I kind of get where you are coming from, Ian - the culture of celebrity and the increasing commodifying of art in the 21st century Capitalist world. (how do we remedy the situation?) I just didn't quite understand why Bjork sparked it off. And as Keith said, your comment about Bjork becoming more popular the more obscure she became doesn't particularly ring true. Fair enough you don't like her, but it seems like it is for intellectual reasons rather than plainly just not digging her music?

It leads to questions like 'do you object to art as a commercial venture?'. Where do you draw the line? Are you advocating the approach of the Buddhist artist that simply blows away the dust of the painting after it is created? Is that a realistic expectation in the modern world? Is it really unethical to make money or a living from Art? Maybe it does dilute it. There have been discussions about this kind of thing here before
