[DUG] Delphi Specials

[Jolyon Smith]

Ø  I am also a classical musician, and I can tell you as far as I know there is not a single case in history where any composer was guided, inspired or helped by a critic.

 

Not a professional critic maybe – i.e. people who are paid only to criticise.  I also am a musician – kinda (for “fun” I play bass, and I am in a vocalist in a covers band) and I can tell you absolutely that my performance is informed and IMPROVED by people telling me when I am not doing my best.

 

There is a fine line to be drawn, for sure, but no-one ever built a statue of a sycophant either.  ;)

 

(look at what George Lucas achieved before he reached the point where no-one ever dared tell him when his ideas were dumb, compared to what he produced afterward)  J
