In hindsight, I'm not sure the 'career' aspect of his artistic expression was any good for him or his loved ones. Not that anyone's intentions were exploitative (as far as I can tell), but at some point you do have to deal w/ the work in and of itself - and these days I breathe in sharply, wince and think: this is not a good idea that he's doing this (esp w/ the audience that gathered around him in the late 80s / early 90s).

I may be completely wrong. But I can't escape that reaction. Esp when you start thinking about the minefield of issues surrounding choice and responsibility and consent and accountability....

All too sad and painful for me to engage w/ now.

We're playing Crap/Not Crap, so while I feel 'Crap' is not really the right word, there's no way I'm voting 'Not Crap'.

So Crap (by default).
