Or art for arts sake. But unfortunately that's life - if most people don't knuckle down to the illusion there will be no room for us parasites who just like to dance ...ivanpopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370238943551786692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7815640431651173676.post-25475176534830412062008-06-04T10:21:00.000+01:002008-06-04T10:21:00.000+01:00I guess the point is that for most people it ain't...I guess the point is that for most people it ain't a dance, more of a forced march.
