Black or white



From an article about arts like music and photography:

He'd say he couldn't "hear" music he didn't understand, and he'd listen till he got it. When somebody says something like "I hate abstract expressionism," or "I hate rap," they only mean they've never looked into it and it's still something apart and outside. People who understand, differentiate. They see the landscape of that genre, the ups and downs, the ins and outs. Until you start to get the subtleties, you haven't yet really started to see.

How many times have you seen *me* in black and white? Sometimes the picture says more if it's coloured, but there you go: the finger-four, in a form as black and white as people use to think like.
