i thought this was a great quote... not sure i agree with it entirely, but it is interesting to think about. the things we create, say or do are all just a collection of our experiences melding into one and coming out as your 'own' creation. where is the line between influence and theft, and it also begs the question: does it really matter? that's the part of the quote that i disagree with, i think it does matter. i can't tell you how mad i was looking at those videos comparing coldplay to the songs they 'stole' and avril lavigne, etc. what i DO agree with, is that you need to be a consumer and take in art, music and any other creation and really soak it up in order to be able to create your own. inspiration is key in creation, an uninspired piece of art can easily be exposed.

in other news... the inauguration was today and it was a pretty great speech. not really much left to say that wasn't said on the 7 hours of coverage on EVERY channel on the tv. so i won't say much else, other than i got chills watching it all today... might even re-watch the speech tonight.

also that quote is sort of awesome. though i'm sort of against parts of it on principle but i feel like on the other hand it's totally true. hm.
