i agree completely: but i'm not sure we'll ever reach a definition on 
inside / outside by approaching the issue from the angle of truth 
content. a large part of the thread has hinged on whether x was ever on 
a tour bus / mentally ill / broke etc, none of which have much to do 
with truth content (as i understand the term).

i guess what i was getting at by quoting Wittgenstein was that the 
question of inside / outside and art / non-art don't really seem (to me) 
to have much significance in today's conceptual playing field.

the search for truth content is on the other hand the most compelling 
dimension of aesthetic thinking.
