Wether someone is ground breaking or not, or leaves a legacy behind is 
irrelevant. My point is being serious about what you do allows you to 
accomplish more. Accomplishing more is usually a good thing for any 
artist.

No, i do not think so. Again i think you achieve more. I do not imply 
in any way that serious means no fun. But i think being a slack ass 
who realizes a tenth of his/her potential is a waste.

While your response is entertaining, i still do not think you can 
compare Pablo Picasso to Paris Hilton. But i must say that Paris does 
look a lot better when viewed in the dark with night vision then Pablo 
would. "Nobody ever called Pablo picasso and asshole" A prize to 
anyone that can name the band that sang that song!
