| The Beatles – Happiness Is a Warm Gun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| MobiusDick, you are a badass. Thank you for setting everything straight. Though I don't necessarily take your interpretation of this song as my own, I can totally see where you're coming from. Furthermore, I respect your clearly deep knowledge of literary theory and it only lends credibility to your opinions on this board. But I have to admit, I hate the idea that an artist's interpretation of his own work is the only one that is non-valid, or at least, the least valid (though you are correct that it is one of the tenets of the age of Relativity). I'm a fiction writer and I know what my own interpretation of my work is, but I don't eliminate the possibility that anyone else's opinion is as worthwhile as my own. We all bring our own baggage to a work, including the artist. | |
