first you do some handwaving in the direction of "everyone's an artist now tra la" in that kind of inverted socialism way that retro-thinking folk seem to take some perverse glee in doing these days, then when you're asked "ok so if everyone's an artist now tra la how do you propose they live?" and you respond with some rightwing bromides about "snobby east coast liberals" and nascar, the reasonable assumption, ace, is that you're not talking about anything.
then when you try to clear it up, it turns out that such point as you were trying to make was just as disengenuous as i thought from the start.
