I’s still tryin’ ta figure out why ya said he was hinged
This is draggin’ on a bit as my neighbor has suffered a serious breach in his parameter containment and is leaking cows, steers, etc. My horses are not amused.
A point of subtley, and well played. First to point out that Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych is not hinged. Flatley’s two images here have no hingement. I have, with Warholian precedent as my shield, also called the Flatley arrangement a diptych. But that is all: therefore I have not said that Flatley was hinged, or unhinged. That is another matter, and ground upon which I should not presume to tread.
I’ve said this before, but I think where Flatley shines brightest by far and away is at playing reels. I loves me some Flatley reels. Pretty brilliant stuff, I think, and his way with variations could almost be a study in itself.
Well, yes, he DOES look well-lacquered, but you have to admit that the makup artist had the commendable good taste to use a light touch with the trowel.
i’d agree, his reel variations are nifty.
I’m not much for his jigs, which seem pedestrian…
or his airs, which lack some basic musical quality…such as playing in tune.
