Lavatory Thought Development

did Picasso dream up Guernica while taking a *****& did Van Gogh fantasize about Starry Night whilst draining the lizard? how about Pollack---though we have been told via Ed Harris’ film (the only art history anybody has anymore) that he came upon the splatter by accident, but how do we really know? coulda’ been when he was pinching a loaf--- coulda’ been coulda’ been. insert the name of your favorite painter here: _________________ & ask yourself if s/he really got all their inspiration from long walks at night, heavy alcoholism, endless orgies into the morning, a good smack habit, brushing one’s teeth with Absinthe, or, if in fact, it may of just been an amazing idea which revealed itself while said artist was in deep potty meditation. saw in an interview with Tori Amos once, that she got the idea for many of her songs while she was sur les toilettes, but then again, she believes in fairies... the point is, all those ideas that come out when you’re pissing, just might be the next Sistine Chapel, the next Notre Dame or the next piece of brilliant architecture that our species brings into being--- hopefully without said artist(s) being on the goddamned church payroll.
