> I just reread my initial post, and it's funny how I went from "great novel" to "good trash" in such a short time.
So, what's the difference? ;^)
I'm sure Shakespeare may have had some notions about the "art" in his work, but he wrote to sell tickets. "Good trash" sells tickets (eg, Snakes on a Plane as the #1 movie last week). If it happens to be great art as well, that's bonus.
Speaking of millions of pieces but switching to music, there's a friend of a friend here in NYC who used to call his band "the Million Pieces". Bob Scheffler and the Million Pieces. It was Bob, a percussionist and a bass player. Don't know what happened to the Pieces, but Bob (who's a social worker IRL) has stuff on Amazon and CD Baby, if you're into Indie Urban Folk.
