The Beatles documentary has been really interesting so far. It reveals how these millionaires worked through a creative process that, with the exception of Paul McCartney, was far from
genius. They’re throwing paint on a
wall, looking at it, playing with it. Molding
clay without always knowing what they’re trying to make when they start. It’s amazing to think that even these icons
were just playing around like a garage band, occasionally frustrated at not
knowing how to achieve a sound or overcome an obstacle. That’s the good stuff. That’s where the artist kicks in. Anyone can play a few chords or write a few
lines of a song. But when you’re willing
to sit in that frustration and creatively solve the problem/obstacle, you’re
able to make a piece of art that’s worth appreciating.
