You know, this response and Michael Healy's epistle do nail me up still
wriggling like Eliot's butterfly to the wall.
But why I wish to be 'h** & UTD' is that there is the strong possibility my
'list' of books may need improvement for I have fallen back on my old ways.
  And, for Michael, ("But that wasn't my point. My point was, what
the hell does it even mean to talk about art and out of date?") it means
that many portions of thinking have changed . . you talk of Monet or the
Beat poet period and, yes, to act like that would make one a throwback. And,
to a degree I enjoy your educated diatribe replete with moral stance,
implication and allusions but what you imply in your obtuse fashion misses
the point of my query by far due, perhaps, to my old fashioned use of a
word.
  Then too, I was born in SF.
