Ah, here we are going somewhere else. Does art need an audience? Is that it's intention? Does a song need an audience and is that it's intention? Or is the primary relationship between the creator and the art/song and THEN the next stage of the art/song is the life that it lives in the world? Do we create first of all, to please something inside ourselves, and secondly, engage in a response with the world? And can we then control that response? Or are we all getting too academic here?
