Art, moral and an aphorism
Quick blog post about a controversy and a great unknown line my brother wrote on Facebook about it, very close to Oscar Wilde's aphorisms. Anyway, a ballet dancer from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet was sacked because he played in a porn. My initial reaction: so what if he did? It's not like he raped anyone. My second reaction is: shame on the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, it is a wrong decision in so many ways. That said, my brother summed it up in a great unknown line: "Artists aren't there to promote some silly
morals. Artists should stay away from morals. Managers should stay away
from everything." Worthy of Oscar Wilde, I say.

Yes, very Wildean. I read that story today too. They mustn't pay ballet dancers very much if he needed to pick up some extra cash appearing in "Cocky Boys."
Good one!
