Be careful, Bari -- you are in danger of falling into the trap of snobbery...

I also consider myself someone who "has good taste", and personally disdain many things as "hack" art -- plastic, fake, mass-produced, "dumbed-down"; just a complete waste of time...

In MY opinion. In MY world.

You and I and all my fellow Honestly listeners must take Rick Rubin's lesson here to heart:

We can always have a friendly debate about what art is "good" and what is "bad"; but I believe Rick is correctly interpreting -- and agreeing with completely -- Jimi Hendrix's famous statement that "There are only 2 kinds of music: good and bad".

Yes there are only these 2 categories of art -- for each of us, individually.

Great interview -- thanks for spending this time with Rick Rubin and sharing his wisdom and experience with the Substack community!
