Having a phd does not make you a singer or performer,i can't believe you would compare this to picasso...he might be a genius of some kind but a lot of people all over sydney watching and hearing this don't appreciate this artists 'music'. Don't call people dunderheads for not liking what u like. russfw
You folks don't know a genius when you hear one. This guy has a PHd and pushes ideas into places and forms that only a visionary could. You commenters are the equivalent of the dunderheads who criticised Picaso for painting unrealistically. Fortunately, folks from all over Sydney are watching and hearing this and appreciating the brilliance behind it.
