Are you advanced?

Via a afterthought at Dean's World, the theory of Advancement, or why Val Kilmer and Lou Reed are the world's greatest artists, and Neil Young isn't.

The easiest part of the meta-linked piece to grasp was Val Kilmer's weirdness/greatness, even for me, a guy whose first thought when seeing Kilmer used to be "Rimjob", or whatever his nickname was in Top Gun. Subsequent of his movies convinced me he was pretty effin good.

But the rest of it sounded plausible, too, even though I'd prefer to disagree with some of the conclusions they reached. Except for the one where Neil Young pretty much blows goat. That's self-evident.

And the Heisenbergian nature of the matter means that even if I wanted to question it, by its very definition I couldn't. I need to arrive at a thesis like that some day, but until then, I'll just envy them theirs.

WRONG WRONG WRONG PART 1.

The most advanced actor in history is Crispin Glover.

WRONG WRONG WRONG PART 2.

Neil Young does not blow goat. Pistols at dawn to settle that vicious calumny.

(Did I mention that my firstborn son might well be named Neil?)
