Sometimes we are afraid to say that we like some art… In my case, earlier on in my life, I loved ABBA - but it was politically incorrect to say that in public since it was considered a too sweet and low…
I also love writers such as Henry Miller and bestsellers such as Stephen King. It would probably be more politically correct to say that I love Baudelaire – which is not the case.
So, what are your secret, hidden artists that you like but believe others don’t?
Well here’s something, I really like Save Ferris with their skankin’ tunes, in my opinion, their music can cheer me up.. I kinda asshame to admit it to my friends because ska music its been somekind a black list music in the neighborhood *dough..*
Despite of Save Ferris and all ska music, I proud myself of being an artistic lover and yet try to share it with others - even I often deal with rejection and insulting my activities like: wrote poetry, amaze by paintings, searching for Indonesian’s art heritage (I’m Indonesian-red), loves the 80’s music (the era of my birth) and watching art theatre :)

Ok si es cosa de confesar gustos derrepente “socialmente” no aceptados (o por lo menos dentro del grupo social en el que nos codeamos); he de confesar que me sigue gustando MENUDO (los primeros) a pesar de que paso los 30 años; las comedias romanticas, aun cuando se que son puros cliches y leia las novelas de Corin Tellado que salian al final de las revistas femenidas…a sabiendas de que eran demasiado rosa y siempre con un final feliz. Pero es que a veces necesito escuchar canciones dulces y saber de finales felices en medio de tantas cosas tristes…

Defending the Beatles for receiving the MBE (Members of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) awards from Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace in Oct 1965 was not so “Politically Correct” …for it started a major battle at the catholic girl school I was attending…
Our teacher thought they (the Beatles) were just trash and we that listen to them she qualified as: “Ihr geht alle abends auf den Strich”… (a literal translations would be ‘walking a line at night” but it has a deeper meaning like selling your body)…I had no idea what she was talking about…in my innocence I thought she was talking about “Liedschatten—eyeliner”.
Some of my classmate ganged up on me after class and started blaming me for what was happening in the USA (especially how “black people” were treated ….) I pointed out to them that blaming me would not solve this problem and I mentioned that they should be careful about blaming for not too long ago the fate of the Jewish people in Germany was not the best……this again was not at all “politically correct” for I had to go and see Mother Superior ..even my mother was called in… and I changed schools…
Instead of riding my bicycle to school I had to take a bus for 1 hour …instead of being just with Catholics(girls) we had all major world religions, many nationalities, and both sexes represented on this bus…and we were all friends.
So being politically incorrect was the better choice for me…
With loving kindness,

Bueno, todos tenemos algo oculto. Lo que a mi respecta en ser sincero con mi gusto de arte soy muy abierta. Me encanta, como si hubiese vivido esa epoca el renacentismo. Adoro la usica variada, de un rock 80 clasico en ingles, a una balada en espanol de cualquier cantante, como el jazz. Amo las pinturas, el arte. Eso si me encanta disfrutarlo solo, si estoy acompanada y digo que me siento bien en compartirlo ahi miento pues ese es mi momento para concetarme conmigo misma y dejar salir mi voz interior.
Todos tenemos momentos de honestidad y de mentiras.
Saludos Paulo y Bendiciones. Espero que vengas a PR pronto.

Dear Paulo & all,
**************************************************
Secret and hidden art
**************************************************
Giordano Bruno got punished for sharing ideas,
I am now self-publishing contents as internet is all about sharing ideas,
Stephen King was warrior struggling to live,
As I am learning to struggle like him
Shakespeare is unknown mystery,
He lives in my poetry,
Neruda was saddest in love, wrote saddest lines for all,
His soul is stuck in me when I feel sad for love
Paulo is great inspiration and humble soul,
He is promoting writers like me and many unknowns
Gandhi was believer of non-violence,
Still we are killing each other in silence
Einstein bought science of excellence,
Nobody still understands relativity’s mystery
Newton was confused with apple,
Why didn’t he eat instead?
Leonardo da vinci was inspired by me
I am writer but my books are sealed,
Artist we are all, some secret we all have,
Some make music, some make books,
Some make laws, some make rules,
Some make policies, some make clues,
some make burger, some take them as food
Creation is above creator,
Internet is new way to share ideas of all,
Every body has their own story to share,
I have my own which has become creative creation
***********************************************
God bless you all !

Dear Santosh
“The beat is on”
Ever the entrepreneur - you never miss a bit -
Newton, it is obvious had never heard of the Garden of Eden.
Leonardo da Vinci - man, you go back a few centuries -
Internet is certainly a way to - expose yourself -
:)
Love

Newton not hearing of Garden of Eden ?!
Difficult as he was not only physicist, mathematician and scientist but alchemist and theolog too.
I will say he was very fine The Worrier of the Light, just as Leonardo da Vinci !
Love Luce

He was confused. Which Newton are we talking about? Burt?
Dear Paulo,
Your question opened the forgoten gate in my heart and brought me back music and literarure that made different coulisse in different periods of my life.
More than that it made me realise what a long and rich list it is and also it made me take out old LPs : Fleetwood Mack, Queens, Donovan, Michel Polnareff, George Moustaki, Tanita Tikaram, Nora Jones, Bee Gees, Colomba di San Basilio, Janis Joplin, Mozath, Chopin, Bach, popular classics, Neal Young, Pink Floyd…..no end as it will not be somehow right not to remember them all.
What is the most beautiful I never considered them as hidden art or less correct and I enjoy most of that art (music, paintings, films and literature)still.
Thank you Paulo !
Love
Luce
