Featured interview with Linda Mac and Labash!, the folks behind...

The life and art of shaman, performance artist, writer, poet, painter, rock singer, director, TV show host, teacher & bon vivant FRANK MOORE!
* Episode 1: "A Lucky Guy" (frankadelic.com/episodes/episode-1.html)
- (eroplay.com/Cave/ArtShaman/artsham1.html) [archive.is/tdhUH]

* "Art is a Bitch", a poem the Frank Moore Archives (eroplay.org/art-is-a-bitch/) [archive.is/lh1VL]:
Someone asked:
1. What were the THREE MOST IMPORTANT things you did to get a break and start moving toward recognition as a performance artist?
2. While you were moving toward getting to where you needed to go, how did you make enough money to survive while not taking away TOO much time and energy from your creative work?
3. How do you spend your days now, mostly? e.g., approximately what percentage of each day is spent writing, marketing yourself, planning shows, arranging tours, scoping out and applying for grants, bringing in outside income, acting as a mentor to other artists, etc.?
4. What do you love MOST about doing what you do now?
5. What do you HATE most about doing what you do now?
I can only answer
art is not a career
not a money maker
but a money taker
an addiction,
a life long master
who does not give
a flying fuck
what I “THE ARTIST”
loves, hates,
what I want to do,
where I want to go
the artist’s job is to surrender,
to follow, to melt into art
making money is easy
but the river of art rarely flows
naturally that way
without damming the river up
so keep your day job
get a day job you like doing
because art is your mistress of night
& you ain’t her pimp
she’ll take your money & time
she will take you into the basement
of the unseen
you’ll get old with her
attending her needs
rocking on the porch with her
no goals, no plans, no marketing,
no rush.
Just rocking, just surprises everyday,
just people dropping by,
just floating without knowing,
just doing, just suffering, just enjoying.
Just following.
Just trust the bitch art!
