I had to look up "nexus". I see it's a poncey word for "link". I bet Flatley uses the word.talasiga wrote:benhall.1 wrote:You guys always say he's a great flute player, but I have to say, I'm still waiting for anything by Michael Flatley that I actually like.
yes, what exactly is the nexus between what you MIGHT like and the question of greatness of a particular musician?
Did you mean to imply a nexus between the two?

You know, I think "woo" must be one of the un-Frenchest of words, when you think about it.

Re: Flatley on Flute
A point of subtley, and well played. First to point out that Warhol's Marilyn Diptych is not hinged. Flatley's two images here have no hingement. I have, with Warholian precedent as my shield, also called the Flatley arrangement a diptych. But that is all: therefore I have not said that Flatley was hinged, or unhinged. That is another matter, and ground upon which I should not presume to tread.Denny wrote:I's still tryin' ta figure out why ya said he was hinged
