Yanni sucks, no matter how you attempt to classify him.

he should be called "yawni." he masquerades crap as musical art. fortunately most (including mr. forever) can see through it and call him out for what he is (or isn't).

It is hard to understand what the point of this thread is. Is the author trying to take away from the images or rewarding them? Is this an existential realism? I'm confuzzled... help Lonz out please.

I think Yanni playing at Stonehenge counts more as craft than art.

I think the OP was trying to tell us that the photos he posted are photos. The Yanni and John Tesh posts were a blatant attempt to hijack the thread, which should not be tolerated. Although yanni (and John Tesh, though I'm the first to say it in this particular thread) are indeed crap. And they are not photos.

Did I explain it?

I appreciated how you used the word art where it could be substituted for crap :-)
