26: Creative Nerds

Creative people are essentially nerds. They were not the most popular at school but were in the main the types who spent all their time in the bedrooms listening to whatever was the left-field music of the time, for me it was (maybe unfortunately) Gary Numan. This is why art that is essentially nerdy is very successful because we love it! Plus journalists in those fields are mainly artists / musicians that haven’t managed enough success to make a living out of it but like us identify with the art / characters / musicians of the piece.

Latest pieces to benefit from this: Napoleon Dynamite and The Life Aquatic.
