Artists do their purest work in obscurity, with minimum feedback from any kind of audience. With no audience to consider, artists are free to create work that is true to their own vision.
In an attempt to educate my daughter without the benefit of spoken word (because the spoken word is passe these days), I went through a spell several years ago where I wrote mini blurbs on the various musicians I feel important enough to share with her. Considering I have only gotten her into two point five of the artists featured, I am leaning towards learning Sign Language as means of communication.
I could probably get more across.

One such blubbering blurb that caught her eyes and ears concerned the '70s No/New Wave band Come On. Actually, she thought Elena Glasberg cute enough to give them a try. "She's surrounded by boys!" "I bet they made her wear that shirt..."
