I hope you realize that this statement is itself an analysis: YOUR
analysis of Byrne's motions as not meaning anything in particular and
conveying a generalized feeling to the viewer ... Some of enjoy
consciously analyzing these works as much as you enjoy shutting off
the critical faculties when you listen to them or watch the videos.
Please don't begrudge us our enjoyment. If you don't like our
analyses, you're free to use the 'n' key to skip over the article (and
if you use rn, set up an entry in your kill file to skip ALL articles
on the subject). Variety is what the net's all about, isn't it?
