In answer to a question someone asked the other day, “Who is more talented, J-Lo or Lady Gaga?” a Zen koan emerged:
“Which flies better, a turtle or a rock?”
We now return to twc’s regular curmudgeonry, disorganized mopery and observations on the passing scene.
That IS the perfect answer to the original question.
“So feathers or lead?”
“Hm?”
“It is the riddle of the kallikanzaros. Pick one.”
“Lead.”
“Wrong.”
“If I had said feathers –”
“It wouldn’t matter. The answer is whatever the kallikanzaros wants it to be, and the kallikanzaros generally wants you to lose.”

I do miss Zelazny. Oh, well. I guess writing more from beyond the grave is still not in the realm of the possible. 😉
Maybe the talent is getting undeserved attention? In which case they are both very talented. 🙂
Talented at getting undeserved attention? Well, yeh! 😉
