Breakfast of Champions
by Kurt Vonnegut
read: circa 2000
Guardian 1000 Novels
I read this back in college, but I remember almost nothing about it - just the fictional painting "The Temptation of St. Anthony," one vertical line on a solid field. The painting draws a lot of criticism, but the artist feels that the fact that any child can reproduce it is a good thing, not a drawback. I think about this a lot when it comes to music: many great folks compositions have simple rhythms, chord structures, and rhyme schemes.
