    "Art is dead" is truly on a different level. His audience in that version were comedians and, although they laughed along, you can see on their faces that his words were hitting nerves and making them hear things they didn't want to consider. That is not a comedy song, it is a crisis and they knew it but they laughed to distract from it all. Bo knew how to make it hit just a little harder, too. The original lyrics were "But I wanted my name in lights when I could've fed a family of four..." In the greenroom, they changed. "We wanted our name in lights when we could've fed a family of four." And the accusatory glance when he sang "There's other people, you selfish asshole" was just... he his an excellent performer.

    as a person who makes art, the song Art is Dead hits weird. Because it's almost a song about feeling guilty for being an artist. "Maybe i'll grow out of it" is so on point. To grow out of being an artist means you wont be this goddamn lonely.

Sad people interpret the bible through a lens of wishful thinking.

      @@gmork1090 pretty sure you've never read the bible. Keep reading after John 3:13 for example: 3
      13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
      14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
      15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    Art is dead
    Art is dead
    [Verse 1]
    Entertainers like to seem complicated
    But we're not complicated
    I can explain it pretty easily
    Have you ever been to a birthday party for children?
    And one of the children won't stop screaming?
    'Cause he's just a little attention-attractor
    When he grows up to be a comic or actor
    He'll be rewarded for never maturing
    For never understanding or learning
    That every day can't be about him
    "There's other people, you selfish asshole!"
    I must be psychotic, I must be demented
    To think that I'm worthy of all this attention
    Of all of this money you worked really hard for
    I slept in late while you worked at the drug store
    My drug's attention, I am an addict
    But I get paid to indulge in my habit
    It's all an illusion, I'm wearing makeup
    I'm wearing makeup, makeup, makeup
    [Chorus]
    Art is dead
    So, people think you're funny
    How do we get those people's money?
    I said, art is dead
    We're rolling in dough while Carlin rolls in his grave
    His grave
    His grave
    [Verse 2]
    The show has got a budget
    The show has got a budget
    And all the poor people way more deserving
    Of the money won't budge it
    'Cause I wanted my name in lights
    When I could have fed a family of four
    For forty fucking fortnights
    Forty fucking fortnights
    [Refrain]
    I am an artist; please, God, forgive me
    I am an artist; please, don't revere me
    I am an artist; please, don't respect me
    I am an artist; feel free to correct me
    A self-centered artist, self-obsessed artist
    I am an artist, I am an artist

    I'm just a kid, kid

    Art is dead is my favorite. Not because it’s relatable on a comedian or artist level. Just a personal level, I feel like I’m telling lies to everyone. I cried when I listened to the whole thing. It’s a huge vent if you truly look at the lyrics. It shows Bo’s thoughts. He may feel bad for being a comedian, which I relate to. It’s what he’s known for, being stupidly happy. Not being sad, not mad, the funny guy. I’m the funny guy..the guy who can’t talk about his feelings, cause every time he does he makes a joke about it to cope. Then everyone brushes it off like it isn’t a cry for help.

      i only ever thought about it after i heard this song, but when you hate smth, it's always with a passion. You don't hate smth or smn for the sake of hating, that's rarely done or only done out of boredom. But if you truly hate smth, it's an obsession. The more you occupy yourself with it, the more you know about it, hear about, live with it until it becomes a part of you. What else could happen, if you keep smth around yourself for long enough? If you're into plants and keep being into plants, it's at some point a big part of your life because you have a bunch of plants crwoding your entire living space (I'm talking about my mom. She has an obsession with orchids, she has over 40 of them suckers). Same goes with stuff you hate. You keep it around yourself and oneday it *is* you.
      Happiness is different tho. It's not a thing, it's smth purely manmade, a concept. Like beauty. If you obsess enough about beauty, you will have a toxic relationship with your appearence and that of others. So why would it be different with happiness? Bo's song kinda proves this point. He sings an entire song about happiness, asking people what it is and wether they have it, how they achieve it, etc.

"You pray so badly for Heaven, knowing any day might be the day that you die. But maybe life on Earth could be heaven, doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try. My loves the type of thing taht you earn and when you earn it, you won't need it....

      i always believed that if you can't find anything worth loving yourself for, then why should anyone else see something to love you for?
      I find it quite the harsh advice because if someone is suicidal then this might encourage the idea of the world being better off without them, but it makes sense to me... kinda...
      i mean yes someone might love me for something even though i can't see it, so i musst learn to love me for something in order for me to receive and accept the love from somebody else and find happiness in my life.

Faith and how you carry out your faith through actions and words is what matters. God knows your heart. Whether you like it or not. Humans do not make the rules of nature we only observe and name them. God made all the laws of physics and we just put names to it. Basically im just saying belief alone doesnt mean it to be true. You could say the same about christianity but the Bible is found to be historically accurate by many historians and atheist scientists. They agree there is a creator for the most part because they are logical and have explored alternative ways the universe created. Everything just leads to big bang or a creator(God). Much more likely there is a God(im christian) simply because we have the quality of God which is being creative and God created tons of specific and amazing things.

    How this sucks. My grandfather died in 1942. He was deaf. He was searching for my 9 year old father born in 1933. Got run over by a train. The family blames him for his death. He didn't hear the one car that was sent. How this hits home.

    A lot of people say that Bo isn’t funny, or that the song format he uses makes the jokes have less of an impact. But I feel that the whole point of his act is to make you laugh and then make you feel bad for laughing by using his song format to really drive home that feeling of going of course. Like how in a lot of the more meta songs the chirpy melody devolves into him just angrily smashed the keys.
