Gosh, a famous Harvard alumni who bores people half to death with ovine bleating? For some reason I'm not surprised. "Gray is my favorite color"... Hmm... Perhaps his lecture was supposed to be a degenerate artwork of some kind?

You know, that may actually be true....

But seriously, I've attended many lectures about Jasper Johns, and this one takes the cake in boring me to tears and beyond. Usually the type of people capable of giving lectures on topics like these are quite energetic and fun to be around, but this guy had a screw or two loose in his head.

Simple boredom in of itself is understandable. He should be an academic, not a performer after all. Yet boring drab lacking in content is simply unforgivable. I'm still angry about that lecture.
