I am fairly certain that I became an artist for the pussy. I learned that when you successfully sell a show there is even more pussy. Getting girls to come into my studio (where there was a bed) was never a problem and then getting them naked was even easier. Tons of pussy in painting if you do it right.
When I got tired of the pussy I stopped painting and took up jazz for the ass it provided.
Poetry has never gotten me laid except by my wife and that is only a maybe. I think it could but I am not interested in that – only the poetry itself.
Playing guitar also never really got me laid – and these are the things I continue to do to this day – guitar and poetry – guitar less so and poetry more so.
Also Ukulele.
