Monday Rules (Part 2)

Last Monday I started a weekly series based on the "John Cage Rules." See here.

However, I had decided to go ahead and do the series straight through rather than just one a week. Then I got sick and missed Wednesday anyway...  All of which is to say that I'll be doing the series from here on out, but we'll still call it Monday Rules because why not.

RULE 2: (General duties as a student) Pull everything out of your teacher. Pull everything out of your fellow students.

STEAL FROM THE BEST, babies, STEAL FROM THE BEST.  And if you're literally in a student situation, form yourself a scenius with at least some of your classmates and openly steal from each other.

What's that? That would be cheating? Or lazy? How would any of you ever develop your own style?

Pfft. Tell that to Pablo, Georges, and Juan. Or to Claude, Mary, and Pierre-Auguste. Or to Arnold, Alban, and Anton. You get the picture. Or twelve-tone row.

Just get in there and steal — and be stolen from.
