Every creative pursuit - academic research, music, writing, painting, film, photography, self-respecting journalism - is essentially a method to understand the world.
The methods vary greatly, but - once you strip away all the inessential stuff (tenure, fame, "selling out", etc) - the ultimate goal is the same. In all likelihood, these methods influence the final product, which then selects the kind of person who works in any one field.
Or is this "obvious"?

WTF lyric
From that path-breaking movie, Pyaar Impossible, a song called "Alisha":
Hey boy get me dripping with ice
Get down on you knees and say whats nice
??!!?
Is this supposed to be some sort of female empowerment thing? The boy gets on his knees to *ahem* say what's nice? And why is the girl "dripping with ice"? Is she cold which is why the boy needs to say what's nice? If *cough* warmth is what the girl needs, what good is talking?
More importantly, how is the girl "dripping with ice"? Ice is solid, how can one drip with it?
