Talk:have Van Gogh's ear for music

Is this "expression" really fit for a dictionary. It is really just a rather bad joke at the expense of a rather good (and tormented) painter. See e.g.

 * David Brooks comments: In the liner notes to the new CD, "Pictures at a Van Gogh Exhibition", John Leighton, director of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam writes "In the hundreds of letters written by Vincent van Gogh . . . Vincent says little about music. But from the few passages we know, it is clear that he had a great appreciation for classical composers."


 * So maybe his ear for music really wasn't all that bad. Making jokes about people with mental issues is far worse taste I'd think. Jcwf (talk) 02:13, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
