Review of Silvio


?The world according to Silvio??that?s what comes to mind after hearing this piece. Sylvio is an offbeat artist, and in this 5-minute stream of consciousness, he shares his thoughts on the definition of art, one?s moral obligation to make things better, the church, American women, living frugally, and his loneliness. At times he is preachy, at others intolerant, and sometimes incoherent. His honesty and energy are engaging however, and I was surprised several times by what he revealed about himself. I don?t quite know what to make of Sylvio, but I did enjoy the roller coaster ride of his musings.
