about a stone - almost agree. Almost - because too many talented artists have died in poverty and obscurity. And their work in the best sold on the cheap, at worst - burned to release the studio.
Now about a tie. I do not like it, too. But sometimes it is necessary to wear. And the main thing - the presence or absence of a tie, again no effect on the talent of the artist.
The only negative promoter - if it applies in respect of artistic talent violence (write something, but it is not so, but not in another). But then he is not a promoter, and a rapist
