Open for Discussion: The Menaced Assassin

So, from reading all of ya'lls blogs... weird how that southern accent sneaks its way in....
anyhoo...
I've seen it repeated a numerous amount of times that we're all enjoying reading our peers work and commenting as opposed to creating our own. This thought once again crossed my mind when I saw the following portrait and didn't know what to think. If I had just glanced at the picture, my imagination probably could have ran miles with it, but I made the decision to look at the title first, which might have been a mistake because now I'm stumped. I've been comtemplating the message through the title and i think the assassin is menaced by the music... but honestly.. it seems so abstract to put so much detail around when really its about a music player. Then again, maybe the abstract of it is the point. Either way, I would be really interested in anyone elses interpretations of the painting.


Sorry for the nutidy. If you're offended, please move on.
