Diver,

I'm writing from Brooklyn, N.Y. My neighborhood has all these hipsters, but all they do is sit around drawing silly pictures while high. You know, "artists." Other "musicians" charge you money so you can watch them attempt to learn how to play guitar while they get drunk. Should I continue to support their so called "art" when all I'm doing is supporting their drug and drink habits?

I'll tell you this Mr. Klamprs,

not every "hipster" is hip, nor is all art good. A lot of it sucks. Just because some music may fly "below the radar" never gaining any mainstream popularity doesn't mean it's all that great, even if a small community of people who think they are "in the know" like it. You understand? I once walked through a major and highly respected museum and questioned much of what I saw on the walls. For example, a red line of paint that looked like it was rolled on with a roller. That was on the walls of a museum in New York City? There was nothing artistic about it at all! OK, my advice, most musicians who try too hard to be hip and obscure never will be. Most of those musicians' fans are fools who will continue to support those habits. My advice to you is to follow only musicians or artists who aren't concerned with being the cornerstone of any type of scene and you will go a long way. Maybe.

Diver,

I am currently in the middle of an ugly divorce from my husband. He told me he had been married once prior, and I found out in court he was married twice prior to our marriage! I'm so bent out of shape about not only this, but men and relationships in general. Is there any therapy you recommend to give me the ability to trust anyone?
