the art of storytelling

 art, poetry, song and storytelling are not reality (a real depiction of what actually is).  

the artist, the poet, the composer and the storyteller provide a perspective, through his/her own multiple filters, of actuality.

then, if ever edited or translated or dupe-licated, the new piece will differ from the original.  the further-away that one is from the original (e.g. distance, time, language, etc.), the more likely a difference.  heck, interpretations can be diametrically opposed in real time, with no lapse between the artist and the dupe-licator.

the kjv* is (in an of itself) art: it is poetry, song and storytelling -- often dupe-licated decades after the "fact."

if someone tries to convince you to believe that john caffetry and the beaver brown band is actually bruce springsteen... simply smile (and slowly back away).

while each artist was painting the same marina, 

their perspectives reflected completely different versions of marin-iality.
