The cultural bar needs to definitely be raised in art, music and (as you sort of alluded) literature.
Hopefully this kid can help in the world of music. Now one may say he's not even playing his own songs. So what? He's eight. And in my view he's learning some great material. When Herbie Hancock played piano solos with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a child, he wasn't playing his own stuff, he was playing Mozart.
This kid has a lot of potential and that's putting it lightly. The solo he played last night is tremendous. TRE-MEN-DOUS!
