Updated: Lazyweb

A "bleg" is a "blog-beg," in which the author of a blog asks his readership for help. deprecated terminology at our place; we're going with "lazyweb" instead.

So here's mine for the day:

Someone famously observed that (this is the gist of it) there is no one quite so artistically/professionally conservative as an avant-gardiste who makes it to the big time.

Is that ringing any bells with anyone? I can't for the life of me remember who said it or exactly how it was said, and my Google-Fu is failing me.

Thanks in advance.
