Tatlin's Tower rip-off



A worry about graffiti

"If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid. "

Herman Melville (1819-1891)

The same for Graffiti? Were the Active Wing wrong?

Beware the encrouchment. Phite the Philistines

Illustrators do not rock
rock musicians rock

Fight gritty realism
Fight Gangster / bling culture

Paul Morley

Paul Morley spoke some sense tonight 11:00pm The Review Show BBC 2

Additions:

"It is now compulsory for middle class parents to send their offspring to le 'mosh pit' while they attend Glastonbury or Reading. Festivals are the opium of the masses. Most music currently is pointless. MOC. "It's easy to sound good given what's already been done." PM . Not good enough though." Mocksim Also: IMMA AOR LINK

"Where's the disruption and subversion in the new world?", "It's easy to sound good given what's already been done." Cage sets the tone. Paul Morley

As young fellows pass us, playing guitars and vaguely singing, while we only mean to drink and chat. "I'm sick of music. You can't escape it" Dr. Jon Gilhooly
