found schoolyard chalk drawings, ITIN ’05
Well the Park Slope teen punks were out in force this weekend. Someone should build a goddamn reck center already. All they do is loiter in the elementary school playground…smoking cigarettes and talking about music…. and apparently drawing. I like how this budding artist used chalk (a civilized kid…you know expressing him/herself but not vandalizing anything after all). The only spray grafitti I’ve seen was a big tag up in favor of John Kerry over Bush. It was fairly civic … and who in the neighborhood didn’t agree? So people left little didactic notes: “I like your thinking, but couldn’t you find a more appropriate means of expression?”
That sort of shit.
Anyway I like the basquiatty quality here: It’s a smile face…it’s a cock…its’s blow job… its a swastika, its a cross…it’s a nigger, no it’s just NIG… a cute sounding word note
Sort of poetic.
Willoughby wakes up and Willoughby goes shopping at Cost Co and Willoughby doesn’t want to die, but he does want to kill some one.
I’m thinking about how to do Willougby’s manic shopping spree. Is it Cost Co, or where? Something about picking up items and throwing them into the oversized cart: that infantile world created by big box retail where, like alice through the looking glass you are very small and the products are in huge boxes and you push around huge carts. Its like that store they used to have in SoHo when I was a kid: Think Big.
America.
I titled this entry fairly early in the day and then in one of those happy collisions, VH1 was showing the rock and roll hall of fame thing (I imagine it will be showing all the time now, but I just caught Bono and U2….and there is something about them when they perform live. Bono cops a pretty good Morrison act and it is compelling. They sounded good with The Boss too (who also is better as and act than as an idea… I mean the persona is dull, but live he is awesome)…then the doors live in Europe on Trio with Grace Slick remembering fondly what must be hard to remember.
Rock and Roll Television… Let’s Go!
