now, absolutly not punk


There is no punk now, more classics; had some notes, some horrible picture of my beloved marsbar picked out (so many thing to so many people, dive, skid row, heavy metal, punk palace, or, my favorite, old Bohemia) but found myself making notes from a GG Allin cd. Actually, Let it Bleed is a great song and I do recall that shot of GG maybe a block from the marsbar in leather mc jacket, boots and jock strap and, he is too much. PUNK has been dead that long; nervana and grunge and now, just classics (and failed paintings). So, I took my daily glance at artforum to work from there (that's what it for after all. Magazine isn't available here in the town (long bus ride for artforum) and, it's very formal these days, but I suggest http://artforum.com/news/#news13020 for whats happening and DORIS SALCEDO, who will be showing at the at the tate. Didn't notice any painting, these are elaborite gurila vedeo instlations...

Thats DORIS SALCEDO at left...I dunno...politicts of war right now and it seems very exclusive..

I am alone in the world.
