Slim pickins this week, y'all...
New Book
I'm a huge fan of Gallery 1988's Crazy 4 Cult series and have bought a handful of pieces and prints from the shows. The combination of brilliant talent, unique visions and beloved films makes it an easy sell for me. Many of these pieces are being collected for this book and I would highly recommend picking it up.

Quotent Quotables - April 23, 2010
Rob Dean On Friday, April 23, 2010 at 3:45PM Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.

Music Memory Mondays: The Wallflowers, "One Headlight"
Rob Dean On Monday, March 22, 2010 at 1:30PM Song: "One Headlight" by The Wallflowers
Event: Misheard lyrics
One of the coolest things about art is its inherent subjectivity. What something means to you may mean something completely different to me. That possibility for myriad interpretations opens up any works - allowing it to be as emotionally resonating or coldly apathetic as the audience which witnesses it. And what makes such interpretation even more malleable is when the audience member is either misinformed or simply perceives something incorrectly. The piece of art - though that may be a lofty title to attach to it - that most reminds me of the transitory identity of art is The Wallflowers' song, "One Headlight."
To start - I'm not a Wallflowers fan; I don't own any of their music, I don't know any songs outside of this one and their cover of Bowie's "Heroes." I know that the lead singer is Bob Dylan's son and that they haven't really been around for the past decade or so. And "One Headlight" doesn't get as much radio play as it once did. But whenever I do happen upon it on the radio, usually on some "Best of the 80s, 90s and Today" station, I stop scanning the stations, listen to the song with a smile, recalling my incorrect reading of the song.
