The Best and Worst Rock Art Statements
Posted by TheDailyBumbler on 16 October 2007 - 10:19pm.
''Art'' elucidates and exemplifies the empty boasting of a swaggering braggart. Braggadocio is a past-time favoured by so-called creative minds e.g. musicians.
Combine the two and the outcome is usually enough to make you vomit blood through your eyeballs.
Though, as revealed in this months ''The Word'', their are exceptions. Disagree with there choices for both categories?
State your claim here.
One notable omission for the Worst was Bonos contribution to the world of literacy illustration in a 2005 edition of Sergei Prokofiev ''Peter and The Wolf''.

A Good Read, But...
...I found the two lists rather interchangeable. But that's art for you, innit? One man's meat is another's two veg, and I found the vast majority of both lists to be a touch on the bollocks side.
Notable exceptions include Kraftwerk's robots, which were brilliant, and Richey Manic's arm slicing, which wasn't so much a 'rock star event' as a the actions of a disturbed and fragile individual - more of a cry for attention than any real attempt at being arty.
I seem to recall...
...Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69 'dancing a ballet' on an obscure BBC2 arts programme back in the late '70's. Or was that a particularly gruesome nightmare?
Anyway - worst art 'statement' - Prince scrawling 'Slave' on the side of his face. Best? Blur's drummer Mr Rowntree adopting a 'Dave' scrawl in homage.
