Prince is SORTA in trouble for his silhouette performance during the SuperBowl.

For decades, the electric guitar, by nature, has been considered phallic. From Jimi Hendrix’s sensual 6-string swagger to Eddie Van Halen’s masturbatory soloing, the guitar has often been thought an extension of a male player’s sexuality.

Was Prince’s pose phallic?

“The short answer is, of course it is,” says Rolling Stone magazine contributing editor Gavin Edwards, who points out that on Prince’s “Purple Rain” tour in the mid ’80s, he performed with a guitar that would ejaculate, squirting water out of its end during the climax of “Let’s Go Crazy.”

“All that said, it didn’t seem like a sniggering little puppet show,” adds Edwards. “I think it was one of those things because a guitar at waist level does look like an enormous phallus.”

 

Ever been to a GWAR show? Water squirting out, you wish.

 

There will be a news story about me on KDLT. Not sure if it is at the 5 PM news or 10 PM.

It’s about my art and shit.

 

The usual suspects showed up, and my favorite collector, Mr. Schwartz and his wife bought 4 paintings.

 

Rick and Charles contemplate cottage cheese.

 

Now the terrorists have us spending $750K on dismantling Lite Brite’s

Give me a break! You would think after the Boston PD dismantled one of them, they would have figured out it was just a stupid marketing ploy. What next, send in a bomb squad to take down band flyers off of telephone polls?

A homeland security rep from the Boston area said “They should have known better in a post 9/11 world then to have done this.” He’s right, that is if he were talking about the PD department blowing it out of proportion.

FEAR, G.W. Has taught us well!

 

 

 

 

This Saturday (FEB 3rd) is your opportunity to see my new exhibit at the Downtown main library and to see Urban Blues play that night at Touch of Europe.

I will be present from 10:30 AM until NOON on Saturday for questions and sale, so you can stop by anytime. I will also be bringing some newer pieces that were not displayed in the exhibit.

Urban Blues will start playing at 9 PM. Last month when they played they packed the house, so come on down.
