It Is An Artist's Duty To Be On The Wrong End Of The See-saw.

Being A Fan Of Authentic Dada, I Find Today's Art - What I Call 'bankers' Dada' - Mind-numbingly Dull. The Most Challenging Work I've Seen Of Late Is By The British Art Resistance. Their Document, 'a Call For Heroes In An Age Of Cowards', Is Apt In These Days Of Witless Chancers.

I've Not Been An Admirer Of Contemporary Music Since Punk Rock Went Off The Boil In 1977, But Once A Year I'll Listen To 'spiral Scratch' By The Buzzcocks, Or 'hippy Hippy Shake' By The Swinging Blue Jeans. Otherwise, I Can Put Up With Chopin Or Shakuhachi Flute In The Background.
