This thread will make me laugh for a very long time. There will be many more subway riders making eye contact with him and getting this avalanche of history, theory, fantasy, and just plain old bullshit. Or as we say in the line up entertainment. As soon as a set comes in you can break free and ride a wave away and even keep away if you want but I'm telling you, you might want to paddle back and listen just to hear the workings of a very precise and egocentric mind making a timepiece with gum, gold, pepper and saccharine. I have compared stories with others and whole the themes remain constant, his laser perspective darts around to new and old, novel and sacred, original and stereotypical. In the end it's like a cubist painting that blends every isolated perspective into a painting you can never decide if you like at the time. It's the exact opposite of the Gestalt, it's not the whole but the pieces that fascinate.
