They Finally Found
A Name For That!

I don't know how it started. I think it began about 5 years ago on Austin City Limits, were really lousy bands.....bands so bad, that you simply can't survive listening to them....started to be passed-off as good ones. And the public either couldn't tell the difference, or they just plain didn't give a damn. Anyway.....those who are promoting this shit, have finally found a name for it.
They call it "ART ROCK"!!!

Which, of course, got me to thinking about other names for other kinds of lousy things.

Like: "ART FOOD".....which would be served in really artsy restaurants, where they'd prepare such esoteric dishes as 12 individual green peas stuffed with itty-bitty meatballs.

Or "ART INVESTMENTS" .....oops!.....Bernie Madoff beat me to it!
(did you ever notice his initials?)

How about "ART TV"....which might be a 90-minute camera-close-up of a sidewalk, with once in a while, an ant crawling over it....or a leaf falling down on it.....or a cigarette being tossed near the leaf and another ant now crawling over the cigarette.....

I feel a whole lot better now.
Sometimes, just writing down an annoying
thought will chase it away forever.
So thanks for listening.
