Don't get me wrong. I never took my mother's advice. I'm attracted to the lurid, unusual, strange, distasteful and shocking visual images, ideas, sounds and concepts like a moth to a flame. I love the movies of Federico Fellini, John Waters, David Lynch and Andre Breton...the paintings of Salvador Dali, Ives Tanguy and Rene Magritte...the stunning black & white photography of Diane Arbus, Man Ray and Robert Mapplethorpe and the music of Igor Stravinsky, John Cage, the Kronos Quartet, Robert Fripp and Captain Beefheart. There are things that challenge your senses, peak your interest and power creative energy and then there's unimaginative, exploitive and degenerate crap that dulls the senses, confuses the mind and sucks the creative energy out of everything it comes into contact with. I think the Pam Anderson Roast falls into this 2nd category.
