I reckon people only dislike modern art 'cos they didn't think of it.
Apologies for not gettin' oot on the ol' pushiron these last couple of
months but I is raring to go now. I'm right keen to purchase a canny
artificial light enhancement unit to strap to me handlebars too. At the
minute I'm torn between the sexy Hope and the skimpy Exposure (as they're
both pretty cheap at Chain Reaction at the minute. Any ideas?

I would find it easy to be critical about coneptual
art mainly cos that sort stuff is born out of the
artists strive to make something that grabs peoples
attention and creates headline. (A bit like Big
Brother) But by the same token its a part of the
artist slant on life and must mean a great deal to
them idividually. For me that initial impact of a cow
sawn in half wears off quickly cos I've madder things
going through my head most of the time.
Inners strikes again, rotten luck with mechanicals.
Still us primitives got our kicks.
