Re: FLUXLIST: Mr T. versus Everything
I always wondered if Mr T didn't get that line "I Pity the Fool"--from the famous song of that name-- the phrase had become after it came out a popular expression The most famous version is by Bobby "Blue" Bland-- it's a great song and was huge hit--(in r and b market mainly) --dave baptiste

For reference, the song hit 46 on the Billboard pop chart in February 1961 (always handy to have a copy of the Billboard guide for points like these). Tangentially, I came upon a whole mess of old Bobby Bland '45's at a Salvation Army in Atlanta recently (though "I Pity the Fool" was not in the stack)...Of course "I Pity the Fool" could just be a common phrase in Southern Black English that white folks wouldn't recognize, engendering both the Bobby Bland song AND Mr. T's tagline. Maybe there's a Mr. T info. archive where we'd be able to find that out. Mandy Mastrovita
FLUXLIST:Gett better School stuff
Hope you feel better, Dave! It seems that every body's sick, three of my teachers were out the last two weeks. By the way Micheal Asher is one of my teachers, and a guy by the name of Martin Kerslers- He has had stuff in the Getty at a show called departures and at LACMA right now, among other places. Pretty cool. I love Micheal's work, I think it is some of the most brilliant stuff. And Martin is real interested in the body, very cool also.

Re: FLUXLIST: Coffee
there's something obscene though about mixing decaf with Liquor. Belize Tropical Brandy, Creme de Cocao, #1 Barrel Rum, Amaretto, White Creme de Menthe, Kahlu'a, Baileys, Frangelico, Grand Marinier, Tequila, or any of the above together in an unholy marriage with sanka, America's Conservative Coffee Company's (decaf), Nes.de.café, Harvest Dixie Gold Decaf, or decaf starbucks, etc... similar to this: a friend of mine who had been a steadfast vegetarian for years, has recently taken a version of personal ethical relativity to this new burger eating kick he is on. barbecue, ground chuck, steaks, sausage, most cuts of most meats. it keeps him free from accusations of taking any kind of moral highground. what fascinates me though is his putting bacon on a veggie burger. many people I run into draw the line there. there is just something disturbing about it for vegetarians and omnivores alike.
FLUXLIST: unholy marriage
speaking of which, (this is a research question)... does anyone have any information on any history of marriage or weddings and art? I know of many "married couples" who make work together. I am thinking of Koons and his wife, the Kabakov's... but what about work that has specifically included a wedding, or work that has focused on this in any way? I thought I would look into Fluxus because of the exhaustive art/life overlays etc., but so far - no luck. this one has me a little stumped. if anyone has any sources, vague, informed or otherwise, please enlighten me.. many thanks, Scott Rigby -- BaseKamp Gallery 215.592.7288 723 chestnut st second floor phila pa 19106 www.basekamp.com

FLUXLIST: addendum
scott, g.hendricks also documented his divorce in a something else press book called 'ring piece.' it is available at art metropole. discussions of maciunas' wedding to billy hutching can be found in Mr Fluxus (which i believe is still in print). there are only one or two images that i'm aware of - of the couple changing into each others wedding outfits. dave
Re: FLUXLIST: unholy marriage
george maciunas has a fluxwedding (just before his death), which followed the previous flux divorce of geoff hendricks and his wife bici. hendricks still resides over fluxweddings. he told me about two women who married at the ceremony for al hansen's funeral. they sawed a chair in half (similar to the fluxdivorce) and then tied it back together. yers, dave -Original Message- From: scott rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: October 8, 2000 10:50 PM Subject: FLUXLIST: unholy marriage speaking of which, (this is a research question)... does anyone have any information on any history of marriage or weddings and art?
