“To those privileged ones -- among whom we count ourselves -- the high-resounding "isms" to which their contemporaries ask them to give their allegiance are all equally futile: bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble; bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success, if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious, and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men; all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail.” IfsMenGivingSoulAsksEnjoyNumbersGrowingPlanetsProveSlaveKillingBoundsNobleAppealsDefeatedRejectedPrivilegedVulgarDestinedBetrayedOur PlanetAllegianceFree ManPretentiousNoisyContainingIsmsPosing Author:Savitri Devi
“It's impossible to say that live art enjoys any single status in the information age--there are versions of live art that are still primarily art-world phenomena, others that appeal to much broader audiences. The Burning Man festival is a case in point--an event featuring performance that is itself a performance, which partakes simultaneously of frontier mythology, a counter-cultural impulse, and popular cultural visibility.” MenWorldArtStillsAgeEnjoyCasesAudienceImpossibleEventsInformationPerformancesMythologyVersionsBurningAppealsImpulseFestivalsFrontiersArt WorldInformation AgeVisibilitySingle StatusBurning Man Author:Philip Auslander
“Sex appeal is a wonderful, warm, womanly healthy feeling . . . it comes only from inside, it's from nothing that's manufactured. It has nothing to do with measurements or lipstick color. To me, it's cleanliness, and youth, an effervescent desire to enjoy life.” FeelingsDesireSexEnjoyWonderfulYouthColorHealthyWarmAppealsEnjoy LifeMeasurementLipstickCleanlinessSex AppealWomanly Author:Jayne Mansfield
“I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.” PeopleIfsWellsDifferentFoundGamesSportsEnjoyHalfWatchesViolenceTeamFieldsFootballThousandQuietIntellectualEmptyBaseballBallsExcitingAppealsParksComparisonAfternoonAestheticStadiumsBounceTuesdayFootball GameSports TeamOne Sided Author:Bowie Kuhn
