Reply to "David Wojnarowicz - Artist"

Yes, Tonya, I will share with you a tale or two... thousand, if you like...
3 Teens Kill 4 No Motive was a New York Post headline (naturally), found by artist Ken Tisa, who had drawn up a list of about 100 names for a band we wanted to start in 1979.
David and I had lived through the era of both Fillmores so we knew that we wanted our performances to include words, music and visuals.
I was also remembering recently that our manager at the time, Iolo Carew, had gotten us all set to be booked as the opening act for Kate Bush's US tour in support of her brilliant "The Dreaming" in 1982, when unfortunately Ms. Bush had a breakdown, refused to fly, and cancelled the tour. It is probable that ours, and David's, lives would have been very different had the tour gone as scheduled, but I have no doubt that David would have continued to create on the more visual end of the artistic spectrum. I, however probably would have gotten sloppier a whole lot sooner ;-)

I am also the body behind the mask of some of David's "Rimbaud In New York" photos, if you are familiar with them.
