The Spoken Word

WARNING!!!! VERY VERY VERY ( did I say Very? ) EXPLICIT CONTENT!!! Postpunk was more than just music--it was an attitude, it was performance art, it was TV ( dig The Young Ones ), it was Comedy ( Alexi Sayle,ABFAB,etc), it was poetry, it was books, film -- every media and method. This is all before the concept of Politically Correct reared its ugly head--beck then, people of an artistic persuasion were not afraid to tell it like it was, or should be, or could be, --or wasn't for many on the outside of the prosperous 80's. The ME decade it may have been, but it led to all the various social devolution of the 90's until today . Here we have scathing castigation from Quentin Crisp, Attilla the Stockbroker, Lydia Lunch, Wm. Burroughs, John Giorno, Laurie Anderson, ( and more ), and a mystery artist who can win you a free T-shirt if you guess who it is--anyone game?
