THE RADTKE REACTION (LINK INVISIBLE UNTIL YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE OVER IT): THE RADTKE REACTIONSomeone recently told me that I shouldn't challenge a man because of some of his connections. Well, I do so love a challenge. But, when that man has gone from civic do-gooder to arch-nemesis of the New Orleans artist community...has gone from activist to anarchist, I say NAY - BOO! - SHAME! Here's a link to the growing community of artists who are standing up and saying "NO MORE". In two days, over one hundred people have signed up! That tells me not that there are a hundred crazy people out there, but that a hundred people can finally recognize that there is a problem with this man invading our neighborhoods and painting our community GRAY.
I'd like to meet:
TYLER DURDEN::"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."IN TYLER WE TRUSTTo quote: It is no measure of health to be well adjusted in a profoundly sick society. (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
Music:
Music is the base level of my sanity. So, somebody buy me an I-Pod! I lost mine in the great Mexican battle of December 2006
Movies:
LAST MOVIE SEEN: BADASS
Television:
I no longer have any interests. My time is being eaten up with figuring out how to complete my blue collar aspirations. I think I'd like to grow old and die in a padded room with a Thorazine drip.
