About Me

What am I doing here? Where am I going? I lost my rock and roll shoes. Got the blues, can't be satisfied. Come on and put your cat clothes on. Play some of that outsider music. Mean, or soft and low. All night long. And what remains of our days.
Or please leave me alone, in my room with my books. Well, I could as good join you for a dance. Wait, let's go to the Film Museum! Maybe there's some Polanski or John Ford movie playing. No? I could meet you in a bar or a hotel lobby. You know how much I enjoy conversation and you know I like the company of your smile.
I travel, in search of beauty and truth.
Or else I spin records on radio centraal in Antwerpen. It's one of the things I love the most. I have a kind of theme time radio hour, just like Bob Dylan, since 1982.
I find splendour, desire and darkness in the work of Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Vermeer, Tiepolo, Tintoretto, Max Beckmann, Velasquez, Goya, Anselm Kiefer, Jan Van Eyck, Max Ernst, Sophie Calle, Marleen Dumas, Walker Evans, Nan Goldin, Bettina Rheims, August Sander, Bill Viola, Ilya Kabakov, Balthus, Duane Michals, Shirin Neshat, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rineke Dijkstra, Vanessa Beecroft, Cindy Sherman.
Words about my daily planet are on hoochiekoochie .
If I don't find the rights words I try to tell my story this way .
