Boy, could they play guitar
Nick Coleman
Extract: "As rock 'n' roll suicides go,
it was really quite a moving one. No, really. 'Ah ha,' you may say,'
you're only saying that because you've been drawn hook, line and bra-strap
into the web of counterfeit, complicity and late-nite TV irony on which
all tribute bands depend.' But you would be wrong. I was moved because
this wasn't a tribute band, it was art.... Perhaps the thing that was
most in evidence in the blackness of the ICA's arts womb was an atmosphere
of collective knowingness, even self congratulation, at the bottomless
transparency of the event; a feeling that beyond one window to meaning
lay another, and beyond that another, and beyond the next yet another,
and so on forever, or at least until you got fed up with looking, the
effect being that no-one who took the trouble to look need feel at any
stage that wool was being pulled over their eyes. In short, A
Rock 'N' Roll Suicide made smarty-pants out of the lot of us,
which, as any dim-wit knows, is one of the main uses of art."
