from wikipedia :

She performed in New York during the 1970s. One of her most-cited performances, Duets on Ice, which she conducted in New York and other cities around the world, involved her playing the violin along with a recording while wearing ice skates with the blades frozen into a block of ice; the performance ended only when the ice had melted away.

I call BULLSHIT

Selective. if you quoted her whole, extensive, Wiki entry it would show that she's a highly qualified and interesting choice.

Lou Reed's missus to boot.

.............. or for those a little more broad-minded, this could lead to something very interesting. I've always liked her.

If you don't like what's being put on, you don't bother to go.

Those who can, do; those who can't, carp

I applied for an Arts Council grant for my challenging piece about pollution and the destruction of the rain forests but they weren't forthcoming.

It involved the last few bars of 'Feed Me With Your Kiss' played at double speed, shifted down a tone in reverse whilst a tribe of pygmies pulled pieces of nylon thread through polystyrene cups with somebody turning the lights on and off intermittently.

They said they would only fund it if Lou Reed had stuck his dick in me.

I'm sorry but we on the AC thought that your submission lacked guile and imagination, particularly as that was the 5th year running that pygmies, nylon thread and polystyrene cups all featured in your entry......

btw, talking of entries, fwiw, Mr Reed cast the deciding vote.

She only got the GIG because I turned it DOWN. i wanted to sit BIG Hilda on TOP of the i360 NAKED and let it TWIRL around whilst she SUNG 'Where is the 1983 FA Cup Final CASH' but they said it wasn't ARTISTIC enough

That's the best place for the bitch, she'd sit quite low on it.

When Bowie and Gabriel do your stuff, you are an inspired choice for Brighton for a change.
