...members of most professions-be they baseball players, politicians or journalists-treat their calling with gravity and decorum, at least in public. Privately, they may kid their colleagues mercilessly. Artists, on the other hand, like actors, regard their fellows as prime targets for public parody. Lately, works of art poking gentle, and occasionally savage fun at other works of art seem to be multiplying like guppies. Though these works sometimes look like literal copies, they are usually sly, even malicious comments about the nature of art and its relation to reality.

...most interesting aspects of the Bosten Tea Party is its resident light show company, the Road. There was a time when the light show was a mere irrelevance, to be glanced at when one's attention wandered from the group on stage. The art form is much more highly developed today and the light shows these days are real accompaniment to the music on stage. The Road's members have been together for a year and they approach their lighting task as if they were a group playing along with the group on stage, trying to fit their light show...
