...guilt or defensiveness. On "Creep," the band's searing 1992 hit single, a self-described "weirdo" strips his psyche bare. "I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul," he laments, Yorke's fallen angel voice almost choking with unrequited love. But by the time Jonny Greenwood's buzz-saw guitar cuts through the pathos on the chorus, Yorke's declaration of creepdom has a become a defiant anthem for anyone who has ever wanted someone or something they can't have...
...third section the Mori show focuses on artists and architects who took buildings apart as a means of arriving at new ways to put them together. In the early 1970s the architect-artist Gordon Matta-Clark would buzz-saw transverse slices out of entire wood and plaster structures, giant incisions that would turn the buildings into a fascinating kind of site-specific sculpture.

Give them WWF-style names like Mauler and Vlad the Impaler. Put them in a Plexiglas cage, and let them hammer, buzz-saw and ram the motor oil out of each other. Throw in campy announcers and a good-looking blond to interview contestants, and you've got a license to mint ratings...
...with his body. In the current Talk Magazine there's an article by me talking about Reagan chopping down trees and this personal force of his, and there's a photograph of us at the ranch that particular day I'm telling you about, and he's holding a buzz-saw, and my hand is on his shoulder saying goodbye. That's when I saw the real, real Ronald Reagan...
