Iniquitous Goat. Rauschenberg turns 50 this year. It is almost a quarter-century since he popped into American art with an eccentric, prankish and-in retrospect -prophetic show of pictures, some painted all white, others all black, at the Betty Parsons Gallery in Manhattan. This ironic burst of premature minimalism was only the first in a series of gestures that, throughout the '50s, persistently harassed and delighted art's public in New York. They were all conducted under Rauschenberg's slogan, derived from futurism and Dada, about "working in the gap between art and life...
...office, even though circumstances have forced an abrupt shift in his policies. He declared inflation public enemy No. 1, as indeed it was at the time he became President. But willing to listen and anxious to build a consensus behind any policy, he turned to others for advice. In retrospect, his celebrated summit conferences probably inspired more fear among consumers than new policies among experts. Though some economists warned that the recession was going to bite harder than Ford thought, none of them predicted the precipitous decline the economy would take before the year was out. In the fall...
...retrospect, political analysts found it hard to imagine what Ford or any other Republican could have done to stem the Democratic tide. Said Pollster Daniel Yankelovich: "If the issue had been just the economy or just Watergate, there would not have been the same outcome. But at some level of consciousness, the people put the two together. The result was clear-cut anger and blame. They zeroed in on the Nixon-related Republicans, not conservative Democrats or liberal Republicans." In large measure, the reaction sprang from the electorate's strong trend toward populism and moral indignation, as limned in TIME...
THERE WAS SOMETHING about the concert that missed as a whole and whether it was Reed's fault or his band's is pure speculation. The band was a gifted and tempered one and contrasted strongly to the gritty, nerve-grating sound of the Velvets. But in retrospect, that type of coarseness would not make it today, if for no other reason than the size of concert halls. Let's face it--the Velvets were a hard-driving rock and roll band that relied on the intimacy of a club like Max's fully to project their image and encourage...
Jefferson Starship. If you can't stand the pretentiousness of Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, you might want to give a listen to the poignant vocals of former Airplane member Marty Balin. Unfortunately, he appears on only one cut of the Starship's latest release, so in retrospect, maybe it's better to forget this one. Music Hall, October 13 & 14. Tickets are $7.00, 6.00, and 5.00 and are available at the box office, Minuteman/Soundscope, Hub, Tyson and Out-of-Town news and at all Ticketron outlets. Concert time...
