Morris, head of the second largest labor union in Britain and member of the Royal Commission to reform the House of Lords, is addressing the convention today...
...early '90s with the Egyptians, steadily building a huge underground of connisseur-grade fans who came to shows as much for his surreal, almost Dadaist rants between songs as for the music. In May of 1996 he played a 30th anniversary remake of Bob Dylan's seminal Royal Albert Hall concert in a pub near the famed original venue, and later in the year he released a solo album dubbed Moss Elixir.

Proving that local politics tends to make all art local, it is this work, rather than Ofili's Holy Virgin, that prompted an outcry in London, where "Sensation" first appeared two years ago at the Royal Academy of Arts. And yet, like Ofili's work, Myra is hardly an astonishment, looking like a wobbly send-up of a picture by the American painter Chuck Close. People in New York, ignorant of her crimes, will surely pass...
