They step out of a Warhol movie, this rock and roll band. Pope Ondine and four Chelsea girls, Heavy Metal Kids fleeing the Nova Police. The drummer emerges from beyond a wall of amps, dreamily staring into space, slack-jawed and moronic; the bassist, his pasty skin framed by long dark lifeless hair, is a ringer for Mario Montez. Their new guitarist, the one discovered in a men's room, has powdered his face and lipsticked his already feminine mouth.

...Wyman's restrained bass lines, and this combination provides the thrust and visceral power of the Stones' music. With the drum/bass as floor, the two guitars fight for control, continually re-emphasizing the forward thrust of the bass, while Jagger's alternately sneering and raging tones proclaim through this wall of sound the primal savagery the Stones have always represented.

In his six-foot high "Alice House Wall" Robert Arneson builds earthenware "stones" into a picture of a landscape with a ranch house. But its humor isn't in the subject-it's in the way the "stones" jostle and hug each other, and how the different blues, greens, oranges, pinks, and other unevenly applied glazes look next...
