It always has to come (ooppps!) back to the "dick"-thing, doesn't it?

  All,

  Just to bring this back to Art ( with a capital A) in  1968 
Poet-Painter Larry Rivers wrote a perfomance piece( wrighted a 
performance piece?)  called J-O in which five men sat, naked, on 
stage, with  an overhead spot on each  of them. They began to 
masturbate, and when  the first performer came, there was a blackout, 
followed by a "coronation" and celebration. Rivers's contention was 
that speed was somehow conflated with success in our society, and we 
had to unknot these issues  if we wanted to  move forward as a 
society.
