LYDIA LUNCH / EXENE CERVENKA

Lydia Lunch and Exene Cervenka - Rude Hieroglyphics [Live]1995. Rude Hieroglyphics encontra Lydia Lunch no palco na Flórida com Exene Cervenka, a cantora dos X, com quem ela já havia publicado um volume de poesia Adulterer's Anonymous.

Working in tandem and encouraging each other's worst excesses, the two tick off sneering, indignant, self-righteous opinions about O. J. Simpson, women, welfare, abortion, the surgeon general, reproductive rights, parenthood (something to which Lunch is violently opposed), the Catholic church (ditto), masturbation (very much in favor), the information highway (against), Courtney Love (against), museums (for), germ warfare, Nazi doctors, yadda yadda yadda. As current-events art, this is a total waste, a boring double-barreled harangue only occasionally broken when Cervenka stops to read an actual piece of prose. Lacking the appealing self-effacement of Henry Rollins or the standup wit of Jello Biafra (two rockers active in spoken word), Rude Hieroglyphics is bad lecture night at the poli-sci club.
