King's in the city, so many Carteret cops; I'm actually sitting here looking at my honorary Carteret Police Force pullover, they used to bring us all kinds of swag and it was great. Hopefully we'll see some old friends there but I don't know, it has been so long, they may have retired by now."

There are few news stories that rile us up quite like revelations of elder abuse in retirement or convalescent homes. Bullying old people who can't defend themselves is about as low as it gets, so to hear of such horrors really makes our blood boil. But while we sympathise with the victims of such crimes, it also sets us selfishly thinking about our own uncertain futures, of whether we might end up in such a place and find ourselves similarly victimised.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
