where's Cyrinda Foxe?!

In David's own words 2 years ago "This song started out as a lightweight riff thing I had written one evening in NY for Cyrinda's enjoyment, I developed the lyric to the otherwise wordless pumper and it ultimately turned into a bit of a smorgasbord of imagined Americana ... based on an Iggy-type persona ... The title, of course, was a clumsy pun upon Jean Genet". May Cyrinda RIP

My daughter decided to visit Moma after watching this video. She really enjoyed it - the video and the Moma!

That's lovely to hear Frances. How did her exams go??

Both have been doing exams - one post grad - one finals. Both did ok - fingers crossed!

the three musicians is not in this video

Fabulous gallery, great video. Oof means to get stoned doesn't it? Love the music choice for this video. It immediatly makes one feel the vibrancy of the city and look forward to entering the gallery. I wish my boyfriend had a helicopter. Before anyone says a word I know it was a joke ok!

Oof means something totally different in Hawaii! You can always give the boyfriend a can of Red Bull and hop on his back! lol

Just came across this video. It is not on your home page I think. anyway I love the pictures and the gallery looks like a wonderful place to visit. Well done.

Cyrinda Fox appeared in the original video of Jean Genie. The line 'he screams and he balls' (not bawls), is aptly related to Dali whichever version of the word you choose!! However, I think it refers to Iggy Pop. Many people believe the song was written for Jean Genet the French writer. There are also reference to Alister Crowley 'keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear' refers to evil spells which might be cast using the above. Ah the 70s!!
