Live at Herron 1985

Artist: African Sleeping Sickness
Year: 1985

Notes: It was in the fall during Herron's student art show. We thought it was a good idea to bring a little of home with us as we pulled out of Devon Woods and grabbed cornstalks to decorate the stage. The show was the usual gathering of Talbot Street zombies and critics. Streaming from the ceiling on one end of the gym were gobs of 35 mm film of some late 70's flick. There is nothing quite so exhilarating as seeing the eyes of would-be artists in total shock. Chad screaming "No Eyelids, No Eylids!" while slinging those dried out cornstalks. The dust went everywhere. We could barely keep our eyes open during the set. The crowd in attendance hated us. We cleared the room, or rather, the cornstalks did. That is Pure art! Some tall dracula-looking dude came up to Brad and said, "Yeah, you ruined the evening, don't ruin the artwork!" He replied, "We gave you cornstalks!" and took some 35mm film anyway.
