[kj] (OT) Adam Ant @ The Electric Ballroom - Bipolar Sado-masochist

[Paul Wady]

Let us not forget that our hero is actually, proven and trusted to be, a bipolar sado-masochist.
Makes sense he would actually conspire against himself, by doing things to his own set and his band in order to create trouble in a gig.  This gets him abuse, pain, which he then fights as we see in the film.
See?  He sabotages his own behaviour and his life in order to live with tension and pain.  Lots of different forms of it.  All that sex in Dirk wears white sox is not exactly vanilla!

I think to really understand and appreciate him, you need to see him as a self-destructing art-form.

Do you reckon he can still walk the walk?

Happy New Year everyone.  
The comments on youtube here:

...are actually quite positive.  A three-hour set is more than enough to cover everything I heard him do in the Union Chapel.  I thought at the time I'd really caught him on a very good night.  I believed I would be very lucky to see as good a show again.  
Bit of a mystery.  Maybe his own staff blogged for the better?  One thing is for sure.  If you want a reliable, consistent, predictable performance from your rockers, you need Linkin Park.  The real deal really does represent anarchy???????
