Bad at Sports Episode 111: Sympathy for Dominic Molon - a podcast by Bad at Sports

Duncan and Richard talk to Dominic Molon about, Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967. There are lots of "Rock out with your cock out!" kind of stupid comments. Paul Klein and Wesley hated it, hear from the curator go check out the show and see what you think.

From the MCA site:

"Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967 examines
the dynamic relationship between rock music and contemporary visual
art, a relationship that crosses continents, generations, and cultures.
Since the late 1950s this unlikely hybrid of rhythm-and-blues and
country music has had an undeniable impact on society while drastically
changing with the times. Artists from the 1960s to the present have
maintained a strong connection to rock, beginning with Andy Warhol’s
involvement with The Velvet Underground (who released their
Warhol-produced landmark album The Velvet Underground and Nico
in 1967 -- the same year the MCA opened its doors). More recently,
artists such as Slater Bradley, Raymond Pettibon, and Mike Kelley have
created album covers and music videos for rock bands, while many noted
rock musicians such as John Lennon, Bryan Ferry, and Peter Townsend
have emerged from art schools.

This exhibition is the most
serious and comprehensive look at the intimate and inspired
relationship between the visual arts and rock-and-roll culture to date,
charting their intersection through works of art, album covers, music
videos, and other materials. The exhibition addresses the importance of
specific cities such as London, New York, Los Angeles, and Cologne;
rock and roll’s style, celebrity, and identity politics in art; the
experience, energy, and sense of devotion rock music inspires; and the
dual role that many individuals play in both the sonic and visual
realms. This exhibition is curated by MCA Curator Dominic Molon."
