cunningham A good way to clear up some of the residuals left behind after Roxy Music was to watch Chris Cunningham’s live 3-screen and 1 lazer performance. The images were haunting, everything from his signature Rubber Johnny doll to young girl’s laying in bed Exorcist style, and even haunting images from everyday life that we overlook like bridges and tail lights.

The performance was powerful and enrapturing with almost everyone from the Roxy Music crowd sticking around to see some powerful stuff.  Despite the fact that you could not see much of Mr. Cunningham who was hidden in a cloak of darkness, many felt the power of his lurking presence and his view of of our mortal condition. It was they type of stuff that may have sent many into fits of twisting and turning, and even nightmares for those headed home to the campground.  A little over the top in its delivery and content, though something altogether different as this visual artist is gradually making his way to the big stage and challenging musicians for the right to preach from this bully pulpit.
