I really liked How to Draw a Bunny. I'm also a Stones fan from back in the day. They had some nice visual lyrics too, like Goodbye Ruby Tuesday and I see a red door and I want it to turn black, no colors anymore I want them to turn black... and the narratives behind Sympathy for the Devil, and the song that you refer to too. McLuhan is fascinating. I subscribe to a McLuhan list here at the University of Toronto, where McLuhan was based. A couple of the list contributors were also associates and acquaintances of him and provide occasional anecdotes. I am coming to see him as a major enigma, flashes of brilliance and outstanding insight punctuated by fragments of incoherence and occasional lunacy. He was also a fan and peer of John Cage.

Not especially convincing for anybodywell-read on the topic, but lots of fun in a fluxus kind of way. http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo Allan Excerpt: The characteristic theme of Abian's[11] target=lhttp://www.elsewhere.org/pomo#fn11model of dialectic construction is the difference between class and sexual identity. However, capitalist theory holds that the raison d'etre of the writer is deconstruction, given that Foucault's analysis of semiotic discourse is valid. The subject is contextualised into a dialectic construction that includes sexuality as a reality. In the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the distinction betweenfigure and ground. Thus, several sublimations concerning capitalist theory may be discovered. The subject is interpolated into a dialectic constructionthat includes consciousness as a totality. If one examines capitalist theory, one is faced with a choice: either reject dialectic construction or conclude that consensus is a product of the masses. But Lacan promotes the use of semiotic discourse to attack society.Foucault uses the term 'dialectic construction' to denote not depatriarchialism per se, but subdepatriarchialism. It could be said that the subject is contextualised into a capitalist theory that includes reality as a reality. Sartreist existentialism states that sexual identity, surprisingly, has significance, but only if consciousnessis equal to truth.
