Alan Vega
Alan Vega used to say that as beeing basically a sculptor, music was secondary
for him. Was that just another provocation? Alan Vega is anyway a true legend (a romantic hero or a deamer for
some), joining for any kinds of obscure or more visible projects. He actually induces what Legs McNeil calls the
astonishment, a mixture of fascination, made of repulsion and admiration: otherwise, how can one continue to adulate
somebody who is ok with just a 30 minutes act (sometimes less, sometimes more) without any communication with the
assitance? He's probably one of the original punks actors of the CBGB (New York Dolls, Ramones, Richard Hell, Wayne
County, etc... see the compilation Songs of the Naked City) and someone which remains the most homogeneous
and with the most credible attitude. |
