I'm a big fan of avane garde.  Good fun.   A tap dance, a few jokes, a mime and half way thru the mime BOOOOMMMMM!!!   Ahhh those were the days when you could actually watch a mime blow up and laugh and laugh  and laugh.......
What has happened to the artists of old that used to entertain by blowing themselves up in artistic AND entertaining ways?
Must have all blown up before they had little avante garde families lol
