"Spit fury and bile!' demanded the editor. yanking my leash. the price was right so I rose from my apathy. iumped up and down, ran full face at the wall and BANG. bruised and bewrldered. was ready to express hatred.
I don't believe Glasgow's City Council supports culture. Instead. under that banner. :t funds the building trade. Any plan inyolvuig a multi million pound refurbishment is most welcome. Culture is troublesome to support. explained the town chief to the brick wall. Why would anyone want to stimulate the minds and hearts of the Scottish? What is the pornt of feeding people with ideas? This will only Increase their health and intelligence. causing then: to challenge the status (too which we prefer static.
Let me explain what is going on. The biggest coritempor‘ar’y art venue in Scotland is being closed down. Scottish Ballet has proposed an S‘8rn development to turn it into a workshop for stage production. In other v-Jords. dear Scotland. that historical monument. the Tramway. ancient Transport Museum of the Southside. where fleets of folk once gueued round the block to file past a piece of moon rock. Where Douglas Gordon's 24hr Psycho slowed us all down even further. And where Peter Brooks' Mahabharata woke us tip and got us itching for cross cultural education. Ah. it's all going PRIVATE: t ocked doors for skinny dancers and their woor|\.'\.rorking buddies.

Instead. we are about to have one very expensive. closed. woodshop.
