Heathcote Williams – “Advertisement” (featuring Frank Zappa & David Bowie with music by Anthony Braxton Quartet, Birds & Whales) from Taotekid on Vimeo.
« … according to Denis Diderot, the encyclopaedist and one of the principal mentors of the French Revolution, “Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild.” Why? Because it’s a space where you get to ask and to answer the fundamental questions, and this includes querying the social structure in all its aspects. If poetry isn’t revolutionary, it’s nothing. Poetry is heightened language, and language exists to effect change, not to be a tranquilizer. » – Heathcote Williams
