Crushed and confused that I had missed yet another modernist typography exhibit at the MIA, I wondered aimlessly through tight, micro Japanese tea rooms and studied the lines of old Remington and Ibm typewriters before falling upon the Danny Lyons photography exhibit. Not knowing any of his work I paid special attention. His photos of outlaw bikers on huge bikes doing outlaw biker type things in the 60’s are incredible and would have made for a great insert into HST’s Hells Angels. Serendipity took one step further when I was paging through the Jan ’02 issue of Doubletake at my parents house and came across some new Polaroid’s Lyons had developed in his bathtub at a reservation near his home. Damn.

Check the latest issue of DoubleTake for the Car Project. Raceway shots and broken cars.

Speaking of raceways and all things motorized. I was reacquainted yesterday with one of the greatest records ever made and one of the only records ever made by Evel Knievel. If you crate diggers come across this vinyl masterpiece. pay whatever they are asking. The spoken word from The Evel one is worth the price alone. His advice to children — priceless. Thanks b-rizzy for the memories.
