"Twentieth-century music is like pedophilia. No matter how persuasively and persistently its champions urge their cause, it will never be accepted by the public at large, who will continue to regard it with incomprehension, outrage and repugnance." --Kingsley Amis (1922-1995)

(Or you could amuse yourself reading about performance artist vandalism here. It does make sense that as things in the world escalate in violence, so too does the violence in the world of performance art escalate.)
