[DeTomaso] Pinko nutjob uses Pantera in 'art'

[Perry Lindsey]

I really want a Datsun 510 as a fun everyday car, but this abysmal mess almost made me yack when I saw it. One of the strongest testaments to "Redneck-nisitude" I have ever seen. Truly sad.

Hi guys,

Earlier today I was tipped off to the fact that a local pinko nutjob had a 
new showing in an art gallery in Oakland, called "Toasting The End Of 
Capitalism".

The East Bay Express, a local newspaper whose editorial leanings make the 
ideologies of Fidel Castro seem like those of Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, had 
this to say about her:

"The Bay Area is fortunate in its wealth of informed dissent (call it San 
Francisco Values; say it loud) — a counterweight to officialdom's
"faith-based 
reality." Maria Gilardin is a respected independent activist writer,
journalist, 
and radio producer who explores ecological and globalization issues on the 
Internet (with free mp3 downloads), on progressive radio, and on CDs. Her web 
site/radio program, Time of Useful Consciousness (TUCRadio.org), takes its name

from aeronautics: "the time between the onset of oxygen deficiency and the

loss of consciousness ... the brief moments in which a pilot may save the
plane." 
She's also an engaged political and satirical artist."

This 'artist' has decided to trash virtually all the values that
Americans 
hold dear.   Once again a quote from "Pravda", oh, wait, I mean the
"East Bay 
Express":

"Her Dadaist/Surrealist montages, scanned and printed as archival giclée 
prints, include "Farm Wrestling," showing a farmer regarding us sadly
as white- 
and blue-collared arms fight for his property; "Tasting Room," in
which a 
gigantic turkey dinner sits on a showroom floor next to Cadillacs (one afire);
and 
"Hard Rain," a scene of eco-apocalypse, with buildings crumbling and
burning, 
and cars falling from a flaming heaven."

But here's the thing.   The car that is falling from a flaming heaven is a 
yellow Pantera!

Here's a photo of this visionary (looking decidedly mannish) with this
work:

It almost looks as though the Pantera is about to crash right into her.

We should be so lucky!

Mike (never more embarrassed to be a native San Franciscan!)
