I had this one saved and finally had a moment to read it. It took going all the way to Puerto Rico! Great to have 2 pairs of eyes to see the performance thru. And those 2 video clips were very much appreciated. I was going to look up the Dick Van Dyke one, it made me so curious to see what an early 60s mainstream comment on absurdity might look like. As for the other…hope I don’t have to wait as long to see it as I did to read this piece.

This was fascinating, and I enjoyed both videos very much. I loved the part in the interview where she suddenly realised that it sounded like she was an alcoholic! The performance you both described so well gave rise to lots of great phrases such as 'What she is saying seems at once meaningful and absurd'. I do value these direct responses to artwork or artists I would not otherwise have access to. Thanks!
