10 WORST STREET ACTS

[LUCKY DIAMOND RICH]

Chance,
I at the time,of posting the "10 Worst Street acts" was admittedly,doing it to go against Gazzo's "Top 10 pound for pound"!

It was only intended to be a topic that people either agree with or not!

I agree with you and your point about contirdictions,and so for with me!

I do jump the fence,at times and I am guilty of this!

It does take alot of hard work to sort every angle of your life out,and I thank you for making me awair of this!

I try very hard not to be oppionated about other act's,and I am getting better!

The difference is that i can admit that,unlike others!

You are also right that I do find it a personal thing,when people comment on peoples appearenc!

I can only be me,and choose to be a better person on the inside and I am only doing my best!

If that is the best others can do,then who am I to say!

Thanks once again Chance you are the voice of reason on this one!

LDR

ps. thanks also Debbie,you are truely the Shit when it comes to the pavement!!!If I posted the top 10 pavement artists in the world you would be on the top of the list! xx

Hello Chance
No, I don't think we've met, you look familiar though. I know Richie.
Firstly, YES; sorry for butting into a private cconversation, and yes two of my comments were 'off the mark'. My intention was to voice general points and bring the subject back round to the original thread, my comments and the posting in general were not directed solely at you - I didn't begin with your name.
I agree the ' stop banging on about a terrible negative subject' is poorly placed and with hindsight IS misguidedly directed at you. You didn't mention that starting the 'Worst Act' thread was a bad thing - my appologies. I don't know where I got that from, my mistake. I won't be deleting my post (Lucky) , my mistake and I will most certainly live with it.

Point about 'if anyone else had started the thread'; this was definately NOT a reference to 'your' condemnation, but a general devil's advocate query about the fact that threads are responded to differently according to who's posted them and their motives for doing so.

The fact that I've come in lon the tail end of this subject should not be a problem for Lucky. My problem was jumping in rather badly; I regret my timing and oafish comments on the subject mis-directed at you Chance, for this I appologise. I don't regret being devils advocate and 'baiting' Lucky into a response..... he does it all the time.

Off now to reply to Monsieur Lucky.
Maybe I'll meet you someday,
Debbie.

Chance once said to me that " opinions are like arseholes we all have one and they all stink."
I feel this is an appropriate time to quote from the sauce!
"worst" is obviously a highly personal and stinky opinion!
Most art provokes a reaction. That is its point.

[DEBBIE ROBINSON]

Hello Lucky,
Your insult is amusing....toooooshay.

See... you returned to the subject with justifications for this thread.... Lets see:
'To go against Gazzo's Top 10 pound for pound" and "a
topic that people either agree with or not",
And neither washes with me.
You suggested this thread. You may get uncomfortably 'late' queries about it - tough! You should be well prepared and expect to return to it.
I'm glad to see you followed on with a whole load of other statements though .... Amazing what can come out of a little role reversing, prompting, playing the game - eh Lucky?
SINCERE good luck on your road to staying positive.

So, Lucky, I am on the top of your list as 'worst pavement artist'?
Heh heh, bloody marvellous!
I didn't realise you took an interest in other forms of street entertainment?
Name me 10 pavement artists, describe their style and what they're about.
Like you know you have skills Lucky, I'm comfortable with my drawing skills. (xx)

Funnily enough your show is not on my list at all. Ok, ( you'll probably agree with me on this) there's absolutely nothing original about it so I may put it on say, the Top 10 un-original show list, but for punter watchability factor - yeah, its up there.

What other lists can I put you on......
Your tatoo's are remarkable! The multi-layering is fantastic, and they can go on my 'top10 best body modification list'. Um...
Can't think of anything else positive at the minute. I think, (and backdating this to the 80's) I'd have to put you on my 'worst attitude towards smaller shows, weaker shows, street artists who perform inspite of earning potential, and promoter of negative vibes' list, unless you can convince me otherwise. Sorry.

I'm no clearer to working out how posting the 'Worst Street Acts' thread sits happily with a new found happy go lucky, harmonious
personality ......You must admit you did yourself no favours.

Top 10 Worst Acts - legitimate thread - shame 'you' posted it.

I think my act is one of the worst. I suck! but hey, at least I'm not as bad as that jerk (roderick, aka rod-dick) who spins a ball and rides a unicycle in jackson square. I'm getting better, he's going no where.

[LUCKY DIAMOND RICH]

The time where the kids arm was sweaty and I ended up throwing him horizontally 3 meters into the street.
The time I pushed an icecream into a teenage girls forehead
The time in paris a german tourist came up after and sincerely inquired as to whether I'd considered juggling.
The time the streetkids filled my hat up with pebbles in cork.
The time the 12 year old brainless twat flashed me his revolver in Antwerp.
The time I fell over in a fountain in hamilton
The time i danced into an overhead fan, slashing my face, bleeding profusely and making audience members faint.
The time I got arrested in paris performing on the 'avenue de innocence'
The time I vomited fresh orange juice onto a japanese audience while dancing ballet to mozart on stilts.
My whole career theres only been nine.

[martin ewen]

I also recognise that for the most part its not all about me.
Perspective confuses me

Go Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Martin,

If you would, could you re-post that story of the orange-juice-vomit- spurting-in Japan story again. For those who are new and havent had the pleasure of reading it through tears of laughter.

Onward
Todd

[Chance]

Todd, et al,

I am pretty sure that story is in the library, along with a few other Martin Classics...
