The architect Frank Gehry loses his patience at a press conference. Asked how he felt about people calling his buildings a "spectacle", he stared for a couple of seconds before extending his middle finger. Gehry went on to say that 98 per cent of the world's buildings are "pure sh*t," and that the designers had "no sense of design, no respect for humanity or for anything else."
The 1950s were about The American Jitters: The Day The Earth Stood Still Huntley Brinkley, The Thing, Ed Murrow, The Blob Fidel, Godzilla, Senator Joe McCarthy, Gorgo Who will own the moon, Wild-eyed Nikita pounded his loafers on TV As he promised to bury us, The Cold War ignited on Ike's watch, Jack Kennedy inherited the residue, Alarms shrieked duck and cover, Dad was in the basement, Sandbagging the jam closet, And caching beans and gasoline. We scared ourselves for good And grew up to fear nothing but nothing itself. ---o0o---
