My Dream is to erect a statue of Bob down on Wall Street where the Merrill Lynch Bull now stands. I used to live and work in that neighborhood for a number of years. As a sculptor I recognize that the Bull is a nasty piece-of-shit sculpt. It captures the pasty, doughy moron that is Wall Street, The Government, The Security and Exchange Commision, and the Federal Reserve.
I want the statueto be erected on a giant pedestal where the bull is. It should be 30 to 40 feet with pedestal. It should be polychromed (painted as you see it.)
...And then, after 60 or 90 days of glory, tourist photos, etc., We pull it down and beat it with shoes. After all, we Americans can't stand horrible people like Bob. He's Smug, Self-Important, Arguably Crooked, Greedy,(interested in accumulating wealth, for sure) And now a loser of such large proportion that tax-payers were made to bail him out or face a depression of major magnitude. He's sort of an American Saddam, to be sure.
So please, Pass it on. If Bob Gets Major notice, or somebody sees the merit in a conceptual/perfomance art piece like this, maybe we can "vent our spleen" a little, and keep the focus on real causes of our economic woes.
