Slog - Comments on An Insane, Wonderful Hero http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/an_insane_wonderful_hero When Kim Jones first began performing Mudman, he was a young man in Los Angeles emerging from two worlds: art school, and, before that, a tour in Vietnam. (Once a Marine, always a Marine, as he says in a generous podcast in which he recites his service number.) In photographs from the time, around 1974, he is sexual, superpowered, muscular as a machine—not tall, but compact, with his face masked. He's an animal.

I practically grew up in MOMA. I was at the Henry and loved Mudman. It was erudite, and provocative.

I hate how stupid the racist Christian locals are in Seattle!
