lashon hara monger?


I've been following Luke Ford (caution: this site's a rabbit's hole) for a few years, a strange character who defies description. This Article does a great job introducing him, I highly recommend it. Those of us in the art world should know about him, not only for his bad/good coyote-like behavior that is resonant with artists like Martin Kippenberger or entertainers like Andy Kaufman but that, as you will see in this video, about 1:30 into it, Luke Ford is vectoring into the art world at this very moment. Can you imagine what fertile ground our art world(s) would offer to a person of his talents, after he ripped through the porn industry, LA's Jewish community and recently in LA's City Hall?

The best line in the article (written by Dennis Willen for JewishJournal.com):
It was classic Ford, throwing stones at the people who would save him from drowning, which is a tale he tells often about falling off a pier as a child after throwing rocks at his sister and she coming to his rescue.
