notorious leader of an unsavory Lower
East Side anarchist collective called Up
Against the Wall, Motherfucker. As a
young historian who studies that period,
I'd spent almost three years trying to
locate him. All the leads I'd followed
went nowhere. It was as if Brent had
vanished, every bit as thoroughly as a
jet contrail.
Not that this was terribly surprising.
Even in his heyday, Brent cultivated an
air of mystery. In the early 60s, he was
an abstract-expressionist painter who
signaled his lack of compromising
nuances by dressing completely in
black. Later in the decade, he used to
strut around St. Marks Place and
Second Avenue, longhaired and bearded
like any number of hippies, but instead
of adorning himself in flowers and beads,
he wore a leather jacket, carried a
switchblade and peddled manifestos full
of cryptic poetry and angry agitprop. The
Motherfuckers described themselves as
a kind of politicized street gang, but
they were satanists
an A-.
mockumentary "The activist monologues" I
got to be christopher guest but brent got to
be eugene levy. Im working on ideas for the
sequel so stay tuned.
coach pitch baseball together when we
were wee tykes, then he dated my
highschool sweetheart for a while, we
were president of the same community
service club InterAct, and i had the
distinct privilege of introducing him
to UT activist veterans while he was
still a senior in high school, billing
him as "the next up and coming activist
at UT." now hes gay, bossy and smokes
cigarettesa bunch. what happened?
become some kind of sex icon for
austins anarcho-activist contingent?
Is there a chance that this steamy
appeal will carry over to his upcoming
campaign for sg president? It can and
must, but only if we create a 'purdue
for president' erotic calender with a
different sexy pose for each month of
the year. Thats what I call politics!
office wall that says girl power
beneath it. one time brent told me he
was half chinese, half puerto rican so
i would be his friend. i know that
youre pretty confused about things
brent, but if you come help me smash
the prison industrial complex i might
consider being your friend.
brent to the post-structural theory
bloc. maybe cause he looks french...
turn republican in T-10 years. no
leftist/radical has that kind of drive
brave motherfucker!" But pretty
quickly it changed to, "Okay you crazy
motherfucker, what are you doing!?"
