Life-Changing Art: Vernon Reid (Living Colour)

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?

First time I saw a real Jackson Pollock in Paris in the early 80's, it literally knocked the wind out of me. It assaulted me and had me riveted to the spot. One of the greatest moments of clarity I've ever had.

Vernon Reid and Living Colour play the Rams Head in Annapolis on September 12th. The band's new disc, The Chair in the Doorway, comes out three days later.
