Miller in particular... «Our Band Could Be Your Life»
AntonDoppelganger10 февраля 2015Miller in particular expressed his disdain for the ordinary with his zest for the Dada movement, whose downright aggressive absurdism was also an attack on the complacency of its day (not to mention a key tributary of punk rock). Even Miller’s lyrics, often alienated ruminations, seemed less like personal commentary than metaphors for an aversion to the mundane. With song titles like “Max Ernst” and the Magritte-like “This Is Not a Photograph,” Miller’s lyrics reflected what was in the air around college campuses at the time, when surrealism and dadaism were very much in vogue and even band posters tended toward kitschy dadaesque collage. The band’s love of spontaneity even ran to their set list—they never used one.
