“So what is to be said at this hour of Apocalypse? Whatever we say, it will be deferred. And we have been given Insignificance in the interim: a vision or version of the Apocalypse that turns out to be far from apocalyptic. It has adopted a different tone. In fact, and this is far from insignificant, it could not be funnier, Or — and it may amount to the same this — further from the truth.”
The ACTRESS: Theresa Russell
The PROFESSOR: Michael Emil
The BALLPLAYER: Gary Busey
The SENATOR: Tony Curtis
The LIFT OPERATOR: Will Sampson
THIS SOUVENIR OF ‘INSIGNIFICANCE’ forms a part of NUMBER NINE in Z.T.T’s timely Action Series. “Where the song takes on time…and takes off.
(“but Orbison’s most fascinating records and chronicles of deep lust and even deeper fear: “Running Scared,” “Love Hurts”, “Only The Lonely” — these titles tell the story. In “Running Scared”, the music builds from a whisper to a scream as Orbison recites an ultimate paranoid fantasy, imagining what might happen if his girl possibly saw someone who might attract he more than him, an anxiety rendered completely ironic because in the end he imagines that she doesn’t…”)
…how life can come to hang on the evidence of one work or glance, on less, on inflection and forgetfulness, the discrepancy of a breath, the difference between “now” and “no”…
“And so we might say coming out of Insignificance, we were only on our way to this exit after all, an end which refuses the end.”
