[TheForge] role of the fool

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Isn't that what wives are for?
My old friend Dr Tinkerpaw ( RIP) took the role of the fool in Cambria 
when it was a disapproving small town with great social pressure to conform.
He seized freedom of behavior in doing so ( well, he beat up the nosy 
deputy sheriff a couple of times too, admittedly). It gave him room to 
tell all and sundry exactly what he thought, to say the things nobody 
else dared say, to drink an awful lot of beer, to " take care of the 
widder women" , and to be Art doing his art and build his parody of 
Hearst Castle out of junk and found objects.
I find creative freedom in the role of the fool.
Tell your wife me and Art Beal said, it's a good thing!...pf
