The racially insensitive art of Red X

Posted by Justin Kendall on Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 1:22 PM

Last night, the Pitch Action News Team assembled to drink free wine and booze at the Red X in Riverside. I didn't expect to learn so much. Now, here's where I lament not taking a picture of the giant sculpture of a naked man or the display case full of replacement teeth and eyeballs. And the girl who brought her own plate with a drink holder so she could hog the free cheese and crackers and repeatedly smash the plate into my back until I let her cut in front of me to get free booze (thanks, lady). I didn't expect to learn so much about art and culture. See, Red X is a classy joint. You can light up a smoke inside ... if you sit on the wings of these eagles.

Let's look at the classy art. I didn't catch the price of these fighting Hells Angels dogs, but I'm guessing I can't afford such classy sculptures.

Classier art needs to be displayed in a locked glass case.

Who wouldn't want to display this in their home?

I had the same gut reaction, but looking more closely the singer appears to be Louis Armstrong and the trumpet player Miles Davis.

I don't think these were intended to offend. Of course, I could be off my eagle-shaped rocker.
