It does--the issue is, what's wrong with that? It's pure whimsey, as well as a work that pays overdue tribute to the gritty heritage of the East Bank. It nicely plays off the bridges and the light towers on LP Field, and its very resemblance to an amusement-park ride means that its appearance at the end of Lower Broad [Thanks for the photo, Mike!] adds to the carney character of the streetscape. It's fun, just like a mobile in a baby crib [It's a stabile, after all]. The people who are grousing are people who'll grouse at any public art that doesn't appropriately flatter the self-regard of a group to which they belong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-51843353827589417622007-07-24T17:17:00.000-05:002007-07-24T17:17:00.000-05:00I'm tired of hearing "it looks like a rollercoaste...I'm tired of hearing "it looks like a rollercoaster" almost every day. I wish people would try to perceive something beyond the most simplistic observations. I think it looks great, seemingly at the base of Broadway from 8th Avenue. And I agree, a giant guitar or music note would have been very embarrassing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1841424017616655602007-07-24T14:58:00.000-05:002007-07-24T14:58:00.000-05:00I am just thankful that Nashville is making public...I am just thankful that Nashville is making public art a higher priority. Atlanta has an outdoor sculpture on almost every corner, its quite refreshing.
