Who's Jenny Holzer? What's the scoop?

jenny holzer is an artist who lives in upstate new york and her husband was a professor where i went to college.

the contraversy, i believe, was U2's use of the slogans in "the fly" -- both the video and on tour. the phrases "death is a career move" "religion is a club" "bomb" "pussy" "it could never happen here" and their rapid fire assault on the audience were very similar to some of her work, i believe, and she said something to the effect of "i thought it was something i had done" when she saw the video and the tour. i know there's more to the story, but that's what i can remember off the top of my head.

I don't know about it, but a "pubic" spat is something I definitely regret having missed.

That made me laugh. It could be fun, couldn't it?
