The Answers: “Margaret Flies”/
“Creative Art” at Bar Pink

More Answers for the 21st century: Videotaped at Bar Pink July 31, 2010, at the Che Underground Rock-‘n’-Roll Weekend, “Margaret Flies” and “Creative Art” represent two eras of this incredibly prolific band.

“Margaret Flies” was a highlight of the band I first encountered in spring 1983; Jerry Cornelius’ lyrics, set to music by Jeff Lucas, still take my breath away after all these years. Meanwhile, guitarist/vocalist Dave Fleminger describes the return of “Creative Art” to the Answers set list:


“It was a total blast to have Lou Damian join us on ‘Creative Art,’ ” Dave writes. “He captured the spirit of the song perfectly. That one hasn’t been performed since 1983, it’s clearly been waiting all this time for sax to be added to the mix. … Next time ’round, we’ll extend the solo section more; the usual Answers instinct is to keep all songs under 3 minutes … sometimes under 2 minutes … ”

Besides Mr. Fleminger, the Answers feature Tony Suarez on bass and David Anderson on drums. The video was shot by Paul Allen and Dave Fleminger (on tripod) and edited to audio by Dave.
