 Dada was determined to conquer Berlin, to banish Expressionism from the city limits and to establish itself as an adversary to abstract art. The Berlin Dadaists pasted their slogans throughout the city “Dada kicks you in the behind and you like it!” They wore bizarre theatrical uniforms George Grosz walking the Kurfurstendamm dressed as Death wearing a skull mask, trench coat, gloves, cane, pants and shoes. They took on “revolutionary names”. Huelsenbeck was Weltdada, Meisterdada; Hausmann was Dadasoph; Grosz variously Boff, Dadamarschall or Propagandada, and Gerhard Preiss, who invented the ‘Dada-Trott’and Musik-Dadadada shoes: With Nike and Reebok battling it out for consumer dollars, who here gets down with the DADA brand? I'm in the Illadelph and here, you see a lot of Nikes and Reeboks on the street. I can't see dropping $160 for them. It's funny, how kids be jocking you when you don't wear the "same 'ole, same 'ole". For my money, DADA has some funky style shoes that are comfortable and light. Some of y'all are too young to remember Lotto. Damn, those were my "sneaks" right there. They, like DADA, quietly repped Hip Hop as they too were not the everyday. dada shoes: speakin of life friday on test i got a f fail now it sunday i nigga here bored as hell. now thats the real hard knock life cant yall tell.i hope yall can i wake up wit my tee shirt and draws like cam.no breakest no pancakes its hot and i got no fan. worried about how much them dada shoes cost then i worry tonight bout missin the creeks of daws.(dawsans creeks wb)now im can sit here on aol waitin for the next day son and thats definatly what i call freestlyse for fun. dada shoes: That *is* strange, but I've also had that impression. (I lived in Dallas and caught many Saturday nights at Dada between 1993 and 1996). What's even stranger about them not being deadheads is that the guys can really *play* the music. They are not the Dead, and they don't *copy* the Dead per se, but they have a spirit of improvisation that I always found very interesting and enjoyable. The lead guitarist (Chris?-- the stockier, curly-haired guy who doesn't sing...) is superb. He's not a Jerry clone by any means, but has a great style, and his interpretation of these songs left me awestruck on many, many occasions. Saturday night at Dada is one of the ONLY things I miss about Dallas. Chris "When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes"
