The Kidney Brothers included in "The Shape of Things to Come...", by Greil Marcus
Robert and Jack Kidney - The Kidney Brothers - performed in David Thomas's stage production "Mirror Man" at UCLA in 2003. Their performance is described and discussed in the last chapter (dedicated to David Thomas) of "The Shape of Things to Come: Prophecy and the American Voice". Greil, America's pop culture historian, was present at the weekend long "Disastodrome!" event at UCLA. In his book, he uses everyone from Lincoln to Thomas as our guides through the country's last uncharted territory, its soul.
