good u put the focus on him for 1nce, he did actually play a HUGE role in the makin of the GRACE JONES we refer to today. I e the video for Slave To The Rythm was totally pioneering in that field and Goude is very very interessting for his work in the field in between art AND advertising etc.... Im actually writing a piece on the fact that even the swedish daily paper DN (read m a i n s t r e a m) today are publishing an article on G J as an fashion icon for 2008...speculating a bit on how this did happen...
