Episode Summary:
David and Ron are here again this month to use an audio medium to talk about visual art… will it work?
Art sells Pinball machines. There was no better team ever in pinball than the Art Team at Bally. From 1975 until Bally was sold to Midway in 1983, an eclectic, creative, and dedicated team of artists made some of the best art pinball had ever seen.
Come listen to Ron and Dave chat about Dave Christensen, his strange art choices, why it was so cold at Bally in the 1970s, Dave consistently mispronouncing more names, the amazing Paul Faris Bally art team, orbit spinners, and Gene Simmons's package.
