?" I have included only works of art for which there is a published reproduction (plus some that are in the Visual Collection, Fine Arts Library, Harvard University and a few in the Bild-Archiv Photo Marburg). The purpose of this iconography is to answer the question "Where can I find an illustration of. I am quit capable of looking at page 257 and writing down 277, and I seem to have difficulty telling right from left. I am singularly error-prone, alas, and I am sure that there are numerous mistakes in this list. However, I would appreciate corrections - wrong page references, for example. It is very much a work in progress, but if I waited until everything was perfect, it would never appear. This list is just what happens to be lying about the house. I didn't set out to compile a bibliography - or, more properly, an iconography. I have much more information for these and for additional entries which will be added as I get around to it. The entries published here are only the ones for which I have somewhat respectable bibliographic entries at this time. "Looking back on it, I can see how off-the-scale inappropriate that would be," he said.Bagpipe - 16th/17th Century Musical Instruments in Western European ArtĪn Iconography of the Bagpipe - 16th/17th Century It's a lesson he now rejects wholeheartedly. If you wear a kilt, you just have to suck it up, and that's what happens.'" "My mom and dad would just say, 'OK, you know, that's just one of these things, son. He remembers bringing his concerns to his parents at the time. There's a 12-year-old boy playing his instrument and you think it's OK." "If you think about that, how appalling that is, you're crossing so many barriers there. But even then, if I was playing in a pipe band in an entertainment venue, then you would have women put their hand up your kilt," he said. It's changed remarkably and I think for the better. "I know the culture has changed since the 1970s. "Nobody - and I mean nobody - would think there's anything wrong with that at all because it's basically a woman on a man, and that's funny, so why would you really get that upset about it?" Started when he was a boyĪrmstrong has been playing the bagpipe since he was 12, and says the bad behaviour started pretty much right away. "I guarantee at least twice a night, if you're doing that, you'd get a hand up the back of your kilt while you're trying to play your instrument," he said. The band used to wander down the aisles playing their instruments as part of their performances, he said, but he's had to give that up. He's even considering leaving the kilt at home for good.
(Red Hot Chili Pipers)Īrmstrong has had to make some changes to how he performs to protect himself, he said, including sporting a pair of bicycle shorts under his kilt.
The Red Hot Chili Pipers are a Celtic rock band from Scotland. "What do I do? Stop playing the pipes and ruin the musical performance for the rest of the audience who seem to be enjoying it, so I can deal with this woman who thinks it's funny that she's got a hand up the back of my kilt or the front of my kilt?"

Performing at a real music venue with security staff offers some protection, he said. He says he's even had women "come on stage and crawl on their backs" to get a better look up his kilt. Over the course of his career, Armstrong says he's been touched, photographed and peppered with inappropriate questions about what he's wearing under his kilt. The reason I'm doing this is if I bring this to everybody's attention, then surely that should benefit both sexes, because it's not acceptable if it happens to a man and it's certainly not acceptable if it happens to a woman." Booze-soaked corporate events "And so I always thought, hold on just now, why is it funny if that happens to a man, and it's absolutely appalling if it happens to women?" he said. But he is very adamant that touching him under his kilt without his consent is sexual assault, plain and simple.Īnd the photos people take, he says, are a clear violation of Scotland's 2009 law against "upskirting," the practice of snapping surreptitious photos under someone's dress or skirt.
