Now let me admit, I know nothing about art. I’m totally ignorant on the topic.

I couldn't believe it when sculptures of a group of frolicking naked men and women showed up in the Music Row area. Is that the Nashville I have known for all of my years?

Can you believe newspapers and television can't even show frontal photographs of it?

Now comes the ghost, or whatever its name, being placed on downtown on the riverfront.

I'm talking about the $330,000 tax-paid structure that's been erected at Riverfront Park that is called art.

It sort of looks like a roller coaster but don't try to ride it. The welded steel hoop doesn't go all the way around.

Now who decided Music City needed it? It was Metro's Art Commission, a 15-member, committee appointed by Mayor Bill Purcell and confirmed by the Council.

"What a waste of taxpayer money," said Channel 4 viewer Don Hyatt. "Funny nobody knew about this scrap iron pile until the money was spent."

Good point.

The ghost was the work of Alice Aycock, a noted New York City sculptor.

This was the initial art created by this city's Art Commission under what's called a public art program.

Public? I certainly didn't approve or vote on it. Did you?

Can't you just imagine country music tourists wondering what it is and what it has got to do with Nashville's main attraction?

For your information, the proper name of it is Ghost Ballet for the East Bank Machineworks. That's way over my head.

Also, just across the Cumberland River on the West Bank is PSC metals, a scrap metal yard. I wonder if there is are any $330,000 sculptures over there?
