7548. arkymalarky - 4/24/2004 12:26:19 AM Britney Spears is just gross to me, but I'll tell you someone who I think has grown musically and is using a stupendous voice much better, and that's Christina Aguilera (sp). 7549. judithathome - 4/24/2004 1:00:34 AM Her voice is great but her look leaves a lot to be desired. These girls don't seem to realize that sexy doesn't automatically mean sleazy. 7550. PelleNilsson - 4/24/2004 3:53:47 AM Kuligin:
 7551. Macnas - 4/25/2004 4:37:09 PM Y'all are never going to get question "A", as not only would you have to have read the book, which I'm sure many have, but you'd also have to have remembered a fair bit of it, which I'm sure many do not. After all, as somebody once said "A man may no more remember everything he has read than carry with him everything he has ever eaten,"
The answer to "A" is Catcher in The Rye. The connection is that all the books/plays I mentioned in the the question (and more) are mentioned in it. 7552. Macnas - 4/25/2004 4:43:54 PM re 7545
I don't really care what Nelly or whoever does wrt videos or song content, but some videos in particular are, as pointed out, pretty explicit.
So much so that my daughter is not allowed to watch any MTV or the like, (not that they play much music anymore....) she might see some music on the daytime television that she watches, but someone somewhere (on our national television network)is sensible enough to make sure that non-explicit videos are only shown during what you might call "childrens television" time. 7553.

 7554. arkymalarky - 4/28/2004 10:27:54 AM Hey! I never realized that woman was also in American Gothic! I see it now--the perfect match! ;-) 7555. wabbit - 5/5/2004 9:22:38 PM 
Auction history was made at Sotheby's this evening when Pablo Picasso's Garçon à la Pipe, from the fabled Whitney Collection, sold for $104,168,000 to an anonymous buyer, making it the most expensive painting in the world...The work exceeded the previous record of $82.5 million set in May 1990 by Vincent van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet. In addition to a record set by Picasso, auction records were also established for William Blake, Raoul Dufy, Sir Alfred J. Munnings and Frédéric Bazille.
Nice to have money.

 7557. Macnas - 5/6/2004 12:19:43 AM Well worth the money....for fucks sake. 7558. judithathome - 5/26/2004 11:35:09 PM For those of you who live in New York City, there will be a chance to see my sculptor friend's work...one piece...in the National Society of Bronze Sculptors show. He was chosen as one of thirty-six exhibitors from a pool of 900 to have his work in the show.
Don't know the dates yet or the venue but I will keep you posted. 7559. judithathome - 5/31/2004 1:54:45 AM I got the name wrong in the above post but here is the information on my friend's accomplishment:
Fort Worth artist Deran Wright’s sculpture ‘The Minotaur’, has been selected to appear in the National Sculpture Society’s juried ‘2004 Annual Awards Exhibition’.
The National Sculpture Society is the oldest organization of professional sculptors in the United States. It is master sculptors and architects like Daniel Chester French, Augustus St. Gaudens, Richard Morris Hunt, and Stanford White who founded the NSS in 1893 and have
comprised its active membership since.
197 sculptors submitted 871 slides, of which only 36 were selected for inclusion in the show, which runs from September 13th through December 3rd in New York at the Park Avenue Atrium.
7560. judithathome - 5/31/2004 1:58:03 AM And I also got the number of exhibitors wrong...it was almost 900 pieces not artists. Still, pretty impressive for a hometown guy! 7561. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 5/31/2004 4:33:01 AM Kudos to your friend, Judith. Happy Memeorial Day!
My latest effort: “Shoal With Dunes.”
 7562. Macnas - 5/31/2004 4:39:45 PM Thats good, I know places like that. 7563. judithathome - 5/31/2004 9:58:42 PM Beautiful, beautiful....Wiz, you're a wonder! Just water and pigment...lovely! 7564. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 5/31/2004 11:31:55 PM Thanks Mac & Judith. We're soon off to The Cape for more of the same and my tongue is hangin' for some natural solitude. I'm world-weary and sick of the dailyness.
7565. Absensia - 6/10/2004 4:54:00 AM Ray Charles dead at 73. 7566. judithathome - 6/10/2004 5:08:12 AM I wonder if many will notice...the ALL FUNERAL ALL THE TIME story will likely push it out of the news. 7567. Macnas - 6/10/2004 6:10:15 PM Poor old Ray's passing is over the news here this morning.
But it did mean I got to listen to "Hit the road Jack" on the way to work.
