John Adams And WTPF With Something To Think About (The Bifurcation Of Pop And Art)

I agree with on all his points except the last one. The United States is not the best country to make art; It may very well be the best country for a bourgeoisie artist to make a good living, although at the expense of abandoning a dialectical relationship with history. In my opinion the best art is the finest art that challenges, and transforms the public mind: it transforms our sense of ethos. The best art today is available on the internet, and most of the artists that make it, have to work a day job to make a living. They live in every country on the earth.

Designed By Borges (Alex Itin And Javier Hernandez-Miyares)

happy 21st birthday matilda hernandez-miyares (stomach mural by Keith Greco)

from on .

I awoke from a sleep;
Mad men and fools,
And other long lost pals.

Zoetrope like pictures:
Beethoven, Bach, Brian Wilson,
Like a choir of dumb angels,
And Javier called me.

Designed by Borges

Why don’t you come down to the spot?
Frost…It’s cool.

Silvio Rodriguez Live at Carnegie Hall June 4th (Te Doy Una Cancion)

Silvio Rodriguez Live At Carnegie Hall (June 4th)
Pic by Diana Vargas Trent

Very moving it is to be in an audience, where it is the custom to sing with the master.

Silvio Rodriguez Is the Walt Whitman of the Cuban revolution. His songs are deeply rooted in the humanism which was described by Che Guevara in El Socialismo Y El Hombre En Cuba
Our utopia is still very far away, but its music has always been with us.
It is better to be Brechtian than Manichean.
