Of Memorial Day, Weather and Unique Vibes

MEMORIAL DAY HAS PASSED.  The big day was fun...but it eased on by.  Today is a quiet Tuesday with odd weather going because of a Tropical Storm near the Georgia coast.  It is cooler now....Our culture has been cleansed again by the weather vibes.

'The Lady From Shanghai'

RITA HAYWORTH AND ORSON WELLES! ......What fabulous souls of the acting sphere!  Watched the engaging film of the mighty 1948,,,,the superb one, 'The Lady From Shanghai.'  This movie is a delight, a visual smorgasboard of so many grand, cinematic layers.  The refined and so brilliant acting styles of Orson Welles and the clever Rita Hatworth are quite remarkable.

Memorial Day Nearing Again

THE MEMORIAL DAY holiday is coming!  What a great day in our culture.  It is grand that we honor all our people.  American culture is a tremendous experience.  A grand concept, indeed.

The Dutch Painter With True Intellectual Power

VINCENT VAN GOGH:  What a fabulous and strong and passionate painter.  This Dutch soul had such a remarkable influence on 20th Century Art.  His bold colors and vivid sweeping esthetic concepts could really engage the enthusiasts of the art realm.  A favorite of the Vav Gogh genre is the wistful painting called 'Sunflowers.' Indeed ths work is overwhelming.

Warhol's Art Represents Huge Power

ANDY WARHOL:  This man had such a feisty and quite unique approach to art.  His Pop Art visions were so very explosive.  It is definitely a truism the poignant art of Andy Warhol is an essence that all of us can enjoy.

VIETNAM....Unique Times For Many Of Us

THAT OTHER WAR:  Many people do not talk about the wild one...the thing called VIETNAM.  I wonder why this is so.  In my mind I believe the strange variables so many of us went through because of Vietnam indeed changed the cultural fabric of this country of ours so much.

A Powerhouse Of The Music World

STEVIE WONDER is way up there in the line of powerful people of our U.S. musical culture. I have been thrilled by his great songs for a really long time.  One of my special favorite songs of his is the lilting and beautiful number entitled  'For Once In My Life.'  The thing is so remarkable.  It can bring tears to one's eyes.
