On the subway in, somewhere between Times Square and 34th Street, my friend Judy—whose son’s girlfriend Samantha was kind enough to pass her complimentary tickets along to us—asked me what song I particularly wanted to hear at this concert. I replied by saying something like I couldn’t imagine being disappointed no matter what the evening’s playlist looked like. But pressed for a specific title I chose, “Dance Me to the End of Love.” Immediately I heard an unfamiliar voic…

The arts are suffering and the economy is the blame. Without adequate
medical insurance or affordable
temporary insurance, artists are forced to give up their studios and go to work for corporate America. Here in
Tulsa Oklahoma…

Here is an excerpt from his show "Why Theatre Failed America" ::
“And this is a cultural problem. Not an economic one. ‘Cause I talk to people, you know, they always love to say, ‘
Mike… Mike. I feel you man, I feel you, but you have to understand that if we had more money, if we had more money
everything would be different. If we had more money, uh uh uh uh, if this were Sweden, if this were Sweden and the government’s just shitting money into our mouths, we would do everything co…

I'm looking to hunt down an artist I saw at 2009 Sailfest.
There was a booth right outside the Hygenic with a local (I think) guy who had written and illustrated a children's book about a giant squid. They were selling prints of the images from the book - black and white with red squid.
Please help me find him!

"All these sheepheaded bourgeois prigs who endlessly spout words like 'immoral, immorality, immorality in art', or other such idiocies, remind me of that five franc whore Louise Villedieu, who once accompanied me through the Louvre - it was her first visit - only to blush most deeply, veil her face, tug continually at my sleeve, and ask me, before sundry immortal statues and paintings, how it were possible that someone be allowed to put such indecencies on public display?"
-Charles Baudelaire

”Those who love artists seem like fossils. Ours is an epoch of engineers and of manufacturers, not one of artists. The search in modern life is for utility; the endeavor is to improve existence materially. Every day, science invents new processes for the feeding, clothing, or transportation of man; she manufactures cheaply inferior products in order to give adulterated luxuries to the greatest number -- though it is true that she has also made real improvements in all that ministers to our daily…

This is a side road from reviewing independent genre flicks, which the "Madness" will soon continue, but for now I'm driving home a documentary with a catchy title..."inGREEDients"!
Most of us go through life trusting that powers that be and people that we do business with have our best interests at heart. Sure, we do have a good side to our top-of-the-line predatory nature, but that's re…
