Unveiling The Cherry

Cherry-Less Spoon

Before

After

The Walker Art Center is in the process of repainting the
immortal cherry from Claes Oldenburg's Spoonbridge And Cherry.
Currently the Spoon sits alone-naked in the middle of the
sculpture garden, longing for the return of it's cherry.

The cherry removal in February

Sanded & ready for primer

Never and I mean NEVER judge a book by it's cover!

Susan Boyle from Britian's Got Talent TV show

She is 47 years old and admits to "...never being kissed..." and by the reaction of the audience to her initial appearance on the stage of "Britian's Got Talent" television show-everyone was cynical of her talent.

Well doubters be damned! Watch the You-Tube video and discover why one's beauty is not always apparent by appearance. You will smile from ear to ear and don't be surprised if you shed a tear.

Grammys Actually Had Some Worthwhile Moments

Radiohead put on a really stunning live performance
accompanied by the USC Marching Band. Proves
that it's cool to be in a marching band after all.

M.I.A.-who was due to have her baby the day of
the Grammys, was in full force! She worked that
baby bump like no expectant mother before her.
It was one thing for her to actually be there, but
she actually performed with the boys of the rap
elite and damn if she didn't hold her own. That
is gonna be one cool baby!

At only 20 years old (actually she may have just turned 21) British
songstress Adele has one of the most enthralling voices of any
singer around. She has amazing control of her voice and such an
endearing stage presence, reminds me of a young Ella Fitzgerald who
started out in her teens. Plus, how adorable was she when she
accepted her Grammys?! Can I just say "Chasing Pavements" is
one of my favorite songs from last year-puts a tear in my eye
every time I hear it.

The Greatest Frontman Of All Time Takes His Leave

Lux Interior (aka Erick Lee Purkhiser)
1946 - 2009


In 1973 Lux and his future wife Poison Ivy (aka Kristy Wallace) formed
what would become one of the most influential punk rock bands of
all time-The Cramps. They became renowned for their out of control live
shows and Lux led the way with his no-holds-barred stage presence.
I had the great privilege to see them live at the renowned Minneapolis club
First Avenue on several occasions and each time made sure
to be front and center to witness first hand the power of his live performance.
He always put on an amazing show with intense and powerful vocals,
over the top theatrics and every damn time ending it barely clothed
lying in a giant pool of sweat. There was nothing more thrilling than having
Lux hovering directly over you singing at the top of his lungs,
dripping sweat down on you. The moment he hit the stage
he always had the entire audience in his hands and he chewed us up
good and then spit us all out in a big sweaty blob at the end.
Music has lost a punk legend that can never be equaled!

Lux passed quietly on February 4th of a pre-existing heart condition.

Hallelujah! YES HE IS! Our 44th President Of The United States Of America!
