Saturday Matinee – How Countries Fight Their Wars; Les Paul with Carol Kaye & Justin Johnson
Awesome [via BlenderGuru email].
Les Paul with Carol Kaye.
Don’t know who she is? You’ve heard her many times before.
Justin Johnson covers ZZ Top‘s “La Grange” with no backup.
Ah, May is here, and in a few more months we’ll be “allowed” to have some of our freedoms back. Perhaps soon we’ll find out who’s been doctoring the statistics to justify their abhorrent destruction of prosperity.
Ah well. Have a great weekend, folks, ignore the scolds and have fun anyway. That’ll really piss ’em off. 😀

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) sarcastically identified common “tricks, dodges, and chicanery” used in debate in 38 Ways to Win an Argument. They’re all underhanded and dishonest, and are prevalent in today’s media.

Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Eyck
The Arnolfini Portrait – Van Eyck
“In early 2004 I was invited to create a new work for an exhibition at an art foundation in Holland. The subject of the exhibition was humor. I decided to depart from the field of new-media experiments, while remaining in the ‘digital’ realm, by having some fun with the great Dutch Masters — Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Eyck. My partner Andrea made all of the costumes and spent a long time crouched underneath a cardboard box while I carefully positioned and photographed her fingers. It was a new experience for me when the show’s curator refused to exhibit the work he had commissioned, even though it was already listed in the catalogue. The explanation he provided was that the photos “weren’t funny”. About a week later I received an even more puzzling request to exhibit the project in a Taiwanese digital art festival.” -Golan Levin
