throw theory out the window again



So the history books are wrong again...REALLY! (this keeps happening) -- we think those "plant the flag" conqueror people should have done more research before stating/writing/declaring their early discoveries were fact  -- then giving them a date as fact that they are the oldest of anything ... please stop, OK?!  Those Egyptian pyramids are just a drop in the ol' bucket. Wait until they dig up the Amazon. We just have a tiny bit of the truth--- teeny tiny.

Dick Clark Interviews Scandal - American Bandstand 1982 and 1984





I don't know about you but I never missed Dick Clark's BANDSTAND. In the 80s, I was kinda busy so I missed these shows about SCANDAL and PATTY SMYTHE, who I thought was the best rock singer female in that era... BOOOM

my favorite movie

it's possible this movie might stay #1 on my list: WONDER BOYS (I just watched it again for umpteeth time)

and Dylan wrote the music track THINGS HAVE CHANGED which won an Oscar [In 2000, Bob Dylan released 'Things Have Changed' for the Wonder Boys official soundtrack - watch the official music video of 'Things Have Changed,' which was directed by Academy Award winner Curtis Hanson and won the Academy Award for Best Song from a Motion Picture in 2001.]

Asta

Asta's breakthrough piece was 2011’s “The Printing Dress,” co-created with user experience designer Sheridan Martin Small. The dress explored wearable text and its potential impact on the future of fashion. Built almost entirely of paper, the dress enables the wearer to tweet “thoughts” into the dress and showcase them as public art.  It combines the hand-set typography that Roseway studied at Parsons with the contemporary world of social media.
She recently founded Microsoft’s first ever artist-in-residence program, called studio99. This grassroots effort, driven by employees, invites unconventional thinkers and artists to collaborate with researchers on the next wave of technologies.
