“The Dust Shall Not Be Settled”
A Spoken Word Invocation with Score & Duet Continue reading →

I’m working on the staging for a musical stage review called “Atlantica, Pacifica & Trumpland” and I’ve got the first four musical numbers worked out, plus a little dialogue between, which is in iambic pentameter, the style and structure used famously by William Shakespeare, because I like the rhythm and it’s easier for the actors to memorize.

That “IRS declares you dead” threat from Trump yesterday is one of those Kafka meets Godzilla situations—absurd, dangerous, and somehow bureaucratically airtight. Continue reading →

Ain’t it a bitch? I’m seeing a lot of “goodbye america” speeches by various hosts and guests on TV today. Wondering if there’s something they know that we don’t…???

The real art market isn’t a marketplace, it’s a matchmaking service. You don’t sell art. You introduce it to the one soul it’s been waiting for, and sometimes that soul is late to the party by a decade or two.

You could have a holy grail piece—a Picasso linocut, legit and gorgeous—and if you’re standing in a Rembrandt room, it’s invisible. Not because it’s not great, but because it’s not their language. You’re holding Spanish jazz at a Dutch funeral. Continue reading →
