Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Dylan art show in London

Story here. His pictures kind of pleasantly remind me of 1950s illustrations. Image is his Motel Pool:

you're right--BD --graphics behind movie credits of the era --trying to think of one --'Pink Panther' isn't quite it --maybe one of those 'American in Europe' audrey hepburn-ish films.

Here's a neat thingie --for Norman Rockwell fans --paintings, and the photo-models used for same --

On the Norman Rockwell --look at the number 5 and number six set --remember how that kid at the upper right felt? heh heh.

Methinks Mr. Dylan should stick to songwriting.

he holds a candle to these folks, i think:

he had a lot of color control to do there, or he'd have lost it in a hurry.

Kandinsky was never my favorite, but he was a pro. Dylan's style doesn't have the look of a confident, accomplished painter. It's more tentative and timid - like a beginning painter, and a young one at that. I've taught art in the past, so I have some experience. If anyone pays real money for a Dylan painting, they are doing it for the novelty of it, not because he is a talented painter. Like I said, Dylan should stick to what he knows - music. He is one of the truly great songwriters of our times.
