POPSRacial Evolution of Porgy and Bess
Gershwin’s play Porgy and Bess, inadvertently highlights the tensions between the races through the decades. This article chronicles how this genius work of art affected American society during its journey to the ultimate goal of “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”. Now that America has succeeded in its struggle to finally cross the barrier of racial divide (once called equal but separate) and elect an African American as its top executive and commander in chief, a look back at this poignant and beautiful work seems apropos. The music in this opera will forever be remembered and embraced by any who possess the almost magical ability to empathize with other creatures of existence. Once heard you'll never forget songs like, IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/george_gershwin/it_aint_necessarily_so.html and SUMMERTIME http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/george_gershwin/summertime.html Thanks to http://delanceyplace.blogspot.com/ for bringing this to my attention.

POPSThe babushkas who guard the art in Russian museums Wonderful photo essay. (But why, oh why do photographers insist on setting up their galleries to be side-scrolling? My keyboard has a "page up" and a "page down" key, not a "page sideways to the right" or "page sideways to the left" key. Arrgh.)

POPSLibrophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries Everyone has some kind of place that makes them feel transported to a magical realm. For some people it’s castles with their noble history and crumbling towers. For others it’s abandoned factories, ivy choked, a sense of foreboding around every corner. For us here at Curious Expeditions, there has always been something about libraries. Row after row, shelf after shelf, there is nothing more magical than a beautiful old library.

POPSMaybe It WAS Over When The Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor Noting the date, Dec. 7, which marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Wright instead chose to focus on the thousands of Japanese civilians who died four years later when the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. (After church officials turn away reporters, former pastor blasts the media in his sermon) By Manya A. Brachear | Tribune reporter December 8, 2008 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-wright-08-dec08,0,6598372.story Forget the fact that the Obamas listened to this clown. The exigencies of national politics have rescued them from Wright's silliness. What about all the other people who still do? Was it not the Trib's obligation to point out that they are paying close attention to an idiot? You know, for their own good.

POPSArt on Wheels: The Magnificent Truck Art of Pakistan Beautiful, ornate artwork moving about the roads of Pakistan. "Jamal Elias breaks down the motifs for truck art into the following 5 categories: 1. Idealized elements of personal and communal life. 2. Elements of political and national life. 3. Talismans, trinkets, and clothing. 4. Talismans or religious symbols. 5. Obvious religious symbols and images." "Unlike vanity plates and ‘pimp-my-ride’ style modifications, Pakistani truck art is about cultural history and tradition, storytelling, passion, and sometimes playful one-upsmanship.'
