POPSThe Last Supper??? Stumbled Upon this blog site and loved the reworking of Da Vinci's Magnum Opus. No disrespect to anyone but look at it in the light of Pop Culture as many of the various artists did. Da Vinci (and other Artists of the Renaissance) were painting the Pop Culture of their day when there was an Inquisition or three going on, the Protestant Reformation, the Age of Exploration and the Enlightenment... OK, Popeye is no Christ but it is interesting, n'est ce pas?

POPSBirmingham Builds Bridge to 12th Century In keeping with the image of the regressive South the Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama decided that the best way to fight a rising crime rate was to don biblical costumes and ask his invisible friend for help. Is it any wonder the rest of the nation views the South with scorn and ridicule? I live in the South and I hold that sad view too. But I do like the climate!

POPSJacques Brel - Le Dernier Repas last verse last meal: Après mon dernier repas Je veux que l'on m'installe Assis seul comme un roi Accueillant ses vestales. Dans ma pipe je brûlerai Mes souvenirs d'enfance Mes rêves inachevés Mes restes d'espérance .. Et je ne garderai Pour habiller mon âme Que l'idée d'un rosier Et qu'un prénom de femme ...

POPSSorry to what?jesus
Why is the respected Tempo apologizing over a misguided complaint? Catholics apparently took umbrage with Tempo's latest cover, which depicted Suharto and his children in a scene reminiscent of The last Supper by Da Vinci. "The painting has a deep meaning for Catholics as it's about the holy journey of Jesus and his disciples, but Tempo has disrespected it by replacing the holy persons with the corrupt Soeharto's family," Catholic Students Alumni Forum head Hermawi Taslim told The Jakarta Post. Consider the irony of the statement: An Indonesian Catholic protesting over the mistreatment of a painting by an Italian artist. If history is correct at all the painting has not factual resemblence at all to Christ and his disciples. Christ and Co. were Middle Eastern chaps, swarthy of skin, curly of hair and looks nothing like the Caucasions of Da Vinci's depiction which would be culturally insensitive if painted today.

POPSLeonardo's 'Last Supper' hides true Da Vinci Code A musical score described as a requiem was found by Giovanni Pala, when he drew the five lines of a musical 'Staff' and assigned notes to the hands and the bread. Da Vinci was an accomplished lyre player, and liked puzzles. I can imagine him laughing that it took someone so long to find. Still it would have been obvious to him, and one person's music can be another's noise.
