I had forgotten how consistently good they were. Every song played in the concerts was a gem. They didn't have the quantity of the Stones (who does?)or the variety of the Beatles but they made up for both in near-perfection quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656595990258704661.post-42091702121729144632009-07-02T21:45:30.895-07:002009-07-02T21:45:30.895-07:00lol.

Even more ironically, I bought it last November from a second hand store in Tempe, while I was down there closing a JC Penney furniture outlet. The back of the canvas has an artist's statement, too. It's a fairly nice rendition, though I do think that VanGogh's was nicer. :-)Paul Cocklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250324633067696303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656595990258704661.post-43248921608377936042009-07-02T21:10:27.970-07:002009-07-02T21:10:27.970-07:00Hi Paul:

I have seen "The Starry Night" several times at MOMA in NYC and I could just sit there for hours looking at it... imagining what Vincent saw when he was painting it.<br /><br />As far as writers and reading... not one of my favorite things. I am almost a completely visual person. Never got into reading and have no time for it at this stage of my life.rcodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801504777409172749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656595990258704661.post-654888224786396412009-07-02T20:42:27.850-07:002009-07-02T20:42:27.850-07:00hmm, I'd have to disagree with greatest artist...hmm, I'd have to disagree with greatest artist- mine would be Rembrandt. His use of direction and intensity of light was second to none imo.<br /><br />Here's one for you, Greatest writer. My choice would probably be Tolkein, not so much for the effort he put into creating an entire world, but for his ability to make his readers get lost in that world.Paul Cocklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250324633067696303noreply@blogger.com
