Arts in America

Posted by on July 26 at 14:25 PM

To begin with:

(TALK) As a second grader, my friend Tom had two crushes. One on Eileen McCarthy, his playmate, and another on John Dean, President Nixon’s legal counsel who exposed the Watergate cover-up. Tom met his longtime crush earlier this year when Dean spoke at Town Hall about the Bush administration’s eavesdropping program, and reports that the button-down conservative is still crushworthy. See for yourself as Dean returns to discuss his latest presidential takedown, Conservatives Without Conscience. (Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Ave, 624-6600. 7:30 pm, $5.) JOSH FEIT

Now, let’s get down to business:
A)The new theater in Minneapolis is ugly and sucks.

B) For obvious reasons, this exhibit in St. Petersburg doesn’t suck.

C) This art review in Beirut’s Daily Star doesn’t suck at all.

D) Only one movie in this list doesn’t suck eggs.

Speaking of lists, if I were to die at this very moment and find myself at heaven’s gate, I’d ask Peter, as he opens the tome containing the list of my sins, to skip all of that and just show me the list of songs I listened to the most during my life. I believe these songs would be at the top of that list:


1) “Night Fever”-Bee Gees
2)”Acknowledgement”-John Coltrane
3)”Hanging on a String”-Loose Ends
4)”I Feel Love”-Donna Summers
5)”Clear”-Cybotron
6)”Good Times”-Chic
7)”A Sort of Homecoming”-U2
8)”Jam On It”-Newcleus
9)”Fire Woman”-The Cult
10)”All Blues” -Miles Davis

The Cult? Never would have guessed.

D) Only one movie in this list doesn’t suck eggs.

Though you fail to mention which, Charles, we know all about your secret love of the Little Man.

Another dreamy and poetic post Charles. I hate that new Minneapolis Theatre too, but like you I love The Columbia Center in downtown Seattle. You are the best writer on architecture that Seattle has ever had, a true local treasure.
