DIANE ARBUS KNEW HER STUFF...

Child with Toy Hand Grenade (NYC) 1962

Almost forty years before the World Trade Center Tragedy in New York. She predicted (in her art) where America was headed. Nobody listened...

THROWBACK THURSDAY: MACARTHUR PARK

I never really cared for disco music, but Donna Summer had a sublime voice that was impossible to ignore. She's no longer with us, but her music lives on.

Interesting fact: She did not live very far from the World Trade Center when that tragedy took place. She ended up with cancer, and believed all the fallout dust was the cause of her terminal illness. If  this is true, then we can add another person to the list of people that lost their lives to the single most horrible event which took place during my lifetime.

Rest in peace, sweet lady.
