Robyn O'Neil

A long year or so ago, on a bright day in New York City, I took a train to the Folk Art Museum to see the Henry Darger exhibit. His work was nice to look at in a "cool back story" kind of way, but the real eye poppers were the massive graphite drawings by Robyn O'Neil. The one above is a section of a piece named "As Ye the sinister / Creep and feign / Those once held / Become those now slain."More Robyn O'NeilMP3: Loudon Wainwright III - Glad To See You've Got Religion

Everyday last August I'd wake up, play Side A of Loudon Wainwright's A Live One, and quietly watch 30 Chinese men practice martial arts on the overgrown basketball court outside of our apartment . The whole scene put me in a total trance. A princess friend of mine once called Loudon Waiwnright "Raffi for adults," but I don't buy that back handed compliment."Cyclones and typhoons and tornadoes tooBaby, they should name a hurricane after you"MP3: Loudon Wainwright III - Natural DisasterMP3: Loudon Wainwright III - Kings and Queens
