Maybe your next writing should be about the history of censorship?

I find what I know back to Orwell to be frightening as well as intriguing.

I read or heard somewhere that the original title was 1948 about the present state of international affairs- same years cia was formed and television had invaded the vast majority of households….

You seem quite interesting to me so get to work on your new censorship through the ages piece !

Interesting tid bit ( though well researched based on the bib ) on an artist and museum that are both slightly” obscure “ to me .

It IS very sad to see the museum fooled though I’m “thee skeptic “at the British museum questioning EXACTLY the year they stole the Rosetta Stone or the number of thousands of years ago that a piece has been carbon dated to🤷‍♂️😀

Art....more valuable than people.... Ridiculous.

Basquiat just might be the most overrated artist in all recorded history. No talent or skill, no magic, no heft or power in his canvases, zero craft or ability, just cloying glibness.

The glitterati of NYC are always desperate to buy and sell the Next Cool Thing/Person and he was in the right place at the right time (and his being black was just the cherry on top).

I wonder if his team of forgers moonlighted as a kindergarten class ;)

You may have forgotten that we’ve spent plenty of time on the west coast of Florida often combining yankees versus Tampa at the trop combined with days at the beach and at least one visit to an “obscure museum “ 🤷‍♂️. When I said to Matt ( I think he’s a Yankees fan) let’s go Yankees and you responded Tampa rules , I got the impression you were a Floridian and then read your profile!

The truth is out about you and your devil rays 👻👻👻👻
