re: BJ... very complex; a giant. re: Malraux... his observation of art is intriguing; I look forward to a time where I can use VR to visit any gallery and view history's remaining works. I ponder the past practice of aspiring artists studying the great works in the galleries of fame and copying them to advance their skills, and wonder if this practice may be lost. I find the musée imaginaire an interesting concept.

Just watched the original Woodstock movie last week on the telly. I don't recall hearing of the racial slurs JB received growing up ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Baez ), only her lovely voice.... I'd like to look into this further.Quote:
Baptism was akin to a concept album, featuring Baez reading and singing poems written by celebrated poets such as James Joyce, Federico García Lorca and Walt Whitman.
