Good article on Keith Haring

I enjoyed that Keith. I could so easily live in a world filled only with writers and artists. [We'd send all the politicians to work in the fields, the good ones we'd let be barista's.]
Nice idea but unfortunately, it won't work. Even if you took the best artists and writers on a space trip to a new world meant only for writers and artists, they'd soon have non-artist, non-writer kids. And then they'd have to kick them out, which, mark my words, would cause a ruckus. So it's back to the drawing board.
That's not exactly what I meant but OK, the drawing board is a good place to be. Happy weekend.
I would love to see that exhibit. When I was at Long Island Jewish hospital a while back I was amazed to see Keith Haring murals on the walls and a commissioned sculpture outside the entrance. I also remember seeing his drawings on the sidewalks and subways in manhattan. Walking through the streets of Manhattan on the way to clubs I would find a drawing on the sidewalk. Amazing.
Hey, C. Yeah, I remember coming upon Haring's work on my way to work in the morning. The subway stop by my house was one of his regular haunts. And now that you mention it, I recall the sidewalk art too. Everything he did was magical. Go to the show!
