New movie about Bonhoeffer (which i haven't seen
yet). Timely. Reminder to all of us: when this devout Christian pacifist
learned the true nature of the Nazi government, he joined the
plot against Hitler.

The other morning on the radio they were doing a story on
"songpoems" i.e. those companies that would record your
lyrics using a house band, for a fee, & claim to be able to
make you a star if you give them "seed money". I didn't get
to hear if they ever covered John Trubee (they probably didn't),
but here's one of the great underground art stories of the
80's: "Blind Man's Penis".

If Kisha Kurokawa isn't the Buckminster Fuller of Japan, i
don't know who is. He wants to combine the best of traditional
Japanese aesthetics with modern technology; & if there are any
humans left on this planet in 300 years, that's how they'll be
building...
