How do you produce a sure Broadway flop? 
US
American Graffiti
“No sociological treatise could duplicate the movie’s success in remembering exactly how it was to be alive at that cultural instant.”
Roger Egbert
Jason Brown – Tristan and Isolde
The Beach Boys – Sloop John B
The Beach Boys is one of the groups in the sound track of American Graffiti. They were quite popular in the 60’s, but I never really listened to them. (I was more into Beatles and Stones.) After reviewing American Graffiti, I went to YouTube just for fun to listen to something else with them. I must say that they were not bad at all!

Lord of the Rings-triology
Gandalf: Always remember, Frodo, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found.
The Constant Gardener
“I can tell you this, as my journey through the pharmaceutical jungle progressed, I came to realize that, by comparison with the reality, my story was as tame as a holiday postcard”
John le Carré
Watercolours by Winslow Homer
-
- Salt Kettle, Bermuda, 1899
-
- The coming storm, 1901
I can’t say that I have earlier been touched by the American artist Winslow Homer’s paintings, but then I came across these water colours, and I thought they were exquisite!
They are on display at the National Gallery of Art, Washington
Mulholland Drive
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre
This is beautiful!
Sissel Kyrkjebø, Warren G – Prince Igor
Another example of a beautiful meeting between different cultures. The Norwegian soprano Sissel Kyrkjebø sings togeteher with American rapper Warren G in this number from the album The Rapsody Overture (1998) . Warren G. raps his song Reality, while Sissel Kyrkjebø sings the Russian refrain from Alexandr Borodin’s opera Prince Igor.
Exciting!
