And Now For A Nice Thread About All Things Pleasant...

[Town Heretic]

I like Simon and Garfunkel

I was more of a fan after the split, but The Boxer is a great song.

Eagles,

Hotel California was the capstone and the only one I really took a shine to.

Chicago.

Early stuff, before Peter got involved.

they are my favorite bands.

A person could do a lot worse. :thumb:

Their gaiter playing part is the best of that song..

Peter is a great singer.

My choice is the best

And Simon and Garfunkel did not do drugs.

they are moral entertainers.

It's just too bad that Eagles and Chicago were druggies. But I understand Peter stayed away from drugs.

Is there music thread?

Yes, here:

Yes, here:

thank you Anna

I think Simon is a great composer.

It's hard to find a modern song writer to match his depth of catalog and creative longevity.

Their gaiter playing part is the best of that song..

Oh, I meant the entire album. I was fondest of Pretty Maids all in a Row and Wasted Time.

Peter is a great singer.

Not his fault. I think their music took on too much of a bubble gum period. Give me their 25 or 6 to 4/Saturday in the Park 70s sound.

I feel the same way about Genesis after Collins became popular.

My choice is the best

Nothing wrong with being a fan.

I loved Steely Dan and have their entire catalog. Fan of early Genesis, late Beatles, early to mid Stones, U2...then I go individuals, like Tom Waits, Wonder, Tom Petty. And all that is behind Puccini who is behind Miles Davis and a few other jazz favorites of mine.

Music.

thank you Anna

You're welcome.

I love those songs too.

Richard Estes: "Jone's Diner".

Something almost disorienting about seeing a painting look so real...

 

[Arthur Brain]

Davis Cone: "Cozy/Rainy Day".

 

[annabenedetti]

I love those.

Pedro Campos also creates hyperrealistic art. I became familiar with him via Huffpo:

Pedro Campos: A Bright and Shining World

These Look Like Photographs But They’re Actually Oil Paintings

The Last Resort, unless you're talking about the album

if so, then The Last Resort

Love that in turn. There's often a hint of the metaphysical in hyper-realism and I think sometimes that's why it can sometimes be a bit disorienting, especially where it comes to inanimate objects as they almost look 'too' real.

Springtime in Balboa Park this afternoon.

 

[Ktoyou]

Most provocative dancing I ever seen.

 

[Eagles Wings]

Enjoying a couple of love birds, the Coopers Hawk. They are flying through the trees and we can see them now before the leaves come. They've come back to the same nest. They are looking for food and one of their favorites is one of my favorite birds, the mourning dove.

Skipping rocks with my family.

Grand daughter is learning and skips once.

Son is former pitcher and skips a dozen+.

What joy did fill my heart!

 

[annabenedetti]

Is this not the coolest thing?

Moscow’s filthy cars are getting a brand new look thanks to opportunistic street artist Nikita Golubev. Using reverse graffiti, a method of creating temporary art by removing dirt from a surface, Golubev etches amazing images of animals and other figures onto the sides of dirty vehicles. These unlikely works of art are part of his latest works in his “Dirty Art” series.
