This made me smile. Fun time visiting the Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy exhibit at The Shed. An art amusement park from 1987 with rides and attractions from Haring, Basquiat, Hockney, Lichtenstein, Scharf, and others.

Lincoln in the park

Stopped into the Brooklyn Museum during my long walk to get out of the cold. Happened upon the Solid Gold exhibit. Had Dr. Evil’s voice in my head the whole time saying, “I love goooold!”

See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run
Into the arms
Of America

- U2, Bullet the Blue Sky

Lyrics just as relevant today as they were back in 1987.

As a man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America, America
Across the field you see the sky ripped open…5/6

And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
You take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door…4/6

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose in a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred…3/6

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses
See the flames higher and higher…2/6

Hello, Bluesky! This song kept going through my head as I was signing up:

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below…1/6
