Article: Easily My Album Of The Year

[PYP]

As we approach the anniversary of 9/11, I am reminded of how devastating that tragedy was and how it made me shun music for a while (I had lived in New York City for most of my life at that point).   It seemed to me that all music was irrelevant in the face of a world that had changed, probably permanently according to my thinking at the time, for the worse (it was clear, for example, that it would lead to demonization of the "other" and war, as but two consequences).

 

When I finally did want to listen again, my first choice was anything by Bill Evans.  That is part of what great art means to me: the ability to reintroduce you to your world and the ability to introduce you to new worlds.

Britney is over 40 - well for me Elizabeth Hurley is sheer bombshell (OT). That is 56? WOW!!!

 

Does she sing too?  I know:  who cares!  

 

Were we talking about an album or something.....?  

 

Do you feel like you know her personally?  Was just reading about "parasocial relationships."
