...Johnson's generation was born when Texas was still mostly rural and when most people depended on farming or ranching for their livelihood. The state changed during their lifetime, but their sons and daughters--Bush's generation--who generally have left the country for life in the city, cannot admit to themselves that they have cut their connection to the land.

...that Guest would ever admit to such a subversive agenda. He will own up only to "refining" a technique he first employed as the co-writer and one of the stars of This Is Spinal Tap, that perfect satire about a heavy-metal band on the treadmill to oblivion, which is presently enjoying a welcome re-release and a new DVD version.

The curators assert that the traditional, romantic notion of landscape, while extinct, has been subsumed into our technological culture. The contemporary revision of landscape, they admit, requires an increasing distance from a traditional experience of nature, as well as an exploration of old issues such as the natural sublime. Also, modernity's telescopic ability to travel impossible distances, from macroscopic aerial overviews and topographical maps to microscopic cellular diagrams, must inform the modern landscape image...
