...more logical explanation is a wish to commemorate the late R&B singer’s body of work. Aaliyah had a beautiful voice, as any sane person, or ex-husband R. Kelly, could tell you. But no one would argue that she was a particularly significant or innovative artist of her time. Her songs were no more extraordinary than those of any number of inspirational, vocally gifted artists working in the genre at the time. Though Elliott likely realizes this on some level, she may have a stronger impression of Aaliyah’s potential than the average listener...
...father, an artist with a keen aesthetic sense, was adamant that his dream home purchase be no multi-gabled McMansion. In fact, anything built within the last century would not suffice, and I’ve always lived in good-natured old houses, full of the creaks, drafty windows and unexpected quirks.

Told that Lewis believes he needs just one radio hit to establish him in the public's mind as a major artist (Lewis cites Neil Young's Old Man as an example of such a breakthrough), Adams snaps to attention. "The other day I was reading this article about Beck," he says. "He's tremendous. But he's been on this tour where he's playing his new record, and still, pretty much the last song he has to play...
...only artist to be exhibited in three different media is Franz von Stuck, whose noteworthy contributions in printmaking and painting methods are supplemented with the exhibit’s only sculpture. Titled Amazon, its smooth, dark silhouette outlines a muscular woman atop a wide-eyed horse’s back, her left hand gripping the horse’s mane while her other hand is positioned to fling a pointy spear. The moment is one of everlasting tension, freezing the Amazon’s attack at the brink of its culmination...
