...shouldn't dismiss the new blues cover albums by Eric Clapton and Aerosmith simply because both acts are richer, whiter and scarier to look at than Dick Cheney. Clapton's blues credentials are impeccable. He first played with Sonny Boy Williamson in 1963, and his worship of Delta legends Buddy Guy and B.B. King has been acknowledged over the years by both in their use of him as a producer and collaborator. The spandexed sybarites in Aerosmith have never been much for tradition, which makes their blues obsession more subversive and dynamic. On the surface they churn out big, dumb...
...took itself very seriously, Ikariya's show had few sacred cows, routinely poking fun at everyone from bumbling businessmen to preening celebs. Ikariya played the consummate straight man: stolid, good-natured, never too proud to enjoy a good chuckle at his own expense.

Clapton's blues credentials are impeccable; he first played with Sonny Boy Williamson in 1963, and his worship of Delta legends Buddy Guy and B.B. King has been reciprocated over the years, with both respectfully calling on him as a producer...
...that produced the exhibit, agrees: "I adore Botticelli as an inventor of ideas, but Filippino comes off as the greater painter. We have to change Florence's point of view." Vittorio Sgarbi, an art historian and critic, says that Filippino emerges from the show as "more interesting than Botticelli - richer in doubts, in uncertainties. He's a more modern figure." To simplify the task of comparison, the exhibition displays the paintings thematically. A gallery of exquisite Madonnas includes Botticelli's Madonna Adoring Her Child, from Edinburgh's National Gallery of Scotland, rediscovered only in 1998 and on show...
