Another California artist who sees cars as art is Tom Sewell. Sewell's "Picklecar" looks like a cross between a giant cucumber and a stray automobile. Actually "The Picklecar" is a 1950 Studebaker that has been sprayed with polyurethane foam, and painted a loud and ugly shade of green. "The Picklecar" is bizarre to the point of being offensive, and indeed, the Los Angeles Police impounded the car after someone complained about it being parked in front of their house...
...seventeen, playing with Clapton at nineteen, it goes on. Winwood may be the most talented person making music today, his virtuosity on keyboards, bass and guitar makes me think Stills has a lotta gall trying to play those three instruments. Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory is a shade better than Low Spark. It's one of the few albums I can listen to, in its entirety, at one sitting. And what never fails to impress me is how Winwood gets away with those "40,000 Headmen" acid image lyrics this long after flower power...
...seven days a week. Now, the mood at Bien Hoa resembled early New Year's Eve when everyone is waiting for the boring annual office party to begin. Long lines of Marines stood listlessly on the tarmac waiting to board C-130s for transfer home. Huddled in the shade by the sprawling base terminal building was a curious sight-five North Vietnamese P.O.W.s dressed in the maroon pajamas that are standard issue for prisoners. They were left virtually unguarded because all were amputees. Their first destination was a camp at nearby Long Binh. Within 60 days, they presumably will...
...vanity and a flighty inability to cope. Yet Gloria Foster displays little vanity and seems to possess such granitic strength as to have sold the estate and axed the first cherry tree herself. Lopakin, the son of a serf, who buys the Ranevskaya property at auction, is played a shade too unctuously by James Earl Jones, who also lacks the quality of a steely, patient peasant finally coming into his own. Earle Hyman, on the other hand, succeeds as Madame Ra-nevskaya's billiards-obsessed brother Leonid. Hyman's portrayal of world-weary neurasthenia and narcotized memories...
...here, and director of the corporation there. Under this listing is a short account of just what this man does during the year. We find that he follows the sun to Palm Beach during the winter months, follows the sun to Pine Valley during the spring months, follows the shade to Camden, Maine, during the summer months, and follows the tourist guides in Europe during the cool months of autumn, And he always has. Does it pay this man to have his name adorn the divers mastheads of so many different companies? Certainly! He collects five dollars here, one thousand...
