...almost seems like Justin Timberlake drew influence for his now-infamous “Saturday Night Live” skit from a piece currently at the Busch-Reisinger museum.Entitled “Finger Box,” the work is featured in the museum’s new exhibit, “Multiple Strategies: Beuys, Maciunas, Fluxus,” which opened Feb. 24. “Finger Box,” by the artist Ay-O, is simply a cardboard box instructing the viewer to insert his or her finger into a hole in order to discover what hidden...

This was not lost on Streisand’s New York audience. Everyone knows that Dubya is not that bright, and any skit over 30 seconds long merely belabors the point. As Streisand’s lackluster satire went forward, order collapsed faster than Air America’s ratings. One audience member began to heckle Streisand and her Bush lookalike, setting off a major showdown with the Brooklyn-born diva. Not to be upstaged by someone offstage, Streisand decided to meet chutzpah with chutzpah...
