...Fifteen questions completed, Ryan headed off to the DJ booth, and I stood aside as the magic that is the music of Spin Cycle began...
...Amherst briefly yesterday and stopped by the town center. I stood in admiration of the intellectual life surrounding me--Amherst is Emily Dickinson's hometown and also a famous seat of learning in New England, with the presence of Amherst College, Hampshire College and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, not to mention Smith College down the road in Northampton and Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley.

Nothing since has seemed so electric and shallow, so perfect a mirror of what was happening to the state of America's spirit. The soulfulness of Pollock and the other Abstract Expressionists never stood a chance after Warhol--and no radical art movement has ever been bought up so quickly as Pop was by the public...
