...interesting that you talk about showmanship. You talk about how you're well versed in musical theater and you have so many musical numbers on Family Guy. Is the idea of showmanship an important underpinning of your type of humor? Yeah, I think so. There's an element of showmanship in old television at its best that's been lost today. Where you really see it in the most emblematic sense is with the absence of of opening titles. They don't do it anymore. Certainly in Family Guy and American Dad, we actually had to fight to have...
...that type of confidence that serves as our light in the climatic darkness, living proof that hope hasn't vanished. You need that comfort when you're standing on a rocky hilltop in Greenland, watching the ice disappear. As Jakobshavn gives way to the fjord, a stadium-size iceberg suddenly implodes, disintegrating like a collapsing skyscraper. I watch as a plume of mist fills the air where the iceberg once was, while the fjord churns on. And then I wonder, Just how much time do Greenland and the rest of us have before it's too late?

Casual observers will point to an apparent tautological problem with the type of music and type of patron that is to be found in a place like Twisted Village: worthwhile music has already found a listening audience, and the unexplored is ignored for good reason. The more adventurous of us know better, and one of the best examples of deep-underground musical phenomena...
...commonly used for these works appropriately channels their power. It is fitting that Wein is best known for the Libby Dam, the largest granite relief in America. However, the overabundance of sculptures and drawings that convey Wein’s obsession with the highly stylized human body means this type of representation gets old fast. In contrast, works such as “First Steps,” an abstract piece that only at second glance (and with an explanation) shows a woman guiding a child, are malleable and soft, comprised of one continuous shape with infinite contours. The titles...
