On the Television
Inspirations, Loose Change September 22nd, 2008Today, I drove home and listened to (and sang along loudly with) Queen’s “Somebody to Love”. Man, that is a great song…and, I gotta tell you, I did just as good a job singing and harmonizing as Freddie and the boys. You believe me, don’t you?
Well, we’ll switch from what was on the radio and move on to what is on the television. Two shows I wanted to tell you about:
1) The Human Camera - This show is playing Wednesday (9/24) at 8 pm on BBC America. It’s all about Stephen Wiltshire, a 33-year old autistic artist who can quickly look at a building and draw it (down to the exact amount of windows and doors) from memory. Amazing. Here is an excerpt:
2) Modern Marvels: Paint - This one runs periodically on the History Channel. I just caught it and taped it last week. It is one incredible hour devoted to paint, that perfect hybrid of art and chemistry. It goes into its history, modern uses (think about it — everything is painted, down to our cell phones) and the future of a little something called “smart” paint. Great info.
Hope these shows prove interesting to you!
