You can count on good, ol’ Robert Crumb to always find something to complain about. Here he takes exception to having his art seen framed on walls, instead of printed in a book.
There was an exhibition of Crumb art in Boston a couple of years ago. I wrote about it here.

Matt Smith, perhaps the best Doctor Who yet, returns.
Forty seconds into the video I was taken by surprise, seeing Lily Cole, who was such a standout with another doctor, in Terry Gilliam’s dazzling, but frustrating and overly long, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. I’m sure those who keep closer watch on Who have known for ages that Cole would be appearing this season, but it’s news to me. Who boy, with Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, that puts two tall redheads on the show at the same time.
The career of Oscar-nominated actress Carey Mulligan was kicked into high gear by a single impressive appearance on Doctor Who. Carey had the featured role in one of the finest and most enjoyable TV shows I have ever seen, playing Sally Sparrow in the unforgettable episode called Blink.

Another act from the enjoyably eclectic “Bob Harris Saturday Night” playlist is Australian C.W. Stoneking.
I hope Bob Harris has another, similarly mixed show coming up on BBC Radio 2. And I’m looking forward to the possibly probable return to Boston radio this spring of one of my favorite DJ’s, Barnes Newberry. A song that Barnes liked to play on his Highway 61 Revisited radio program is this one, by Leonard Cohen.

I first heard this on the old WBCN at least 40 years ago, and only its use of my sister Marianne’s name kept me from fully embracing it. Later, I would mentally substitute another, similar sounding, name and that gave it meaning.
