I first saw Jonathan Richman in 1985 at The University of Chicago’s Ida Noyes Hall. Last night, I saw him for the second time at The Bell House in Brooklyn. One big difference: I do not recall audience members in ’85 trying to make horrible recordings on Iphones in search of social media validation, ironic, since Richman famously does not have a cellphone.
I went to the Whitney today for the first time in many years. I especially loved the ink drawings of Ruth Asawa.
Congratulations to the performers/creators from Tisch Drama for their adaption of Ted Chiang’s novella Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom. They did an incredible job of engaging us with deep themes from Kierkegaard to the multiverse.
