I'm trying to engage the notion of what a "chill" would be like in New Iberia, Louisiana, here -- from quite a few degrees' worth of latitude north, just short of midnight after a return home in the worst of driving scenarios for an old guy whose night vision is failing, pitch dark, heavy sleet, the defroster can't keep up with it, the oncoming and following headlights (many on hi-beam), striations of light bouncing around in the car, heavy snow on the way, and a disappointed voter on the talk-radio show, someone who can't even remember who was running, after too many neat Beams, just before I switch to slightly less bitter programming involving either comedy or classicism, or refreshingly, the BBC.
Robert Genn's note today was fun. It's sometimes interesting to listen as a fly on the wall to observations from outside the country. Because those observations are often negative, I didn't always enjoy them during the many years I've lived overseas, but they were instructive. Genn's letter mentions a lot of art-related news that I suspect most artists don't know a lot about.
