Some actually impressive Dylan Covers

These covers by Antony and the Johnsons of Bob Dylan are pretty awesome, and they might even rival Robin Pecknold’s (White Antelope, Fleet Foxes).

Check it out “I was Young when I Left Home”

Check out Woody Allen

I recently watched a couple of Woody Allen’s movies.  Crimes and Misdemeanors and Annie Hall.  They’re quite good.  If you like the Cohen Brothers movies, then I imagine that you would also like Woody Allen’s movies.

As Aeschylus says, “I speak to those who know” when I say that it was a great issue of the Pequod (check your mailbox already!).

New Great Hearts Videos

Dear Friends,

As most of you know, I teach Studio Art out in the Phoenix desert.  The school I teach at is one of many charter schools in the network of schools called “Great Hearts Academies.”  This year is going really well at my school and there are some great things happening there and in our network of schools.  Next year there will be four more academies opening up (two regular 6-12 and two “Archway Classical Schools” which are K-5).

I have embedded three new videos that provide clear insight into the culture, curriculum, and purpose of the Great Hearts Academies.  The three videos are titled “An Educational Revolution,” “The Wisdom of the Ages,” and “The Great Hearted Student.”  Enjoy.
