Is this whole year of Joaquin Phoenix’ life an act? Do we really care either way? If the ‘documentary’ is entertaining enough it doesn’t really matter. I’m not sure how watching a rich white guy mumbling rap lyrics is really entertainment though! The letterman interview is pretty good…

Another full house for the Andrew Bird show at the Guggenheim. It was spectacular to see all of his amps setup throughout the audience. Unfortunately he didn’t play any of my favorites like “A Nervous Tic Motion of The Head to The Left.” I still love watching him lay down all of the layers to the songs.

Rockefeller Estate http://www.benhider.com/blog/2010/07/kykuit-the-john-d-rockefeller-estate/ http://www.benhider.com/blog/2010/07/kykuit-the-john-d-rockefeller-estate/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:24:00 +0000 admin http://www.benhider.com/blog/?p=2443 I spent the morning at the Rockefeller Estate with an old family friend Richard Nathan and my mum. Apart from it being an absolutely beautiful day to walk around the amazing grounds, there were also some pretty nice works of art tucked away in the basement. On of which was recently brought back to the house from the UN and is a life size tapestry of Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica” which is one of my favorite paintings.

After the not optional guided tour we went to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills which houses a dozen Marc Chagall stained glass windows and Matisse’ final work before he died (seen below).
