STILL BASKING

 BACK 2 BACK still seems unreal BUT it is real and the glow will last until they are not World Champions....which won't happen until OCT of 2026

ENJOY THE GLOW

Little did I know

 For 35 years I was involved in the wholesale art industry basically supplying art to Furniture and Department stores as well as to catalog houses and Interior Designers.  I went to shows in High Point, Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta and Tupelo.

I had no idea that at those shows there was always an element of HIGH END DESIGN being displayed at various showrooms within shouting distance of the "regular" showrooms.

The knockoff business within the Furniture Industry is not a secret and probably 90 percent of what is made and manufactured is the direct result of someone stealing an idea and then making production pieces so that sales can happen on a large scale.

In the art part of that industry there are original ideas that are mass produced....but to be honest the quality of the work, when mass produced, is done quickly and without much intensity or creativity.

I just watched a video on PAUL EVANS who died in 1987 and designed product for Directional Furniture.  His concepts of mid-century contemporary and brutalist designs were quite different and today those pieces sell at prices that designate the work as unique pieces of Art.

This cabinet sells for around a hundred thousand dollars.....

EVANS

The artists that worked for high-end clientele had very little exposure to the mass market unless their pieces got knocked off and made with inferior materials.

I'm bringing this up because I think that's exactly what has happened to our present political situations.

IT'S A KNOCKOFF

AND

IT

IS

OBVIOUSLY

INFERIOR

We need to replace IT with something that is functional and original and looks beautiful....and appeals to 80 percent of the population.

I'm looking around and so far I'm not seeing anyone who can fit that bill.

How about you?

See anything and anybody that might work?

SO FAR SO GOOD

 Baseball playoffs have gone extremely well so far.....Dodgers have a chance to repeat which is very hard to do.  Four more wins.  I'm worried about champagne poisonings.

MORE BASEBALL

 It's the NEXT part of the Baseball season......good time to tune in if you haven't been paying attention.

It;a time for a memory

 Baseball and SEAN

Hopefully

 I've really been humbled by the latest Trump election and then I realize that the last ten years have been the Trump decade.  Even when he was out his name was mentioned every single day.

The Trump Decade has basically shut me up.

Hopefully I will rebound.....and hopefully it happens soon.

Please scroll down the archives on the right and read some past articles. 

 I started Mind Jazz on the last day of 2006.....why not start there?

IMMIGRATION

 Apparently John McCain and Ted Kennedy introduced a WORKABLE Immigration bill back in the day and it was rejected.

Maybe we should take a look at that bill......
