How could anyone forget Mr Bean’s 'Whistler’s Mother' speech? I don't think Whistler would have hated it.

See speech here: https://youtu.be/cuoMO00djCE?si=VoPf6PzVVgDAfq38

At first overlooked, Whistler's 1871 painting of his mother rose to fame over decades to become considered a national masterpiece, a maternal figurehead and a diverse meme.

IT'S RUDE TO STARE AT A LADIES REAR END. When car designers try to push the boundaries of car design, you get either a major breakthrough or a big failure. The 1933 Fuller Dymaxion should have been a major breakthrough given the skills of its designer, R. Buckminster Fuller, but he pushed the boundaries too far. The Fuller Dymaxion is closer in design to a dirigible than a car. Its angled back, three-wheel design led to performance problems that made it almost undrivable. Three cars were made, but none of them resolved the problems. The project ended after a fatal crash during testing, and the Fuller Dymaxion never made it to the market.

Nashville's Lane Motor Museum graciously gave this crazy guy the thrill to drive their recently completed replica of the Buckminster Fuller-designed Dymaxion car. It was a scary, but fascinating, experience.

GET INSPIRED! "What's interesting about music, and about all the people here, they find new sounds, you know, and they do things differently, themselves. So it's like a new experience every day, the guy on the guitar will find a new lick, or the guy on the piano will find something, or the voices will add something. And I hear all this, and it inspired me." Elvis Presley

Don McLean - Vincent | The Story Behind The Song "Pain is a very important part of art. People on drugs today, they're on prozac, they can't be artists, they can't feel anything, you gotta suffer, and you have to separate yourself from the rest of the people, you can't be a social guy, you can't be a regular guy because you're not regular, you're different. In a sense, we are missionaries, we go around with our music and our ideas to change the world a bit" Don McLean
