The Third of May
Posted May 2, 2003
Tomorrow I celebrate my favorite painting. The famous 1814 painting by Goya depicts the shootings of the defenders of Madrid on May third, 1808 during the six-year occupation of Spain by the French.
"[Goya] condemns organized brutality in a way that stands alone in excellence. This scene of slaughter captures every detail of a group of gleeful hateful men destroying their fellow men. Nothing else in all of art equals the violence, the black terror of the moment, with those guns pointed at the group of unarmed victims. This is a difficult painting to look at for extended periods of time and may even cause nightmares."

Here's a really great radio station I found in my area. It seems that a lot of people I know also listen to it. The selections and DJs are very eclectic. If you go to http://www.wfmu.org, you can listen to live broadcasts on the web.

I was listening to my Paul Westerburg CD "Stereo" when I noticed, in fine print, under the second CD "Mono", a web-address. If you go there, you can listen to some of the music, which I highly recomend. Don't be put off by the pictures, as looks are deceiving.
