TMA Mural

Yesterday's Star has a story about David Tineo's attempts to save a mural he painted years ago on the side of the Tucson Museum of Art. The website also has a second feature with more pictures and a video.


Suprisingly, the comments section is free of the usual racist rants that accompanies any article touching on local culture. Although, there is one guy calling himself Peter V. who says that Tineo is no Diego Rivera. Oh yeah? Well maybe Rivera is no Tineo. And maybe Peter V. is no Clement Greenberg.

(Always fun to engage in a little name calling in the morning, ain't it? Especially when this pedant used three friggin' posts to give us a rundown of Mexica history. Thanks dude.)

There is also one guy who is claiming that Tineo is asking for taxpayer money to move the mural and this will lead to firing police officers. Um, if this jackass read the article, he'd see that Tineo is looking for grant money, the only city involvement is providing a location to put the thing. Typical redneck douchebaggery, a free service provided by the Star's comments section.



Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

But What Team is Mozart's Sister?

Goal.com's Starting XI column had a feature (ripped off of an earlier one in Four Four Two) on what different soccer teams would be if they were bands. DC United as Johnny Cash? Puhleeze.

Anyhow, our local boys Calexico earned a comparison to Chivas USA. Well, at least it wasn't the Galaxy. Joey Burns would be Ante Razov, John Convertino would be Jonathan Bornstein, I suppose. Jacob Valenzuela would be...um...Brad Guzan? I dunno.

How long before residents of 10th Avenue spot Joey wearing a Claudio Suarez jersey?


Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

Is There No God?!?

I read the news today that Mariah Carey has now surpassed Elvis Presley's record for number one singles.

I checked the Book of Revelation. This is, in fact, a sign of the Apocolypse.


Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
