ok the thread has moved on but fred herzog photos of vancouver are probably my favourite vancouver artifacts. i walk down hastings street every day and it's interesting to compare the contemporary view with that neon-laden past of the strip depict in herzog's photos

I was not familiar with Herzog, but I looked up a gallery of his photos and they amazing.

NYC poet and avant-jazz scene fixture Steve Dalachinsky. I knew him for about 20 years, saw him at every Vision Festival I attended and a million gigs at the Knitting Factory, Tonic, and other places. He was even hanging out at the Whitney Museum when I interviewed Cecil Taylor there for The Wire. An awesome guy. I’ll miss him.

She was on one of the Sunday shows a few weeks ago and her appearance made me suck in my breath. She looked about 95, and like she weighed about 60 pounds max.

Per this tweet, at least, she had a good moment of archival research:

This is partly why I couldn't bear her:
Political journalist George Will, who worked with Roberts on ABC's This Week, said Roberts was not just born to the political class but was a natural inhabitant.
"She liked people on both sides of the aisle and had friends on both sides of the aisle," Will told NPR. "If you don't like the game of politics, I don't see how you write about it well," he said. "She liked the game of politics and she understood that it was a game."

It's amazing how being called "legendary" is so often connected to, as Woody said, just showing up.

She served on the boards of several non-profit organizations such as the Kaiser Family Foundation and was appointed by President George W. Bush to his Council on Service and Civic Participation.

she and her husband did write an editorial condemning Trump in 20216, calling for reasonable Republican (lol) to join them. That's what you can do as a member of the Permanent Beltway.
