Mothers of Invention - Mom & Dad

This is a dedication for NYPD officer Anthony Bologna, who took it upon himself to walk up to a group of peaceful demonstrators that were cattled (caged) behind an orange fence by the NYPD. Officer Bolognia maze them with pepper spray, then turn around and walk away as if nothing happened. Thank you for showing so openly what the NYPD stands for: "if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” Abraham Lincoln said that.

Let's hope they don't give this cat a gun and won't let him run with scissors either!




Lyrics to the song:
Mama! Mama!
Someone said they made some noise
The cops have shot some girls & boys
You'll sit home & drink all night
They looked too weird . . . it served them right

Mama! Mama!
Someone said they made some noise
The cops have shot some girls & boys
You'll sit home & drink all night
They looked too weird . . . it served them right

Ever take a minute just to show a real emotion
In between the moisture cream & velvet facial lotion?
Ever tell your kids you're glad that they can think?
Ever say you loved 'em?
Ever let 'em watch you drink?
Ever wonder why your daughter looked so sad?
It's such a drag to have to love a plastic Mom & Dad

Mama! Mama!
Your child was killed in the park today
Shot by the cops as she quietly lay
By the side of the creeps she knew . . .
They killed her too.

Walking on Water

"People want you to think in a certain way, and this sport actually allows you to push your horizons further, its just, its not boxing you in, and saying that’s what you are, its like, your moving past it all..." Sebastian Vanderwerf

JR winner of the 2011 TED Prize

JR’s career as a photographer began when he found a camera in the Paris subway. In his first major project, in 2001 and 2002, JR toured and photographed street art around Europe, tracking the people who communicate their messages to the world on walls. His first large-format postings began appearing on walls in Paris and Rome in 2003. His first book, Carnet de rue par JR, about street artists, appeared in 2005.

In 2006, he launched “Portrait of a Generation,” huge-format portraits of suburban “thugs” from Paris’ notorious banlieues, posted on the walls of the bourgeois districts of Paris. This illegal project became official when Paris City Hall wrapped its own building in JR’s photos.

As he is anonymous and doesn’t explain his huge full-frame portraits of people making faces, JR leaves the space empty for an encounter between the subject/protagonist and the passerby/ interpreter.(source TED)
