In an essay from 1997, Daphne Merkin writes, “We will never have enough of [Marilyn] Monroe, in part because there is never sufficient explanation for the commotions of her soul.” Today would have been Monroe’s 100th birthday—and our fascination with her dazzling loneliness remains.

Con inmenso pesar, el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes despide a Julio Le Parc, referente indiscutido del arte argentino en el mundo y maestro del arte óptico cinético, y saluda a sus familiares, amigos y colegas en este momento tan triste.

El artista cubano Ronaldy Navarro sacó a pasear mi poema por Brooklyn. Creo recordar que estuve ahí:

“Si me preguntan where are you from
siempre respondo con la mirada.”

[David Gilmour @davidgilmour]

Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.

On Sunday at 5pm BST / 12noon ET / 6pm CET, the entire show, released as Remember That Night, will premiere on David's YouTube (where you can watch the full performance of Comfortably Numb now).

“Nobody would call Astor Place the center of New York City, but for the people who start their lives here as students at NYU, it could feel like that for at least a little while. Cozy Soup ’n’ Burger fit in perfectly, waiting for you right as you hit the Broadway end of the block,” writes Jason Diamond. “It is a real diner — the likes of which keep getting closer to extinction — but for people who lived, worked, and studied within its vicinity over the last 54 years, it always felt like something a little more. Like any diner that sticks around for multiple decades, its greatness can be measured by the community it fostered and the people it has fed more than sales numbers or the quality of food.”

Unfortunately, those things don’t seem to keep the lights on anymore, and at the end of June, Cozy will close for good.

It’s another loss for the city, another landmark that predates the birth or arrival of most people who live here, soon to be gone forever. It wasn’t a culinary landmark — though you likely won’t find such perfect split-pea soup and thick-cut French fries anywhere else in the surrounding Zip Codes — and it never tried to rise above its humble station. The mood in the world being what it is, losing a place quite literally called cozy feels almost too on the nose.

A word in memory and honor of Sonny Rollins, who was so powerful that, playing alone, he was a band; he contained multitudes:

“We'd go to Rockaway on Sundays, which is like, I don't know, two-and-a-half hours or something with the A train, and nobody would be on [the train] Sunday morning. So we'd be like writing everywhere. We'd jump out of stations in the middle of nowhere, write our names, get back on the train. That's how we were doing it.” https://t.co/ngJ3Cp1WUk

Listening again to this @PaulMcCartney interview by @seanonolennon I was struck by the originality of the questions and the responses. Lots of new information. And there's a performance of early Lennon/McCartney lost song Just Fun ( briefly heard acapella in the Let It Be film).

Say goodbye to another old-school NYC diner. Ownership of the Cozy Soup 'n' Burger on Broadway at Astor Place announced that the 54-year-old diner is closing on June 21. The reasons: Rising costs and declining business.
