Just published, my conversation with Phil Freeman about jazz hating. A thoughtful conversation and a great essay. www.stereogum.com/2308999/andr...

Another London excursion is to the Tate Britain. One of my favorite museums. This time we are going to focus on William Blake. Part of class on Madness and Visions in Art.

Planning another month in London with USF study abroad. One class will look at the Art, Vision, and Madness in UK art. Discovered the weird and wonderful work of Louis Wain, and we will see some of his cat paintings at the Bethlem Museum of the Mind: museumofthemind.org.uk
