Oh wow.. in Japan Patti Smith's album "Horses" was known by the alternate kanji title of MARE.

Make of that what you will.

'Perhaps because of her deliberate self-placement within a lineage of male artists like Ginsberg and Rimbaud, Smith's persona was cerebral, ascetic – aligned more closely with a nascent avant-garde literary tradition, or what she called ‘rock poetry’'

"Planning for perfection is a valid strategy— allowing room for the unplanned is crucial, keeps me on my toes. The whole idea of mistakes should not be a sure thing. There is a surety in insecurity that benefits from the role of inaccuracy and what that means."

So cool! Prince *loved* libraries. For example, this is one donation he made from his charity a few days after 9/11 to save the Louisville Free Public Library, the first library in the community to serve African Americans.

Incredible as it may seem, today is the birthday of TWO men who each invented a musical instrument that was named after them by adding "phone" to the end of their name.
John Philip Sousa (1854-1932): the Sousaphone
Adolphe Sax (1814-1894): the Saxophone
