Mark Morris Dance Group

Mark Morris from his new memoir OUT LOUD. This is one beautiful dude. Not surprisingly the Times found fault with it.

Mark! Did you vote today?






His last performance:  As Dido in Dido and Aeneas.

Music by Henry Purcell.

Listen to Jessye Norman sing Purcell's WHEN I AM LAID IN EARTH.

She died in September 2019 at age 74 of complications of spinal cord surgery.



As my thousands of readers know, I have a wall of fame in my bedroom. The young Mark Morris
would go up on the wall.

On XPN right now, the new book about Janis Joplin is under discussion.

Groundbreaking music, a woman who was a focal point, better than any guy onstage.

Should I check it out of the library? She was an adventuress who hitchhiked to Brazil!

CRY BABY,

We miss you... and yes, said the biographer, she certainly enjoyed life.

Up on my wall, Janis!

“Joplin fans rejoice! Holly George-Warren’s biography is a triumph of passionate scholarship, thus making me love Janis—with all her baffling and brilliant complexity—even more.” — David Ritz



Janis - 1943 to 1970. 27 years old.
