| | rantnrave:// They are the TV voices booming over dinner. The radio soundtrack for a long evening drive. The voices fans fall asleep to. Every baseball fan grew up with one. How about that! SportsSET: "Holy Cow! Baseball's Best Storytellers"... Color is deeply symbolic across cultures, used to communicate style, power, wealth, and belonging. These stories highlight the meaning of color, how it's made, and the business of creating color trends. FashionSET: "Polychrome World"... "Purple Rain" was originally meant to be a STEVIE NICKS song. "Take on Me" was once called "The Juicy Fruit Song." But wiser angels prevailed. Another nugget-filmed volume of artists writing, recording, and talking about writing and recording, classic songs. MusicSET: "Behind the Song, Vol. 5"... I get it... Even a family dinner can't drive me crazier than hearing experts explain his strategy and assign logic and hope to what he can do better. Are you f***ing kidding me? Incompetent fraud. You can't lip sync a constitution and intelligence. And the vile, racist chanters? It very well may be free speech. But it's definitely poison. Left behind? I don't feel bad anymore. Leave them behind. Figuratively, the prospect of this scene happening to gasoline throwers, the complicit, racists, bigots, truth deniers gets me up each am... I wish there was a RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE signal we could put in the sky like BATMAN. We need them now more than ever.... What every TV network exec has to see when they wait for their car at SOHO HOUSE WEHO... SAMSUNG's LEE going to OZ... Not a fan of shrugs. Especially from those you need answers and accountability from... I give ZAC AFRON big props for being a great comedic actor... Happy Birthday to DAVID WEIER, SAMIRA NANDA, STONE, KELLY SAWYER PATRICOF, ERIC SACKS, BRIAN WOLFE, and SETH CUMMINGS. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| It was striking that when Swift’s most recent album cycle started this week, it began with the erasure of her social media history, a symbolic act reflective of the focus implied by the album’s title—"Reputation"—but also fundamentally at odds with the way she has launched three mega-successful albums in the past. | | |
