Fernando Botero, Artist of Whimsical Rotundity, Is Dead at 91
His voluptuous figures, both in paintings and in sculpture, portrayed the high and mighty as well as everyday people through an enlarging prism.
I asked a class of Chinese 10th graders who the most famous rock band in history is and a boy immediately responded with Linkin Park.
How far we have fallen.
It could have been worse. He could have said Nickelback.
They had the biggest selling rock record of the last 25 years.
The most “hits” of the last decade would likely be Imagine Dragons.
Imagine Dragons released their first album in 2012, so let’s consider 2012-present, a bit longer than ten years, or close enough. During that time, Imagine Dragons has had ten (US) Top 40 hits, including five Top Ten, but no #1s. Over the same period, Maroon 5 has fifteen Top 40 hits, with eleven Top Ten songs and two #1s.
Maroon 5 are not a rock band.
gonna hope this guy had no connection to epstein

Went to the Botero museum in Bogota this summer. My younger son sent this picture to his friend who said “that looks like your mom”. My dumbass son told my wife and it will be a “thing” until we’re all dead.
lol kids are the worst

don’t know if he was non-terrible, but his work was exquisite
With exquisite precision, he used costumes and sets in staging many of his pictures, letting his subjects, whatever their social status, express themselves.
Some of his work is NSFW

Recently started reading his Endgame Course too. RIP
Actor David McCallum, known for his role on the long-running CBS procedural “NCIS,” has died, the network said in a statement. He was 90.
Always enjoyed him. My mom always remembered him as the guy from that old show I am blanking on.
I thought that was what it was. Thanks.
