& Now for something completely different
Tonight on most PBS stations,

http://www.pbs.org/weta/fridakahlo/

The Life and Times of Frida Kahlo explores the 20th-century icon who became an international sensation in the worlds of modern art and radical politics. Rita Moreno – the Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award winning actress – narrates the film.



In 1930, when Diego received several commissions to paint murals in the United States, the couple packed their bags and headed north. At the end of four years, Diego remained content in his American surroundings, but Frida was homesick and miserable. Her experience living in "Gringolandia" inspired the painting, Self-portrait on the Borderline Between Mexico and the United States.

End of post,

start of rant about recent DU topics.

Just a hint for those that would seem to know better,

if your tired of to many of the same type post in the GD,
coming to the lounge and posting one is not cared for by everyone here either.

Not that names need to be mentioned ( Will Pitt ).
