Our Oriental Heritage by Will Durant (1935)

Civilization is social order promoting cultural creation. Four elements constitute it: economic provision, political organization, moral tradition, and the pursuit of knowledge and the arts. It begins where chaos and insecurity end. For when fear is overcome, curiosity and constructiveness are free, and man passes by natural impulse towards the understanding and embellishment of life.” (Will Durant, Story of Civilization, pg 1, vol. 1)

David Lynch will be missed.

Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks are among my favorites.

I recently watched The Elephant Man for the first time to honor David's passing, that ending made my eyes water.

Charlie Megira - Tomorrow's Gone

Beautiful. I don't need to understand Hebrew to feel what he's saying in the universal language of music.

Charlie Megira deserves more recognition.

Gal Costa - Baby (1969)

A classic of MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira)

That whole record is superb! A unique blend of bossa nova, rock, psychedelia, funk, pop.
