Call us boring and simple-minded, but before we saw the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris we never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate. Steven Psyllos caught up with Harris recently to discuss his older works (including a bear and a giraffe) and unveil a new beast that looks not unlike the Cloverfield monster. Video by Jonah Green

Eddie Harris was born on October 20th, 1934 in Chicago, Illinois. He began his career as a singer in various Baptist churches around Chicago, and started appearing at these churches from the age of five. Eddie started playing the piano and began playing very well by ear. He was mainly playing just church songs at the time. A few years later, Eddie's cousin began teaching him how to read musical notation. Eddie Harris went to John Farren Elementary School and to Burke Elementary. He went to Du Sable High School and Hyde Park High School. He continued his education at Illinois University Navy Pier, Roosevelt University and the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied classical saxophone. Eddie first started playing the vibraphone while attending Du Sable High School, under the guidance of the formidable Capt. Walter Dyette, the music teacher who was mentor to many future jazz greats. "Chafing under the strict discipline of Capt. Dyette," (writes Lloyd Sachs) Eddie transferred to Hyde Park High School. Eddie turned down an athletic scholarship to study music at Roosevelt College, where he met jazz promoter Joe Segal, who hired him to sit in with such immortals as Charlie Parker and Lester Young. Eddie was drafted into the Army, at which time they put him into electronics. He later joined an Airborne unit and soon became disgusted with seeing many of the soldiers being injured, so he auditioned for, and made, the talent-laden 7th Army Jazz Band, which performed and toured extensively. After leaving the Army, Eddie lived in New York, where he worked all the time, from pit bands to jazz bands, to small combos and playing piano in the late afternoon at a dance studio. Due to an illness in the family, Eddie returned to Chicago in 1960. He married Sarah Elizabeth Turner, and they had two daughters, Lolita Maria and Yvonne Marie. Eddie was signed as a pianist by Vee-Jay Records, but he got to play tenor on his own arrangement of the theme from the movie "Exodus." The album was called Exodus to Jazz , and the single cut Exodus was released as a 45 RPM. It was the first jazz record to score a "Gold Record" certification, and made the Billboard Top 40 as a pop single. The record sold more than 2 million copies -- unheard of from a jazz artiste at that time. "Wounded by accusations of selling out, Eddie didn't perform 'Exodus' for years," writes Lloyd Sachs. After two years, Eddie left Vee-Jay Records and began recording for Columbia. In 1965 he released an album called The In Sound which included the song Freedom Jazz Dance, which has been recorded by many other artistes including Miles Davis. In 1967, his album The Electrifying Eddie Harris featured the song Listen Here which also became a hit. In June 1969, Eddie recorded an album at the Montreux Jazz Festival with Les McCann's group, which included Leroy Vinnegar on bass. It was called Swiss Movement , went to #29 on the Billboard pop album chart, and included the song Compared To What. (See the lyrics to that song here. ) Eddie's December 1969 album Free Speech is "considered by many jazz aficionados as one of the first, if not THE first, jazz fusion album," writes Stephen K. Peeples. "He further demonstrated his willingness to stretch the boundaries of jazz" (writes Peter Watrous) when he recorded Eddie Harris in the U.K. which included rock musicians Stevie Winwood and Jeff Beck. From 1969 to 1971, Eddie also wrote the music for "The Bill Cosby Show." He also invented several unique hybrid instruments, such as the "saxobone," which was essentially a tenor fitted with a trombone mouthpiece. He also frequently sang and worked comedy routines into his performances. Eddie even released a comedy album called Why Does This Always Happen To Me? and another one called The Reason Why I'm Talking Shit . Good luck trying to find a copy! Eddie was a tireless performer, composer and innovator. He published numerous books of interest to jazz students and musicians, including The Eddie Harris Fake Book; Jazz Licks; Skips; Fusionary Jazz Duets and several others. He recorded albums on numerous labels large and small, including MCA, Virgin, Blue Note, Atlantic, Flying Heart, Moonwalker, Enja, Steeplechase, RCA and more. He continued to practice daily and placed great value on it. He held musicians to a rigorous standard, and continued performing until he was disabled by disease. In his obit in the Chicago Tribune, Howard Reich writes: "Though medical treatments in the last year left him thin and weak, Harris played a weeklong engagement in May (1996) at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Short on wind and barely able to stand, he nevertheless summoned the strength to produce an extremely moving performance. What he had lost in technical facility he counterbalanced with the urgency and melodic appeal of his work." Eddie Harris died on November 5th, 1996 at USC/University Hospital in Los Angeles, California. He was 62.

Two Little Boys. The song "Two Little Boys" sung by Rolf Harris. From Wikipedia, "Two Little Boys" is a popular song written by Theodore Morse and Edward Madden. It was written in 1902 and it became a popular music hall song hit of the time made popular by Harry Lauder. Rolf Harris In 1969 it was revived in popularity when during a tour of Arnhem Land in Australia, Australian entertainer Rolf Harris briefly stayed with folk musician Ted Egan. Egan sung him the song, which Harris recorded on tape. When he got back to England he persuaded his television producer into using the song on his BBC variety show. Harris discovered he had lost the tape and rang Egan, twelve thousand miles away in Canberra, and got him to sing the song over the phone. Alan Braden arranged the song for the TV show, and the audience reaction was such that it was recorded by Harris and released as a single. The song reached #1 on the singles chart in December 1969 for six weeks and became the UK's best selling single of 1969. On popular BBC radio show Desert Island Discs, Margaret Thatcher picked it as her favourite song. In October 2008, Harris announced he would be re-recording the song, backed by North Wales' Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir, in order to mark the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I.[1] Other versions Kenny Rogers sang a version of the song while he was lead singer of the country-rock band The First Edition, which was released on their 1971 album Transition. The song was later revived in 1980 by Splodgenessabounds and reached #27 on the UK singles chart. Another version by a group of Hartlepool United fans was released as a double A-side with "Never Say Die" on the single "Poolie Pride", reaching #24 on the UK Singles Chart in 2006. The song is also commonly played by Irish band The Frames during live performance of their song "Star Star**", as well as by the Canadian band The Irish Rovers on the album Children Of The Unicorn. In popular culture A version with the names changed is sung by the character Spud in the film Trainspotting after Tommy's funeral.

December 9th, 02005 - Sam Harris "The View From The End Of The World" This is an audio only presentation. This talk took place in the Conference Center Golden Gate Room, San Francisco. Quote: With gentle demeanor and tight argument, Sam Harris carried an overflow audience into the core of one of the crucial issues of our time: What makes some religions lethal? How do they employ aggressive irrationality to justify threatening and controlling non-believers as well as believers? What should be our response? Harris began with Christianity. In the US, Christians use irrational arguments about a soul in the 150 cells of a 3-day old human embryo to block stem cell research that might alleviate the suffering of millions. In Africa, Catholic doctrine uses tortured logic to actively discourage the use of condoms in countries ravaged by AIDS. "This is genocidal stupidity," Harris said. Faith trumps rational argument. Common-sense ethical intuition is blinded by religious metaphysics. In the US, 22% of the population are CERTAIN that Jesus is coming back in the next 50 years, and another 22% think that it's likely. The good news of Christ's return, though, can only occur following desperately bad news. Mushroom clouds would be welcomed. "End time thinking," Harris said, "is fundamentally hostile to creating a sustainable future." Harris was particularly critical of religious moderates who give cover to the fundamentalists by not challenging them. The moderates say that all is justified because religion gives people meaning in their life. "But what would they say to a guy who believes there's a diamond the size of a refrigerator buried in his backyard? The guy digs out there every Sunday with his family, cherishing the meaning the quest gives them." "I've read the books," Harris said. "God is not a moderate." The Bible gives strict instructions to kill various kinds of sinners, and their relatives, and on occasion their entire towns. Yet slavery is challenged nowhere in the New or Old Testaments; slave holders in the old south used the Bible to defend their practice. The religious texts have power because they are old, but they are also hopelessly out of date because they are old. It's taboo among religious moderates to compare religions, said Harris, but we must. "Where are the Tibetan Buddhist suicide bombers? For that matter, where are the Palestinian Christian suicide bombers--- they're as Arab and aggrieved as anyone." The fundamental beliefs of Islam really are a problem. "Martyrdom in jihad is not a fringe doctrine; it is believed by millions of Muslims." It's not a question of ignorance--- two-thirds of al Qaeda operatives are college educated. "We have no reason to expect to survive our religious differences indefinitely. Faith is intrinsically divisive. We have a choice between conversation and war." It was conversation that ended slavery, not faith. "Faith is a declaration of immunity to conversation. To make religious war unthinkable, we have to undermine the dogma of faith. The continuance of civilization requires not moderation, but reason." Harris ended by lauding meditation and mysticism as a form of experiential science, and observed, "The wisdom of contemplative life is not evenly distributed. The East has more than the West."

Rolf Harris and his Sun Arise is a well loved song from my youth. So in the slide show there are images of the sun rising ... Rolf ... a few Australian animals and of course, some of Rolfies fantastic art ... though there is a Monet popped in there. Rolf has had a long career on tv mostly BBC. He had his own The Rolf Harris Show on BBC in 1967, and through the 70's and early 80's when he had Rolf on Saturday OK? Between 88 and 92 he presented Rolf's Cartoon Club, a children's show which combined Harris' love of art with showings of kids cartoons. The show also gave out tips to children. He had a Christmas Number One single titled "Two Little Boys" in 1969 He was also commissioned to paint a portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II for her 80th birthday, which was unveiled by Rolf Harris on 19 December 2005 at Buckingham Palace. In 1959 he recorded his hit "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport". The song was recorded on a single microphone placed above him in the TV studio. The song was sent to record company EMI in Sydney and it was soon released. The song was originally titled "Kangalypso" and featured the distinctive sound of the "wobble board" In 2006 Rolf expressed his regret about the original lyrics Rolf sang "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" (with The Beatles singing backing vocals) in the first edition of the From Us To You BBC radio shows, in December, 1963 Rolf went on to use an array of unusual instruments in his music, including the didgeridoo (the sound of which was imitated on "Sun Arise" by four double basses), Jew's harp and, later, the stylophone. Harris has played the didgeridoo on two albums by English pop singer Kate Bush, 1982's The Dreaming and 2005's Aerial. His biggest hit, however, was a gimmick-free rendering of the sentimental song "Two Little Boys" (1969), a departure for him in that he usually recorded either his own compositions or traditional songs. Rolf also created one of his most famous roles in the 1960s, Jake the Peg. Here are Rolf's Lyrics Sun arise, she bring in the morning. Sun arise, bring in the morning, fluttering her skirts all around. Sun arise, she come with the dawning. Sun arise, come with the dawning, spreading all the light all around. Sun arise, on the kangaroo paw. Sun arise, on the kangaroo paw, glistening the dew all around. Sun arise, filling all the hollows, Sun arise, filling all the hollows, lighting up the hills all around. Sun arise, come with the dawning, Sun arise, she come every day. Sun arise, bring in the morning, Sun arise, every, every, every, every, day. She drive away the darkness, every day, Drive away the darkness, Bringing back the warmth to the ground. Sun arise, oh, oh, Sun arise, oh, oh, Spreading all the light all around... Sun arise, bring in the morning. Sun arise, bring in the morning, spreading all the light all around.
