As you’ll discover in this episode, I have a thing for (some) modern art. Long ago, I was something of a regular at NY’s famed MOMA – Museum of Modern Art. I spent a lot of time there, decompressing from the office. Three of my favorite works would suck me in like a vortex. I’d stare at them so long and so hard, I sometimes felt as if I had morphed into the paintings. And no, I never did any hallucinogens.

This was usually first on my list.

Next, this one by Magritte. Can you feel those cobblestones beneath your shoes? I could.

“Empire of Light” was also part of the permanent collection. The forground says 6:30 while the sky is at least two hours earlier. And that street lamp. It knows all about the residents of those fancy homes. But it isn’t telling.

Maybe Salvador Dali took psychedelic drugs. How else did he come up with Persistence of Memory? When time melts, does it slow down or speed up?

As Yin to the Yang of those magnificent works of art, here’s a video of some maniac stabbing two people, in very close proximity to those paintings. Said maniac was pissed off for many reasons, primarily that people were no longer wearing masks in Manhattan.
