Me and Jimi Hendrix

by John Stark Bellamy II

Very few, if any, of the so-called facts in my Jimi Hendrix story are capable of factual verification.

Various documentary sources will attest that the Jimi Hendrix Experience played a concert at the Washington Hilton Hotel auditorium on March 10, 1968. I believe there were two Hendrix shows there that day, one in the afternoon (which I attended) and one at 8 p.m.

How Close Is Close?
Up Close and Personal with Chuck Close’s Friends

Linda’s friends have joined her. You may remember Linda as the name of a large photorealistic portrait that is part of Akron Art Museum’s permanent collection and had been on display for years.

Chuck Close painted this portrait in the 1970s by emulating the four-color printing process, building up cyan, magenta, yellow and black colored paints so seamlessly that the final painting shows no sign of the layers, but a super-realistic, large-scale painting…

Mayor Jackson and “What Is Is” Campaign
Plus, Dan Gilbert Should Pay His Property Taxes…

Could this be the dullest, most meaningless mayoral election of all time? Well, it is what it is, ain’t it?

If I were running against Jackson I’d say strongly and often, “What it IS should not BE.”

You’d think we have a monk, not a mayor…
