DAILY MUSE | I just came across this excellent ABC Nightline feature on the life of singer Eva Cassidy. It filled in a lot of background that I didn’t know about. If you are already a fan of this extraordinary singer, you’ll love it. If you don’t know about Eva’s limitless talent yet, watch it. And pick up some of her recordings. They are absolute treasures.
UPDATE | Part 3 will make you weep… I did.

DAILY MUSE | Lately, I seem to be tracing a theme of quantum physics and its relationship to us as human beings and creators. So far over the last few weeks I’ve had “The Secret“, Oprah’s episode on the Secret, The Secret’s Source and “What the Bleep Do We Know“. Here is another related film, one of my favorites… “Mindwalk”. It follows an artist, a politician and a physicist in conversation as they walk around the Isle of Mont Saint-Michel– arguably one of the most beautiful creations in the world. As their tour and discussion progresses you begin to realize that they are essentially walking around the mind of man. It’s heavy. But mind blowing. Particularly if you’ve never heard of systems theory.
(While the quality of the video is poor, stick with it. It’s worth tolerating for the fascinating conversation… much akin to another classic, “My Dinner with Andre”. And it’s got a great Philip Glass soundtrack. Buy a real copy here if you like.)
