Some musicians have pictures of Hendrix or Mozart on their walls for inspiration. This is the poster in my music room:

I just read that a Jim Henson exhibit just opened in the museum of science and technology in chicago. DAMMIT! We were just there!

Jim Henson. The lives of millions wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for him. I can't imagine a world without muppets. Now, I get to relive my connection to them with my kids. Watch all the Muppet Shows, Sesame St, Fraggle Rock, the movies.

Whenever the anniversary of his death comes up it really gets to me. I'm all choked up right now just thinking about watching this. I don't think I can while I'm at work. (like the other memorial videos)

oops, sorry, i just noticed this got added to an earlier post.

I'm glad Jim's son, Brian, has been keeping his dad's legacy alive while also adding to it (Farscape etc...).
