And of course, before finishing up at RISD, David Byrne started out at Maryland Institute for the Arts, also in good old crazy Baltimore! Wow, nice pic of a youthful Eggleston, and I've bookmarked the interview. Thanks! Scott p.s. I went to the AFI in DC to see a premier of a Wim Wenders movie some years back. Maybe "The End of Violence," but I can't recall. Anyway, Wim Wenders was there and he took lots of questions from the audience. He's super cool, like Lou Reed class of cool. At one point he quipped that he was staying with some friends in Baltimore, because there weren't any interesting people in Washington, DC. LOL. Kind of mean, but having lived here for so many years now , I'm finally inclined to agree :-) My protracted illness is the excuse I needed to move back to crazy old Baltimore. But first, there's a baby on the way.... Phil Swango wrote: > Scott M. wrote: > >> My parents raised me and my brother on David Lynch flicks starting >> with "Eraser Head."
