noisy evening tunes and Ming or Qing vases

OK, Godsmack again! This video features the BIGGEST drum kit ever seen by me--I love drums, and this guy brought along every drum in the store. Question is, why did they ruin a great live performance with the weird zombie crawling out of the bath tub?

And, for more tunes of the day, how about Linkin Park. Oh boy, so much noise!!!!

So, let's say you are wandering around the Cornell Johnson museum looking at Dadaists and surrealists and you turn a corner and come across MING VASES?
OK, Ming vases were copied and reproduced in factories all over starting in the 1800s, and it continues now. You can go to Pier One and get Ming reproductions and they look cheap and common. But what about the REAL THING? Oh my. Some potter sat there hundreds of years ago at his wheel, with clay from his yard, and with his brush in hand....

Blows your mind, doesn't it? And imagine, hundreds of years from now, someone will come across something you made...
