I produce cartoons and media networks.

It’s rare that Barbra Streisand gets a level headed assessment, but that’s exactly what Cartoon Network music department head, FOF, and writer Dennis Delrogh does in his piece @ CityArts. The Gypsy in Streisand’s Head By DENNIS DELROGH Sep 19, 2012  Brooklyn Homecoming could Solve Barbra’s Career Problems Barbra Streisand is set to return to her native Brooklyn on October 11 at the Barclays Center, where she will perform for the first time in her career. It might behoove her to showcase a medley from Gypsy as a means of silencing some murmuring backlash which has penetrated into the protective element of her generally unconditional fan base, that she may be too old to play someone in her early thirties, in the proposed upcoming film version. She might get away with it on stage–Ethel Merman turned out to be a ball of fun when she revivedAnnie, Get Your Gun at sixty. And while Streisand is not about to make the mistake of casting a Ryan Gosling to play opposite her as Herbie (he’d probably do it), there’s always the cautionary example of Lucille Ball in Mame to be considered or her own experience with the reception of The Mirror Has Two Faces.

Brooklyn Homecoming could Solve Barbra’s Career Problems

Barbra Streisand is set to return to her native Brooklyn on October 11 at the Barclays Center, where she will perform for the first time in her career.

Theft or fair use?  (via “Richard Prince Lawsuit Focuses on Limits of Appropriation”: New York Times.com) The world we’re all living in is a very confusing place for those of us who have based our livings in the world of “copyright.” In my opinion, the age of the copyright (basically, the 20th century) is dead. But, thanks to major corporations (and believe me, many of the “aritsts,” “musicians,” and “filmmakers” who are complaining the loudest are indeed major corporations) have been extending and perverting the original concept of copyright for their own long term greed, and, to my money, the suppression of creative expression.
