7 Sept. 2012: Crosby, Stills & Nash as old as they are.. are touring California starting tonight at the Greek Theatre in LA. They've come a long way since Woodstock in 1969 and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (which Stills' wrote about his broken love affair with folk singer Judy Collins). I have no idea if they still have their sing song voices but they are true rock legends and hold a place in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.. Stills actually holds 2 awards with one being for his previous band Buffalo Springfield. Follow link to hear their music through the years.

25 July 2012: Filmmaker Alison Klayman's documentary called "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" is now showing. It chronicles Ai's crusade to seek justice for an alleged police beating in China. He is known for his large installations and designs like the Beijing's Olympic Stadium, known as the "Bird's Nest". Ai's run-in with police came as a result of his support for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, part of which manifested itself in a Munich installation where he spelled out a Chinese phrase using colored school backpacks that represented the child victims.
