Marie Wintzer: Is there life on Mars and red rocket

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Direct from from the street market in Japan, an unaltered Red Rocket.  Cool!

And also from the girl with the mousy hare.

Thank you Marie

And so...we begin again.

[De Villo Sloan]

Yes David, that is pretty much the end result of 125 years of the avant garde.

Thought someone should mention Marie's fine contextual deconstruction. In particular: "Music has a pervasive tendency to rhythmically engage up a cow."

Additional info from dear wikipedia:

"New research indicates ancient Greeks brought wine

to southern France about 600 BC,

 dispelling the theory that the Romans were responsible... (of course!)

The study ~ headed by Prof. Paul Cartledge of Cambridge Univeristy ~ 

found that the Greeks founded Massalia, now known as Marseilles, 

which they then turned into a bustling trading center. Within a matter of generations 

the nearby Rhône became a major thoroughfare for vessels carrying terracotta amphorae 

containing a new exotic Greek drink made from fermented grape juice..."

[Valentine Mark Herman]

I stand corrected. Or rather I would stand, but I finished the bottle at lunchtime, and now it's easier to lie down.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Yes, In Seine, but we all know that French wine is GREEK :-)

Put some in the Vix bronze crater and ...drink up, drink up!

Vix  bronze crater, circa 530-510 BC

Once Paris and its region – Īle-de-France – was France’s biggest producer of wine. Paris had what it takes to produce excellent wine: the right weather conditions; fertile soil; clergyman with a love of the stuff, and last but by no means least, Paris was where the monarch was and France’s monarch had a taste - See more at: http://www.marilynztomlins.com/articles/wine-made-in-paris/#sthash....

Thanks DVS.

Carina, I definitely remember this from "Marie's Mailbox." It's specifically about:

Bowie was using William Burroughs inspired cut-ups (see third stanza). The song references Frank Sinatra's performance in "From Here to Eternity."

It was an interesting discussion. I think Rebecca participated.

Hey there's always Mars One (life on Mars 2025)! Nice work from Marie.
