WHAT WE SHARE

Sometimes when we don't know people, they end up in boxes. There's us and then there's them.

PRINCE: HOMETOWN HERO


What does an artist mean to a community? Why do we mourn artists after they pass?

Art cannot die. It endures even beyond the death of the creator. The messages in Prince's music now have a new meaning and these will be messages his fans will take with them for the rest of their lives. Is it because we see, read and hear things in their work that are relevant to us or that we relate to? Prince's messages of love, peace and harmony (and also music!) resonate with all of us - or at least it should.

ARTHUR’S QUEST


Arthur Rankin, Jr. was an American director, producer and writer, who mostly worked in animation. With his partner Jules Bass, they started Rankin/Bass Productions and created stop-motion animation classics such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the 1977 animated version of The Hobbit. He is credited on over 1,000 television programmes. (Wikipedia)

In the early 80s, he filmed two feature films in Bermuda, Bermuda Depths and The Ivory Ape. Both are cult film classics. Arthur passed away in Jan 2014 but his work lives on.
