  1. Bruce, you’re going to have to add this to your lose/loose word list.
    bazaar = an open-air marketplace, typically in the Middle East.
    bizarre = strange or unusual.

  2. If you want a serious comment -here it is: The idea of color and music and marketing and art is very much a subject of pop art history. From Albers to the White Album to Lichtenstein to Keinholz there is ample material from which to draw. There is even an Italian artist, Pierro Motollo part of a contemporary school of thought and exploration about the perceptual and psychological relationships. As an experiment it still has possibilties about resonance, our universe and our limited sensory organs. As an art experience they could hook up with the ART 21 peeps out of NYC for some creds. But if this is a marketing effort purely designed to separate the maximum amount of money from the maximum amount of people, it may be a stretch. In my very small opinion, in difficult economic times, it is the real touch of people to people that makes the exchange of energies (aka money) worth our while. Something about how we can change, how we grow, adapt, connect and reach out to each other. If they are not looking for a serious comment: No soap radio.
