This radio show was literally spur of the moment. I really didn’t have a format rushing from Sculpture class tonight, but I thought about Tuesday in Sculpture, which triggered my lean towards Progressive Rock – on Tuesday I helped one of the students (with the professor) cast her whole head in liquid rubber and plaster, with only her nostrils exposed. I mean her entire head with a swim cap on. It was a lengthy process – about 45 minutes with this dear child’s head fully encased in slime and plaster. To keep her calm, she had her playlist going, streaming over a Bluetooth speaker – and to my surprise, her playlist was Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and other “older” standards I didn’t expect any post-Millennial to listen to. She had such courage to endure that extreme level of claustrophobia. I was amazed.
