That’s the subject of my piece on Pajamas this morning. What I’d like to say here though is that we got some really cool art from Oleg Atbashian. I like working with him and with my friend Roman Genn who also does illustrations for Pajamas and is having a show opening in Santa Monica (James Gray Gallery/Bergamot Station) on September 8. Both Oleg and Roman – two very talented guys – are refugees from the former Soviet Union. I’m told if you join me down at Roman’s opening, you might get some real vodka instead of the usual cheap chardonnay.

Now I am not always a fan of anonymous blogging in democratic countries. It can be a recipe for taking pot shots at people without assuming responsibility. But in totalitarian societies, where the results of free expression can be incarceration or worse, it is another matter.
