Quotestonesrule FYI, Yves Saint Laurent died of brain cancer in 2008. The Saint Laurent Collection is presently being designed by Hedi Slimane. Yes, the designer himself retired in 2002 (and died, as you pointed out, in 2008). The house he founded is still called Saint Laurent, of course.

Sorry if this already has been shared on IORR; I didn't find it when I searched past posts for Saint Laurent. Just watched the YSL biopic, then was looking around for pictures of Warhol and Jagger with the designer and found this blog-post showing the direct connection between Stones style and items in the Saint Laurent Men Spring Summer 2015 collection. Kind of fun. Inspiration - Saint L

I work at a thoroughbred racetrack, where Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, and various traditional tunes played on bugle are the usual audio background. Don't know who was at the controls today, but "Gimme Shelter" made it on to the playlist. A welcome change!

I agree, Keith does this song so well. His version is on the soundtrack to the 1996 film "Basquiat" too. KR "The Nearness of You" from "Basquiat"

I'm a fan. I like Bad As Me a lot, and I like many of the early tunes. Any of his songs can be played from his website, btw. Do watch him performing (online) too. And here he is, with Keith, singing "Shenandoah" (a traditional American song) Waits & Richards Shenandoah

There are some houses in the areas he designed, (I don't know the details), and there is a famous office building downtown designed by his teacher Louis Sullivan, the great Chicago architect.

One of the properties, the Darwin Martin House, was visited today by a certain singer and drummer.

Greyhound has very inexpensive fares for travel from Detroit to Cleveland. No idea how close the bus station is to the train station in Cleveland, though.
Forum: Tell Me

Quotebv Is there a bus or train from Detroit to Buffalo? Flights take six hours via via. This seems to be the shortest still the most complicated part of the tour travel... The most direct is a red-eye (The Lakeshore Limited) out of Chicago. You'd have to take a train to Chicago and change, or take a bus to Toledo and change. Many hours, but couchettes are available for the long overni
