Weekend Report

I'm winding down from a relatively active weekend.

On Saturday evening I attended a concert at the Mountain Winery (my absolute favorite venue). Sean Lennon and his band performed first. I am new to Lennon's music and count myself a fan as of Saturday. He and his band were appealing in a couple of ways: First, looking at Sean Lennon, and seeing his father and mother so clearly, was strange and wonderful. Second, the music he writes and performs is captivating.

Rufus Wainwright and his band played second, as headliners. I have known about Rufus for a couple of years, but until Saturday, hadn't heard any of his music except his recording of "Halleluja". By the time he took the stage and began his first song, i was hooked; completely and utterly devoted to the man. His lyrics are in your face and, well, lyrical. His music is kind of over the top and absolutely perfect.

Today, Sunday, I spent the afternoon with various family members, at sfmoma, looking at the photo exhibit currently on display. The featured photographer is Martin Munkacsi. http://www.sfmoma.org/exhibitions/exhib_detail.asp?id=260.
