Rocket Thrower Ruins of NYC World Fair 1964

Theme piece for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Donald De Lue’s Promethean figure still stands on its original site in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park long after the fair buildings have vanished. Celebrating the space age, this forty-five-foot high semi-nude male hurls a long arc-shaped object through a circle of stars into outer space. It remains symbolic of our country’s aspirations and confidence during the era of our first explorations beyond the stratosphere.

Happy Posthumous Birthday

Joe Strummer of The Clash would have turned 58 today (born 21 August 1952). Strummer died suddenly on 22 December 2002 at his home at Broomfield in Somerset, after walking his dog. He was the victim of an undiagnosed congenital heart defect.



Born in Ankara, Turkey and the son of a diplomat, Strummer, whose real name was John Mellor, was middle class and public school educated but became a hugely admired figure as the musical voice of rebellion.


BLOGLOADS: He was also a member of The 101ers, The Mescaleros and The Pogues.
