An Ear for Dancing

According to Time magazine, a new book claims that Vincent Van Gogh did not cut off his own ear but lost it in a knife fight. Of course it's a ridiculous claim since everybody knows that Van Gogh lost his ear after refusing to do a portrait of Mike Tyson. *** Just when you thought the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game was over, an Ohio fundamentalist Baptist school, removes the dustcover of Footloose to punish a 17-year-old student. It seems that Tyler Frost, was warned that he would be, not only suspended but prevented from graduating if he attended a dance at another school all because his Alma matter forbids, dancing, rock music, hand holding and thinking for yourself. The young man says he went to the other school's dance because he wanted to experience a prom while his stepfather's says that those rules don't apply off of school grounds. If the school takes action to suspend the boy, his family will file a lawsuit. Now there's another cause to which I will gladly donate money. ****
