The neon-lit cityscape that speeds past as the band tours the skyscrapers of Manhattan in a steampunk 1920s open tourning car is wonderful. So's the whole thing, for that matter.<br /><br />Here's the address: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RaKSRU60bw&list=UUKH9HfYY_GEcyltl2mbD5lA&index=7Magnaverdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231057342527140091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694563163726770793.post-8109280778460899742013-02-28T09:32:18.624-06:002013-02-28T09:32:18.624-06:00This blinking summons is so moveable Gatsby!

That's why I had to use MSPaint in the first place. Everything else is too complicated. And while I knew that big image would blink on my blog--that was the main idea--I didn't realize that even the links to it would blink. I didn't even know that was possible.

Fortunately, it was just your brilliantly created lead image. Congratulations on your technical expertise, as advanced as your aesthetic sensibilities. I had not realized the tragic extent of Chicago's architectural losses (and what replaced them). I would have thought the 1973 tune was about 5 years older, but it's catchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
