- “Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. It is, to my mind, one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.” Comments are welcome, appended to posts or by

I was especially amused by the obit which followed, and the quotation, "rampant technology will leach the meaning out of life." Are an IPad, blogging, high-speed rail or new medical treatment examples of what was meant by the adjective, "rampant?" Or an online obit? Or reruns of the Mary Tyler Moore show? Our new disease seems to be the old disease, fear of tomorrow.
