three minute heroes

Pop music - as disposable as a paper cup and as exciting as a love affair.

This gallery is dedicated to the monsters of pop - I salute you.

It is of course, not great art.....mostly just like pop, it's meant as nothing more than a fun look at world of pop - no more, no less.

After all, most of that is also mindless drivel (oops, sorry, banter).

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most fools do. - Dale Carnegie

Pete - thanks for your kind comment - shame about your friends.

These reminds me of a picture I once took which I daringly titled 'Sun is shining', featuring the sun. Shining. Wonderful work Linda. I found 'Yes' especially moving.

Guest		11-Apr-2006 03:01
Wonderful imagination and creativity! Voted. I'm delighted to have discovered your galleries.

Stunning idea, wonderfully presented. You are doing it so well, Linda, with a great talent and heart. I give it my vote. Welcome to see my gallery, a little bit similar, I guess http://www.pbase.com/jolka/roses_secret_life

Jens Johansen		16-Feb-2006 08:34
Brilliant. I particularly like "Melt" and "Elevation". If you're still taking pics along these lines, I'd love to see how you'd do "All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix, "Walking on the Moon" by the Police or even "Vicar in a Tutu" by the Smiths. Or if you're feeling really surreal, "Frou-frou-Foxes in Midsummer Fires" by the Cocteau Twins...

Thanks for sharing this awesome gallery with us Linda, it was like a breath of fresh Air, some great songs and brilliantly matched pictures. A lot of time and thought has gone into this and it was well worth the effort. Hope Spurs pip Arsenal for 3rd or 4th. CHEERS Adrian

A great idea for a gallery - and some super shots too. Thanks for visiting.

Great work. Had a trip down memory lane reading some of these lyrics - Elvis Costello, Lloyd Cole, Hipsway...

excellent gallery! - no Leonard Cohen?? - glad to see Crowded House up there

Si Kirk		18-Apr-2005 22:33
Super cool gallery Linda, this is an amazing collection and some very cool bads and artists represented here

Guest		17-Feb-2005 21:23
If you take requests, how about 'Black coffee in bed' ??

Guest		16-Feb-2005 19:17
Linda, what a superb idea for a gallery. I have such strong attachments to certain songs, recalling people, events, moods. Sometimes it's the words that are significant, sometimes it can be a riff or a chord change. I'll hope to follow in your footsteps when I can narrow those songs down to a manageable amount - people always tell me that my top 10 songs of all time actually contain about 1000 tracks :O)

Guest		13-Nov-2004 09:48
Brilliant concept...now the question is...do you do requests??? }oP

Michael Emmerich (fotographer)		21-Oct-2004 19:25
I find Your idea to bring lyrics and pictures together very inspiring ! It adds some meaning to the picture and also arouses curiosity about the songs.

Guest		18-Oct-2004 16:10
This is perfect!!

Gayle P. Clement		17-Sep-2004 03:17
Linda, This is a fun gallery! You are so creative and so good technically.

Guest		13-Aug-2004 15:26
I decided to challenge you when I saw this gallery appear... I want you to do a photo of an Any Trouble song! I don't mind which, but the Clive one doesn't count because that's a solo (or duet with Christine Collister) song. Over to you, my genius big sister!!!

Guest		28-Jul-2004 07:01
what a brilliant & novel idea for a gallery. I love it

Tony Dalton		11-Jul-2004 02:28
