Absolutely great human, but it is easier to be on the government's shit list when you are rich and famous. Those who held to their ideals in face of personal ruin deserve our praise even more. I'm pretty sure that Newman himself would agree with that.
@LucilleMcGillicuddy: mine too!mr.'s is Elizabeth Taylor circa Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. oddly enough, we agreed on this while watching the movie, starring both Newman and Taylor.
@GirlFailer: and black pepper pretzels, and chocolate sandwich cookies, and sockaroonie pasta sauce, and Lemonade, and Sweet Enough cereal.....nom nom nom nom
@SevenNationArmy hates summer: I'll disagree here. There are several Banksy's in New Orleans, all relevant. Two were done on a friend's property, with permission, and are outstanding. Both have increased his property values by 30%.
The works did have to be covered w/ plexiglass because one was vandalized.
All art is subjective, but I know graffitti when I see it.
@SevenNationArmy hates summer: Really? I can see not caring what happens to random tags (although I think they are quite beautiful in their own way) but Banksy's been in galleries and shit. I think he's very creative and certainly worthy of the moniker "artist".
Graffiti gets a bad rap (even though, IMO, it doesn't deserve it), but Banksy is barely a graffiti artist, more of a muralist.

I wonder which one leads to the other? Or is this a chicken and egg sort of thing?

I don't see it in Banksy.

Wheel of morality lesson learned? Always be 1000% positive that you actually want that tattoo, and that you want it in that location.
