No Stars For The Eclipse
Copyright by Robert Levin, MLevin5844@aol.com, 6/20/02

One weathercaster called it a "must-see light and shadow show by the
Old Master Himself." But I can't say the recent solar eclipse was worthy
of the recommendation.
Not even total, and staged (in my location anyway) behind a thick
cloud cover that served only to diffuse the vivid contrasts essential to
any dramatic effect, the "Old Master" might have been faxing it in from
deep space somewhere for all the incandescence it could claim. Quite
frankly, as light shows go, I thought more interesting work was being
done at the Electric Circus back in the sixties.
Now let's please not have any misunderstandings. I'm aware that I'm
criticizing the performance of a venerable figure who, over the eons and
in every conceivable form and category, has compiled an impressive
oeuvre. If I have to confess that a lot of His stuff is not to my taste,
that I find much of it heavy-handed or impenetrable….
