Free Range by Bill Whitehead for October 19, 2019

In case you don’t recognize it, this is the famous painting “Nighthawks” by Edward Hopper.

I can just see Disney making a movie inspired by this. An art Gallery where all the paintings come to life. Just like “Night at the Museum”.

“Night at the Museum” was inspired by “Mannequin” made 20 years earlier.

Since Ramie Malik was in one of the Museum movie, I’ll watch it when it comes on….

I won’t say ‘duh’ because there just might be someone who has never heard of or seen this painting ….

Along with a lot other things going on these days, that would be sad

Nighthawks at the diner

Of Emma’s 49er, there’s a rendezvous

Of strangers around the coffee urn tonight

All the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs

Now the paper’s been read

Now the waitress said

Eggs and sausage and a side of toast

Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries

What kind of pie?

.

Eggs and Sausage – Tom Waits

Nice one.

Where is Marilyn and James?

I prefer my “Window Shopping” parody of this, with an alligator on the sidewalk outside looking at the birds inside… :)
