bw The Artist Si Grazie
Barbara Manning wrote and recorded an original song as a tribute to mathematicians like Cantor, Goedel, Hilbert, Cohen and Good Will Hunting.
It’s hard to be the only one who knows something that’s true
To stand alone as colleagues groan
They’ll never see as you
Though God maybe infinity
There’s countless more in space
Infinities of sizes, Infinities of place
CH: Cantor loved a good debate His data did the talking Ripping math almost in half Cantor’s mind was rocking
His notion of dimensions where numbers reign or kneel
No greater power than Naturals
No less power for Reals
Though God maybe infinity
There’s countless more in space
Infinities of sizes, Infinities of place
CH:
Cantor loved a good debate
His data did the talking
Ripping math almost in half
Cantor’s mind was rocking
Depressed, Cantor changed careers
He argued Bacon wrote Shakespeare
Left his lists of ordered sets
That no one cared, his one regret
Playing on his violin
A sanitorium kept him in
He knew it before anyone
He didn’t live to see it done
CH:
Ripping math almost in half
Ripping math almost in half
Ripping math almost in half
Cantor’s mind was rocking

free download and streaming at Lions With Wings bandcamp, an imprint of Earthwise Productions — Paul J Cohen was a friend of mine, a math professor at Stanford. In 1964 he solved a problem about CH that was on David Hilbert’s list of problems for the new math century. And Barbara Manning, sometimes now known as Barbara Manning Vargas, or Ms Vargas to her students, was a Matador and Heydey and Innerstate recording artists as SF Seals — that’s my headline pun. She also recorded for Earthwise and Lions With Wings an Elliot Smith cover tho not the one from “Good Will Hunting”.
Barbara Manning, partly in honor of Valentine’s Day, did three songs for Lions With Wings: the orginal song “Cantor’s Mind Was Rocking”, a cover of Elliot Smith “Twilight” and a cover of Edgar Winter “Dying to Live” — love, death, madness, what’s the difference?
I met Barbara Manning years ago, May 5, 1995 to be exact, when SF Seals played the Cubberley Sessions, my indie ’90s music series at the old Cubberley High School slash Cubberley Community Center. Soon enough we will have her play these new songs at The Mitch.
Edit Add shortly there after I am multitasking between watching my fellow Dartmouth 11 is Jake Tapper on CNN and some correspondence and watching the impeachment trial and I realize I might be confusing Bruce cast door who I mentioned above and another attorney named insertVan der Veen’s —-Sean example or what was he doing touching his head as he drink water that’s not really part of my heritage anyways I meant to say that if I am confusing to Philadelphia guys who look alike in a Not necessarily bright enough to have gotten an a in professor star zingers course of Dartmouth and I admit I barely passed it if I am confusing Vanderveen in cast door it is like picking up your shoe and sniffing it to see if you stepped in dog shit or just something hard to scrape off like gum
1) San Jose gets twice as much revenue from business tax than from TOT. They get $70 m per year in business tax. We get zero. It’s possible that we would get more than that, despite the population differences, as we have Tesla, Amazon and the like.
2) 1050 Page Mill a new build by Sand Hill Peter Pau, is the 8th greatest lease, at 170,000 square feet, between Dec. 1, 2019 and November 30, 2020. Palo Alto has #4, 3000 Hanover, 250,000 sf also SHP; #16 607 Hanson 110,000 Stanford, Stanford Industrial Park — tho SHP is a broker — ???; #20 1501 Page Mill also Stanford, 100,000 sf; 1050 stood out because I went to some of the meetings, and wrote and maybe spoke up about it. Video games replacing devices.
3) Richard Florida, the creative class, still relevant? Was he ever?
oh there’s a bonus track on the back of the tear sheet for 2) above, ranking 25 property management firms: CW, CBRE, Essex, Ventana #7, Sobrato of MV #10. More later
I would have hired Jenny Lewis rather than Dolly Parton.
George Shultz served five Republican presidents; Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush.
But his greatest accomplishment, in my book, was the pipeline he created between The White House and Chef Chu’s.
I posted to this effect yesterday on the Palo Alto Weekly website and was censored and deleted.
(And, yes, partly in his honor, we had take out last night)
Let’s rename the park, for a Black man.
We’re all equal, not a sequel.
With 2020 hindsight, we’d repair the funk
All the other parks, they want the darkness.
We charge the poor to park the car,
but we don’t tax the man, and drive Tesla.
Poet laureate, poet laureate;
the epitome of literacy.
Life’s a brief candle, but he lit it.
He hit it, he didn’t shit it.
For his game, he’s like the Willie Mays or Willie Mac,
the Barry or the Bobby, meanings clearly or at bottom.
We can’t change our past, but we can change our minds.
There’s more than 1s and 0s, there’s more than of’s and “ahvs”
A temple of listening. To see it glistening.
Let’s rename the park. Let’s rename the park.
aeiou! aeiou!
We want to mingle, to hit a single.
Even our squirrels think the new rules are uncool. They’re not dullards.
