Mariana Palova


Art Appreciation

It was a digital painting of a woman with a horn on her head and a candle levitating from her palms as she walks along M.C. Escher-esque steps that caught my attention.

The artwork is by the talented Mexican artist, Mariana Palova. She is know for her captivating and imaginative images that is presented with vibrant colors.

You can find more of the self-taught visual artist's work HERE.

The Doors - Light My Fire


Music Appreciation

If you're my age, then you probably remember watching Val Kilmer depict Jim Morrison in the 1991 film The Doors and performing Light My Fire on the Ed Sullivan Show (you can watch it HERE.) Although the depiction is a little over dramatized, perhaps to show more emotion to the event, it does provide a sense of what occurred behind the scenes of the Ed Sullivan Show.

Before performing Light My Fire, which was written by Robby Krieger, live on The Ed Sullivan Show, the band was asked to change the line "girl, we couldn't get much higher" to "girl, we couldn't get much better," because of fear that the original lyrics referenced drug use. Jim Morrison, however, sang the original lyric, which you can watch the original HERE. You can also see the story behind creating the song HERE.

Light My Fire spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in late July 1967.
