Historical Reference To Food

Just recently, I had a friend point out an interesting aticle to me.  It is about art imitating life.  The famous fresco of The Last Supper has been copied, but the sizes of the plates have been changed to reflect the changing palete of the culture regarding their views towards food.  So in this world of supersized food choices, this attitude is not new at all.  Gluttony has been been around for many years.  This is a problem in which I face on the road to losing weight.  The temptation is great sometimes.  I am in the process of gaining new skills to eat properly before the surgery.  I have success one day and setback the next day.  But, I am on the road.   Now for a little pick me up of some little ditties, I offer these tunes by R. Crumb & his Cheap Suit Serenader's "My Girl's Pussy."    Here is another good number: "Cheap Suit Special."  If you have never heard of R. Crumb, he is a cartoonist that was big in the underground era in San Franciso in the 1960's.  He has also done the art work for a Grateful Dead cd as well as one for Big Brother and The Holding Company.
