This week: The Kirkland Museum visits an art controversy in Denver’s past, Christo gets permission to dress the Arkansas River in drapery, and Denver Post lists things to do in Colorado before you die. (Yes, guest on the Diatribe made that list. Ok, not really…) Co-hosts Josh Johnson, Jared Jacang Maher and Vanessa Martinez are joined by special guest Maya Wright of the Kirkland Museum.
And you are welcome: You won’t hear “Colorado Girls” on this or any other Diatribe. Forever. The new theme song is “O, Queen City” by Denver band Houses. You can purchase the full song here.
After some thought, can we just stop using the word “hip” in all its forms? I mean, once an “insider” (say, mainstream media) calls something “hip,” it most definitely is no longer, if it ever was.
John Leland wrote a pretty great book on the history of this once meaningful word: http://www.amazon.com/Hip-History-John-Leland/dp/0060528176.
