Two Wheels To Nowhere

humansofnewyork: “When I tried to hug her, she’d tell me it was too hot for hugs. So I learned to stop trying. We never had conversations. I thought it was normal. It was all I knew. I always thought the relationship between a mother and a child was about giving and receiving orders. But when…

rollersinstinct: Stunning pencil work by Mark Everson. I’m guessing the OCD that drives the artist to draw in such detail may also drive him to ride a bike with no real destination.

humansofnewyork: “My parents disappeared during the last dictatorship. They were political activists. My father was taken first in 1977. My mother was taken a year later during the World Cup. We were standing in a public square, and two cars stopped, and they grabbed me and my mother. They let me go. But my mother…

Forty years ago today Rumours was released. It became Fleetwood Mac’s most successful album selling 45 million copies. Much of the creative magic in the music came from the tumultuous relationships in the band during the recording sessions in 1976. You can hear the heartache and new hope so clearly in the music. At eleven…
