Learn To Say F**k You
In 1965, Sol LeWitt wrote fellow sculptor Eva Hesse a four-page letter of encouragement, urging her to stop doubting herself and to simply continue making her work. Despite the fact that some would consider their friendship unlikely, the two sculptors were close friends and wrote to each other frequently about their ideas, work, and personal lives from 1960 until Hesse's death ten years later. Often quoted, LeWitt's letter has become a source of inspiration and a vote of confidence for many artists the world over.
Producer Aaron Rose (Beautiful Losers, Become a Microscope) worked with punk rock band Rancid to remake LeWitt's words into a bold and boisterous song. With wild and wavy LeWitt-inspired animation, this video energetically embodies the message of its writer.

Tiny Bradshaw wrote this tune. Tiny was a bandleader in the Forties. Worked with some great R&B and Jazz players. By the time 1944 rolled in, his music was steeped in blues and jump.

San Antonio Texas' Doug Sahm had a handle on many musical styles. Blues, rock & roll, western swing, cajun, or polkas. He and his bandmates did them all, WELL, in his own Texan style.

"Dinah" was written by three vaudevillian songwriters. Two of the three, Lewis And Young, wrote "Rock A Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody". Joe Young wrote lyrics to "In A Shanty, In Old Shanty Town", a hit in 1932.
