Innovative Art Contest Explores Climate Change
![]() |
Submit art that explores our relationship with the climate – from clean energy to pollution-free oceans – the choice is yours. |
LOS ANGELES – The Gulf oil disaster is but one example of the ways in which our fossil fuel economy is impacting the planet we call home. But as bad as this catastrophe is, the specter of global climate change looms even larger as a threat to sustaining life on Earth. Despite overwhelming evidence – species extinction and dwindling water supplies to mass migrations and mega-storms – the public is still unclear what climate really means for them.

Meet Me at Ramon's sings Marc Pettigrew
Singer/songwriter Marc Pettigrew sang me this tune that he had been working on as we drove to El Grullo to catch some mariachi music. The talented guitarist and noted tequila drinker got around to recording it with Lalo in Barra de Navidad. On his way home he stopped by Oro and played it.
A copy was ripped, pictures added and this video was created.

(In the mid-1970s Roberto Bolaño helped found the Infrarealist movement in Mexico. This movement would turn up in his Savage Detectives tome as the Visceral Realists. What follows is a translation by Tim Pilcher of the First Infrarealist Manifesto.)
