hippies, hamlet, heroin

which would you rather see -- and hear the story behind?

a trumped up, bullshit wittman sampler?

or perhaps one of the works of ray materson, who, while serving over a decade in prison for drug related crimes, took apart socks and used the thread to make miniature tapestries.

this is the closest i have ever come to tears over needlework. but at the same time, i didn't know that you were allowed to wear such brightly colored socks in prison! where'd he get all the purple?
