"Cool Scannings" consists of things that can be run through the scanner and shared with all the MuseVision community.
This week we kick things off with some postcards and pictures.
Parliament
"Headshop" style postcard, circa '71. Found at second hand bookshop.
These musicians produced an exciting style of music that was often ignored and misunderstood, while a generation gave a fortune to lesser talents and outright mediocrities.
The lyrics to the song stand out after all these years with renewed meaning.
"Fantasy is reality in the world today,
Well, I'll keep hangin' in there,
It's the only way."
Thank you, Parliament. If these lyrics were true enough in the 1970's, they are a certainty today.

Today's scannings include two postcards of women reading. People in the act of reading appear to be physically still, yet, the images suggest a real sense of inner movement.
