viktor zaretsky -- "carnival" (ca. 1985)
"zaretsky was a 20th-century ukrainian artist. as well as his wife, alla horska, he was one of the 'sixtiers.' this is a name given in ukraine to the 1960s group of artists who rejected the principles of social realism with their creativity and refused to let their artworks (paintings, poems, plays, etc.) serve the interests of the soviet authorities" ... nataliia pecherska
"well i've walked these streets in a carnival of sights to see all the cheap thrill-seekers the vendors and the dealers they crowded around me" ... natalie merchant
"and the good samaritan, he's dressing, he's getting ready for the show he's going to the carnival tonight on desolation row" ... bob dylan
"i once worked for the circus, but that's all in the past the deaf ring leader, and ominous clowns, were always good for laughs the parade of wordless volumes written with invisible ink kept me busy until 5 o'clock when i could finally get a drink you'd probably never ever guess but i was sober once long ago and cataloged harvard women down on desolation row" ... al janik
