Modern country's most radical mouthpiece, this Texas-bred author,
playwright and songwriter set the stage in the mid-80s for much
of the roots-rock revolution to come.
A vocal critic of both the death penalty and war-mongering politicos,
Earle has over the past decade emerged from an opiate-fueled period
of personal and professional turmoil to a rare position of critical
and leftist popular acclaim.
A true force of nature and perpetual pain in the ass.
Barbara Eden
A little piece of paradise in a handy gilded bottle,
Eden's career high point remains the title role in
the television series "I Dream of Jeannie".
Wish number one? Let us inside.
Harold Edgerton
Photographic wizard of speed & time whose wondrous
way with a strobe and shutter provided a rare glimpse
into the blurry workings of physical mechanics.
If only he was still around to bedevil David Copperfield.
Albert Einstein
Bizarre German-born physicist whose disheveled appearance
served as strange balast to an incredible dexterity of mind.
We'd be more than willing to help tie his shoes
if he'd only go over that relativity thing again.
Will Elder
Our favorite among Mad magazine's earliest artists,
Elder's panels consistently delighted with all manner
of visual puns and unbridled invention.
That his has yet to become a hosehold name is one of the
past century's most glaring errors of judgment.
Duke Ellington
Of all the art form's pioneers, this ivory-tickling
gentleman continues to stand among the very best.
Extremely talented, hugely influential and all that jazz.
Eraserhead
Bizarro director David Lynch's supreme masterwork
of mystical vision and cosmic vibration.
"He's... premature."
Max Ernst
German painter & poet whose peculiar talents
resulted in some of the most curiously strong
surrealist imagery ever put to canvas.
Evergreen, Colorado
Friendly, laid-back mountain town
provided the rustic, glowing
backdrop for our first honeymoon.
Rocky mountain high indeed.
Evil Dead 2
Sam Raimi's cinematic rollercoaster ride outdoes its predecessor
in deftly blending supernatural horror, exteremely graphic carnage
and grade-school humor in equally extravagant, stomach-churning doses.
Grin and bear it.
