historic portrait of the death of Jean Paul Marat by David
I've long had a fascination and an affinity for Marat as an historical character.
Here is some history of the painting
I also love the many-leveled play Marat/Sade
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marat/Sade
so, I recorded some of the music from it
listen to it here
What this country needs right now are some Jacobins

Doreen you remind me of Laurie Anderson. Ever hear of her? I especially like her song "Strange Angels".

thanks for listening, M1
you have to remember that the characters in the play, including the musicians, are inmates in an insane asylum
