Another Minnesotan musician! Well, born in Hawaii, then moved to Pittsburgh ... but to grow up in Minnesota. Mason Jennings's musical career started and blossomed in the Twin Cities. After being rejected many times, a musician who began and found his sound in Minneapolis. From a challenging beginning to being awarded a start at our local hall of fame, yes, the First Avenue's wall of fame. Mason Jennings caught my attention; his work is excellent. He also seems candid and passionate when he chats about his work and career.

The Franconia Sculpture garden is one of these things that belong to Minnesota -even if located at the very border with Wisconsin. An untrained eye may be surprised, shocked. "What is this sub-Californication piece of art doing here?" Yet, reasonable thoughts because being at this sculpture garden is like walking in the moon after getting high with a cocktail of cocaine with acetone. Huge monuments made of trash scavenger hunts and treasures of unknown times. Unreal abstract and surrealistic art made of shapes and colors that you cannot find in nature. Hundred of sculpture and resident artist contributing with an community project that began in 1996. This is Minnesota.

We came up with this story. Saturday eve. Itchy feet, dry throats. Someone next to me holds my beer. At this place, my friends broke in -just as a way to say. They kept the door open but forgot to close the dam tap when they left! Unspoken shame. Those who leave the tap open after leaving the bar have no manners. Let's get back in business. To Minnesota. A meeting of ducks, yes, it was. Greasing and drinking, they were in Minnesota. Doing duck's stuff, you know, because Minneapolis, Minnesota brought them together. But this is not a tale about friendship. Oh, no, my fellow reader. This is a tale about the conflagration that burst between them. Duck against duck, taking sides. Is Minneapolis a place worth living? They asked and pull in rage.
