10.13.2007: LA (Part I)

Dinner at the home of Susan and Leonard Nimoy. They are big art collectors and a Joseph Beuys piece in their living room features a photo of the Beuys clan sitting in a room all gazing up at the TV, giving it their full attention. They’re watching Star Trek.

Francesco Vezzoli, the artist, had witnessed my rendition of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” at a concert in Milano, and described it as an “intellectual rehabilitation” of the song. That was nice to hear.
