No but I do have DirecTV

My buddy mentioned some promotion where subscribers(new?) can get it for really cheap or free or something like that. Also something about being able to stream on PS3

Btw, my wife and I went to a Picasso exhibit in town. I was duly impressed by the sheer variety the guy expressed: media, technique, expressive approach, etc. Some artists you can tell by their characteristic brushstrokes even. Picasso? That guy did everything from slather oils to sugar-lift aquatint to bronze to using a metal edge to finely scrape oils on a canvas. Impressive stuff.

My father has been long retired, but he was an artist/commercial artist.

Art can be interesting if expressed in the right context. For example, the BBC program Simon Schama's The Power of Art did a fantastic job of giving historical context and reference for a few key pieces and their artists.

Of the more modern ones Picasso is one of the few I admire.
