 Barney & Friends - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barney and Friends is a popular children's television show produced in the United States, mainly aimed at preschoolers.
Barney is a purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex who conveys learning through jumping around singing childrens' songs with a friendly, optimistic attitude ("I love you, you love me, we're a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too!").
Although the original videos were a modest regional success, Barney only became a mega hit when the character and format were revamped for series television and picked up by the Public Broadcasting System, debuting as "Barney and Friends" in 1992.

 Barney's Beanery: History
Barney's Beanery is all of these rolled into one, an esoteric and inclusionary delight in an increasingly exclusive tinsel town.
Barney's Beanery became one of several bomb shelters in the local area for what was now becoming nationally hyped as the hippie movement.
Firmly ensconced in the comfort zone with a bearded, longhaired clientele, employees at Barney's Beanery were shocked and saddened to hear that after a typical night of partying at the bar, their friend, Janis Joplin, was found dead at the nearby Landmark Hotel, where she had overdosed on heroin.

 Guggenheim Collection - Artist - Barney - Biography
Barney’s ritualistic actions unfold in hybrid spaces that evoke at once a training camp and medical research laboratory, equipped as they are with wrestling mats and blocking sleds, sternal retractors and speculums, and a range of props often cast in, or coated with, viscous substances such as wax, tapioca, and petroleum jelly.
Barney’s exploration of the body draws upon an athletic model of development, in which growth occurs only through restraint: the muscle encounters resistance, becomes engorged and is broken down, and in healing becomes stronger.
Barney has been included in many international exhibitions, such as Documenta in Kassel in 1992, the 1993 and 1995 Biennial exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and Aperto ’93 of the 48th Venice Biennale, for which he was awarded the Europa 2000 Prize.

 Barney the Purple Dinosaur vs. Ensign Wesley Crusher @ WWWF Grudge Match
At this Barney cuts loose from years of sugar poisoning and insulin injections, and with a stentorian roar calls back on the memories of his 65-million-year-dead ancestors and hacks Wesley (who was so stupid he just stood there after burying his chainsaw in Barney) into a heap of blood-spurting gore.
Barney, with the hardwired smile on his face contorted in a rictus of fear and hatred reaches across, only to discover that he can't hold onto the saw with one hand and reach the ripcord with the other.
Barney was the first to fall helplessly to the mat, landing on his back while his chainsaw flew precariously through the air.

 Self-Portraiture Meets Mythology: Matthew Barney Talks About His "Cremaster Cycle"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
But as Barney's canvas expands over the course of the films -- if one views them in the order in which they were made, starting with part four and ending with part three -- the intoxicating power of his perversely original universe grows inescapable.
Barney: I think I was more concerned when they were released as chapters, one by one, that they didn't have the self-defense mechanism that they have now, as a complete group.
Barney: As the films stood on their own more, in the case of "Cremaster 2" and "3," it sort of elevated my interest in trying to make them resonate as films while still functioning within the cycle as object makers.

 eyestorm - article - Matthew Barney
Barney was born in San Francisco in 1967 and studied medicine before becoming an artist, an education that explains something of the precision of his invented anatomies and the anatomical title of his best known work, the 'Cremaster' series.
Barney's 'Cremaster' is a massively ambitious project centred on five films, of which four have been shown to date - Cremaster 4 in 1994, Cremaster 1 in 1995-96, Cremaster 5 in 1997 and Cremaster 2 in 1999.
Barney's more recent work has something in common with Cindy Sherman's masquerading self-portrait photographs or the cinema and performance art of Jack Smith - but he takes their exploration of selfhood and sexuality and somehow makes it asexual, post-sexual.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Barney Google
Barney (who was about half as tall as the other characters) enjoyed horse races, prize fights and similar contests, and was nagged by "a wife three times his size" (as the song goes) for it.
On July 17, 1922, Barney happened to be standing on the sidewalk in front of the Pastime Jockey Club, when an argument inside got physical and a man came sailing out the window, knocking Barney to the sidewalk.
There was an animated version of Barney Google in the 1930s, produced by the Charles Mintz Screen Gems Studio — the one that had earlier failed to capture any of the wit or charm of Krazy Kat.

And to add insult to injury three boys (10, 11 and 12 years old) pummeled and attacked, a Barney the Dinosaur impersonator at a K-Mart grand opening in Galveston, Texas in 1993.
