  Crazy Horse Memorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument in progress in the Black Hills of South Dakota that when complete will be the world's largest sculpture.
Crazy Horse resisted being photographed, and was deliberately buried where nobody would find his grave.
The entire complex is owned by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, and Ziolkowski's wife and several children remain closely involved with the work, which has no fixed completion date.

 Pablo Picasso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He went through a difficult period after Gilot's departure, coming to terms with his advancing age and his perception that he was an old man, now in his 70s, who was no longer attractive, but rather grotesque to young women.
A number of ink drawings from this period explore this theme of the hideous old dwarf as buffoonish counterpoint to the beautiful young girl, including several from a six-week affair with Geneviève Laporte, who in June 2005 auctioned off the drawings Picasso made of her.
What the figure is exactly is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman or a totally abstract shape.

 music - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The organ was introduced in the 8th century, and in the 9th century, music using a very primitive form of harmony began to be used in churches, with notation gradually developing towards its present form.
In the 11th century counterpoint was introduced, notably at the monastery of St Martial, Limoges, France, and in the late 12th century at Notre-Dame in Paris (by Léonin and Perotin).
In France, their most important contemporaries were François Couperin in keyboard music and Jean-Philippe Rameau in grand opera and ballet; the later operas of Christoph Willibald von Gluck, with their emphasis on dramatic expression, saw a return to the principles of Monteverdi.

 dead horse - Thrash
In the death-tinged thrash that is dead horse, elements of rock, country, jazz and blues coexist with blasting shreds of structure in fragmentary, chromatic and tonally anarchistic heaviness.
When dead horse first hit the scene, metal music was rising from the rock-n-roll excesses of the seventies, following hardcore music into a new extreme of alienated, dissonant, blasting sound.
Thrash migrated either into oblivion or into dead horse styled complexity, where songs are built from often contradicting and multithematic elements and are unified around the interaction of thematic riffing and coordinated melodic vocals that are equally sung as growled or shouted, hardcore style, in a better version of the James Hetfield "power male" vocal.

 LakotaArchives.com - The Lakota, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials 2
Dubbed by many as the 'fifth granite face in the Black Hills', the Crazy Horse Memorial was begun at the request of a respected leader of the Oglala Lakota tribe, in 1947, and has since received mixed reactions form the Lakota, even though it is still a long way off from being completed.
Crazy Horse is a brooding presence, looming up out of the ponderosa pine, his face slowly animating rigid granite stone, staring out towards the prairie.
Using analogy that is commonly used by Lakota involved in the land claim, he compared the Memorial to a defilement of Mecca, the Holy Land, or the Vatican; a desecration of sacred land; and a great dishonour to a man who would never have consented to have had his face carved on sacred stone.

Bob Camac, the longtime trainer for owners Roy and Pat Chapman, was shot to death along with his wife, Maryann, by his stepson on Dec. 6, 2001.
