The statue of the "Bronze Fonz" was unveiled Tuesday.  Here's a link to a short jsonline article.

I don't care what anyone else thinks; I think it's art.  Why?  Because when I look at it, it inspires feelings in me.

Laughter: Because it's a Bronze Fonz for goodness sakes!

Nostalgia: Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were some of my favorite T.V. shows growing up.  I think the shows were on Tuesday nights at 7 and 7:30 respectively. Much better than the rather short-lived spin-off Joanie and Chachi (But then again what pre-teen/teenage girl didn't have a crush on Scott Baio?!)  Funnier than Mork and Mindy, IMO.

Melancholy:  Oh, for the days when my only concern was getting my homework done, so I could watch T.V. before I went to bed.

So, some may look down their noses at it, seeing it as just a cheesy statue, but it makes me smile, it makes me think, it makes me feel happy, it makes me feel wistful.  I'd say that's art.  (As a bonus, I don't have to contemplate what my "perception" of the piece is.)

Christmas card photo op?  Hmm...

I have had a crush on Johnny Depp ever since watching my first episode of "21 Jump Street," and now, it has been officially announced that he and Christian Bale will be in Wisconsin to film the movie "Public Enemies." 

Unfortunately, Brookfield will probably not be on the list of filming locales.  Sigh.
