From Google News this evening–

Now Showing- “Alice in Wonderland”

Red and Black – Michael Prochaska
Tim Burton receives praise for his imaginative constructions
(“Nightmare Before Christmas” was inspired by a dream),
but if you analyze his work on adaptations of classic
children-oriented escapism, whimsical surrealism bears
a ball and chain.

A serenade for Einstein's birthday–

Ball and Chain– Janis Joplin

If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man,
'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact,
as we discovered in the train,
tomorrow never happens, man.
It's all the same fucking day, man.
