Los presidentes de Estados Unidos en Houston

In all the places I have lived, one major thing has been lacking: concrete sculptures of the Beatles and the US Presidents. After 32 years of frantic searching, I finally found them in Houston. NO MORE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS!

Apparently local artist David Adickes recognized a need sorely lacking in America and responded by scultping 7,000 lb. busts of the American Presidents, as well as 70-foot tall statues of John, Paul, George and Ringo. David Adickes should be given millions of dollars and access to everything he needs so he can create more concrete sculptures of my favorite things. David, if you are reading this, please start with the following list:
  • NBA legend Michael Jordan
  • Beetlejuice
  • Every stage of Michael Jackson’s transformation, from cute black child in the Jackson 5 to scary white pop artist with a skeleton nose
  • Johnny Depp in the following roles: Capt. Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, the Mad Hatter, and Rango. LOL, just kidding about Rango. That movie was TERRIBLE.
  • My favorite band of all time: Rage Against the Machine
  • Jessica Rabbit from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
  • Every stage of Britney Spears’ life, from cute teenager to white trash mom
  • And last but not least, Houston Astros outfielder George Springer

Below are some pictures I took of the presidents and the Beatles. What a fun day. If you live in Houston, go check them out…

Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland, George Washington and Harry Truman are digging the groovy Beatles tunes. When Jefferson and Washington get into arguments about who had a better presidency, Paul and John break into "All You Need is Love." Cuz love is all you need, Mr. Presidents.   
Benji Harrison and I belong to the same fraternity. Phi Delta Theta for aye!
I wonder what Calvin Coolidge (far left) and Martin Van Buren (fourth from left) are staring at. 
Pano view of the sculpture park. Plenty of space for my suggestions above!
Sunday Selfie with G-Dub. He asked me what a selfie was. I just laughed and told him to STFU you old fart
Barry O is a St. Louis Cardinals fan! Who knew?!?!? I imagine his neighbors in Chicago are already spray painting racial epithets on his garage right now...
Bill Clinton did NOT have sexual relations with that woman. Which means he had sexual relations with that woman. Politicians...smh
Abe in profile. Looks just like on the penny!
