"So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" by Simon and Garfunkel

this song means so much to me. to see the video is alot more. i wish everyone could keep these songs in their own archive. lol

Great video. I'm a big Simon and Garfunkel fan, and Frank Lloyd Wright is my biggest inspiration. I wanna be an architect (:

I've been to his home in Arizona,Talise West. Some of those photos had pictures of it. Beautiful place.

NeaFrea: you have FLLW's relationship with Bauhaus exactly backwards. Bauhaus was very much inspired by FLLW. Many of the structures you see in this video were built years before the birth of the Bauhaus movement. Sorry.

@WhitIV You may call shadow light, or evil devine, and of course you can claim that FLW was not inspired by German Bauhaus. This is what "Zeitgeist" really means. I call a spade a spade!

@NeaFrea 1919: Walter Gropius founds the Bauhaus school in Weimer. 1904: Unity Temple (the first building in this video @0:15) opens. 1909: Robie House (@2:58) occupied. BTW: The building @0:49 is NOT a FLLW building. Perhaps that threw people off... Factually and Respectfully, WhitIV

Let me guess, you quoted from ... wikipedia? ;-) Otherwise I would highly appreciate to obtain knowledge about a decent source. Best wishes, NeaFrea

@NeaFrea Encyclopedia Britannica. Good enough?

@WhitIV Post-WWII edition? That explains everything, indeed.

@NeaFrea Actually, I assume you can find Encyclopedia Britannica online. But the Post-WW2 print version would have sufficed. Bauhaus was already well-established by then. Of course, Frank Lloyd Wright was 78 in 1945, so he is well-covered by then as well. Go to Flickr. Search for Frank Lloyd Wright Home Studio. Take a look at the pictures there. The home was built by FLLW in 1889, and the studio was added in 1898. Review those pictures, then tell us again how Wright was influenced by Bauhaus.
