We all know Meryl Streep can sing, but she's not exactly a guitarist. In her latest film, Ricki and the Flash, the 66-year-old actress plays an aging rocker who attempts to reconcile with her neglected kids. To be convincing, Streep spent six months learning to play the guitar and according to director Jonathan Demme, she sings and plays on all 10 tracks featured in the Diablo Cody-penned flick. A new video, below, shows the multiple Oscar winner getting a guitar lesson from Neil Young, who also happens to be an aging rocker.
Just discovered Gil Bruvel's art and my mind is officially blown. He turns wood into pure motion and human forms into something otherworldly. Gil's mastery of his chosen medium is undeniable. You find yourself leaning in, squinting, trying to figure out how he does it. He's a master illusionist and he challenges us to question what we see, to look beyond the obvious, and to embrace the fluidity of existence.
