| 6/25/26 | ![]() Crotty in the Technicolor Rave Taxi in Mexico City! | After an idyllic 3-0 victory over the poor saps from The Czech Republic—which I witnessed first-hand three rows from the Azteca Stadium field at about the forty yard line—I trudged about 30 minutes past the immense security zone and at least 2000 cops and came upon this delightful older gent who commandeered a wildly colored taxi. I overpaid him 1200 pesos for the 90 minute ride back to the Four Seasons, but it was well worth it to be in the company of groovy techno as the city celebrated Team Mexico’s victory all around.

| 9/6/25 | ![]() The Turning Torso: an epic work of modern architecture. | The Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden—often mistakenly called the “Twisted Torso”—is one of the most striking feats of contemporary architecture in Europe and a defining symbol of the city’s post-industrial reinvention. Designed by the celebrated Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2005, the 190-meter, 54-story residential tower remains the tallest building in Scandinavia. Its form was inspired by one of Calatrava’s own sculptures, a white marble piece entitled Twisting Torso, which abstracted the motion of a human body spiraling upward. By translating this sculptural gesture into inhabitable space, Calatrava brought together engineering innovation, biomorphic design, and livable urban form in a way that few skyscrapers have achieved.The building is composed of nine five-story cubes stacked atop one another, each slightly rotated relative to the one below, resulting in a 90-degree twist from base to apex. This gradual spiraling not only creates its dramatic silhouette but also requires highly sophisticated structural engineering. A central concrete core stabilizes the building, while an external steel frame supports the twisting façade panels. The façade itself is clad in glass and aluminum, capturing the shifting light of the Öresund Strait and reflecting Malmö’s maritime character. The geometry ensures that no two apartments are identical, providing residents with a unique relationship between interior space and exterior views.Beyond its architectural daring, the Turning Torso represents Malmö’s economic and cultural transformation. Once a declining shipbuilding hub, the city reimagined its waterfront as Västra Hamnen (“the Western Harbor”), a district built around principles of sustainability and modern urbanism. The tower became the linchpin of this regeneration, serving as both a literal and figurative beacon for Malmö’s ambitions to transition from a heavy industry-based economy toward knowledge-based economies, green technology, and cosmopolitan living. Its prominence on the skyline is matched by its role as an emblem of Sweden’s commitment to innovative, environmentally conscious design—Malmö, after all, is frequently ranked among Europe’s greenest cities.Today, the Turning Torso is not only a residential complex but also a global architectural landmark that attracts visitors, design students, and professionals in engineering alike. It stands as an example of how architecture can embody both human form and urban aspiration, linking art with function, sculpture with shelter. As Calatrava himself intended, it suggests a “living body” in motion, perpetually spiraling upward—a fitting metaphor for Malmö’s own trajectory in the 21st century. Few buildings so effectively combine aesthetic daring, structural ingenuity, and civic symbolism, making the Turning Torso one of the great architectural icons of the new millennium.Team a trip to see the Turning Torso with a stop at Kallis, a tremendously cool cold plunge in Malmö. This historic clothing-optional, open-air cold bath house is unlike anything you have ever seen. It features opportunities to take the plunge from multiple piers, including a plunge into the cold Baltic Sea, as well as nude bathing, several saunas (one is co-ed), and stunning views of the sea and the Turning Torso.

| 9/5/25 | ![]() Copenhagen bike culture. | Copenhagen has more bikes than cars. More than 62% of residents bike to school, university, or work. Though 6 million people live here and 330 million live in the U.S., as many people commute by bicycle in greater Copenhagen as cycle to work in the United States. The result is a large metropolis gratifyingly free of air pollution, though the bicyclists are a bit righteous about getting in their lane.Time for the U.S. to get its bike act together.Thanks for reading Crotty Farm Report!

| 9/5/25 | ![]() Golden Showers. | Gullfoss, or "Golden Falls," is a spectacular two-tiered waterfall in southwest Iceland, formed by the glacial meltwater from the Hvítá river, which originates from the Langjökull glacier. The waterfall derives its name from the golden-brown color the water can take on during a bright, sunny day. It is a major attraction on Iceland's popular Golden Circle tour (which we took) and is known for its powerful flow, misty environment, and the potential for rainbows on sunny days (we caught a double rainbow). The waterfall is a protected site, saved from hydroelectric development by the early 20th-century efforts of Sigríður Tómasdóttir, Iceland's first environmentalist.Enjoy the Crotty video!Crotty Farm Report is a reader-supported publication.

| 8/27/25 | ![]() Disney Hall, Bunker Hill, and Karen Bass. | With hints of his Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall is to die for. It wasn’t cheap––$270 million for the Hall, and another $110 million for parking. But this world-class facility, the gem of LA, is worth every penny. With free entrance for viewing from 10 AM to 2 PM, this is a must-see stop on any proper tour of the City of Angels. While in the area, visitors should also take in the extraordinary Broad Museum (a tremendous showcase of modern art), Angel’s Flight (the world's shortest railway), Grand Central Market, City Hall (the Dragnet Building), the exquisite Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (where I attended The Oscars back in the day), the Bradbury Building (where Blader Runner was shot), the Conrad Hotel (I stay in room 2318), and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Bunker Hill should be a tremendous landmark, akin to Beverly Hills, attracting LA’s best and brightest. However, the state’s maddening low-income housing mandates and the Mayor’s failure to clean out homeless encampments, not to mention criminals, doom its prospects. President Trump needs to come in with 1000 National Guard, and scrub the streets, completely clear out the homeless, handcuff the criminals, and deport the illegals. Only then will LA’s Bunker Hill live up to its promise. With the mediocre, dimwitted Woke tool Karen Bass at the helm, this is never going to happen. Still, Disney Hall and Bunker Hill are worth a visit, if only by day.Crotty Farm Report is a reader-supported publication.

| 7/28/25 | ![]() The day the music died: the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. | On February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, along with Ritchie Valens, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and pilot Roger Peterson, died in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. The musicians had chartered a plane after experiencing heating problems with their tour bus. The single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza crashed shortly after takeoff, and all four were killed instantly due to head trauma.* The Day the Music Died:The crash became known as "The Day the Music Died" and was later immortalized in Don McLean's song "American Pie".* The Flight:Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper were on their way to Moorhead, Minnesota, for the next stop on their "Winter Dance Party" tour.* Weather Conditions:The weather conditions were poor with snow and gusty winds, and the pilot, Roger Peterson, was not adequately briefed on the worsening weather.* Crash Site:The plane crashed in a cornfield, and the impact ejected the musicians from the aircraft, while the pilot was found within the wreckage.* Cause of Death:The county coroner stated that all four fatalities were due to severe head trauma.* Pilot Error:Investigations pointed to pilot error, including inadequate weather information and potential spatial disorientation due to unfamiliarity with the aircraft's instruments.* Impact:The crash had a profound impact on the music world, marking a tragic turning point for rock and roll and leading to various tributes and memorials.Crotty Farm Report is a reader-supported publication.
