Both of Behmer's works are called "Prometheus" (the latter, "Prometheus (Stefan George)") The curators sharply contrast Behmer's charming, folksy imagery with Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1976 slapstick comedy Satansbraten (Satan's Brew), presented here on a video monitor along with film stills, in which a frustrated writer adopts a high camp image and surrounds himself with male prostitutes to model himself on George.
Shellyne Rodriguez's two contributions are in keeping with the vintage mood and demotic sensibility of Molina's Collection: her three watercolor portraits, based on family photographs taken in the South Bronx, have the folksy eclecticism of the show's abundant amateur portraiture; and her oil-on-canvas reproduction of an album cover by New York Latin soul musician Joe Bataan (Mestizo, 2013) has a charming campiness.
Gucci comes through with the kind of tough-silly bars that made him famous: "my money lanky taller than a man six foot three / my left pinky: nine carat diamond cut so neat / and if I told you what it cost, you would say golly" (yes, pals, the reason everyone is freaking out so much about Gucci being back is that he's the hardest rapper who rhymes folksy expressions like "golly").

"Wildwood," the first book in a trilogy by Colin Meloy (with folksy, sylvan illustrations by Carson Ellis), follows the adventures of Prue, a 12-year-old vegetarian and vinyl enthusiast from Portland, as she sets out to rescue her baby brother, Mac, after he is kidnapped by a murder of crows and spirited away to a fantastical forest teeming with savage and noble creatures at the western edge of the city.
I watched their games on a tiny television in my dorm room, with folksy play-by-play man Ralph Lawler doing his level best—I remember him chirping "Bingo for Chilly!" after sad-eyed beanpole Pete Chilcutt hit a three-pointer to shave some third-quarter deficit briefly into single digits—and Bill Walton exploring the outer boundaries of madcap sarcasm with every hyperbolic appreciation of Michael Olowokandi's robustly checked-out post game.
Other winners took different approaches, from Glenn Close calling for women to step into the limelight and live their best lives after winning Best Drama Actress for The Wife, to Christian Bale seeming folksy and funny after winning Best Comedy Actor for Vice, to Olivia Colman marveling at the fun journey she's had on the awards circuit as a less-well-known British actress after winning Best Comedy Actress for The Favourite.
It is one reason that her 2008 announcement video, featuring her perched casually on a beige upholstered couch, a folksy, feminine would-be leader of the free world, was mocked; "Saturday Night Live" was still lampooning it during the most recent season, with her impersonator, Kate McKinnon, deliberately contrasting her forced, smiling accessibility with the killer instinct she appeared to be laboring to hide (a contractor walks by, there to repair seven newly punched holes in the wall).
There was this online comment, folksy and menacing, one of many directed at Mr. Coon after his aborted attempt in November to have Ole Miss declared a "sanctuary campus" for undocumented immigrants: "From what I've read there is a large group that would gleefully use his head for a mop and his butt for a broom and God only knows what's keeping them from it," wrote the commenter, who identified himself as John Irwin, on the website of the Clarion-Ledger newspaper.
We watch Jones, born Phylis Isley to a folksy Oklahoma family that owned a traveling circus, parlay modest talent and approachable beauty into an Oscar-winning acting career and an eccentric Hollywood-royalty lifestyle, leaving her first husband, a journeyman actor, to marry the high-flying producer David Selznick, then after his death marrying the industrialist and art collector Norton Simon, whom she also outlived, as she did two of her children, Mary Jennifer and a son, Michael Walker, who spent his final years as a broken-down recluse in an apartment in the San Fernando Valley.
