Fresh Comment Cleaner
I was just on my 372th little errand this weekend when I asked for this song in my car (one of the Tesla’s spiffier features is you can ask it for play any song, and it’ll do so – – great for instant gratification). I had seriously forgotten how awesome this song and its video are.
We Uncomfortable Feel
I can understand bears being jumpy right about now. Here's a song to bolster your spirits from one of my favorite Gilbert & Sullivan light operas. Remember:
For your foes are fierce and ruthless,
False, unnierciful, and truthless;
Young and tender, old and toothless,
All in vain their mercy crave.
An Homage to Slope Writers
Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the writers who contribute to Slope (with a special shout-out to Springheel Jack, who allows me to sleep in until 6 a.m. each morning and get myself organized). I was reminded of this when I tripped across the amusing video below by the absurdly-talented Seth MacFarlane. It combines a favorite song from The Music Man ("Ya Got Trouble") with some inventive lyrics on Seth's part to express how vital writers are to the entertainment industry. It's a pretty cool mash-up:
Real Love
Most of you are probably acquainted with the song Real Love, which the Beatles put together as part of their big 1995 television anthology (obviously mixed after Lennon's tragic death). What I didn't realize is that you can enjoy the original Lennon song (from 1977), which is far more haunting and beautiful that the full-blown Beatles version. I thought this would be a pleasant evening comment-cleaner. See you in the morning. No need to be afraid.
