The best-ever performance of “Stand by Me”…
Another great video from JM: “Dancing on the Ceiling”…
Speaking of maids… here’s a new and improved concept for a cleaning service.
Here’s a little clip about depression. I don’t think it’s entirely right. Most of the symptoms described here are related to Levels 5 and 6 (as opposed to Levels 2, 3, and 4), but the main points are accurate.
Tina Turner in her prime…watch it here.
Bill Burr’s Top 10 moments on Conan…
A well done video that sums up the last two years of our pandemic in less than five minutes…
Losing weight the French way…
Sacha Baron Cohen – He’s brilliant as a comic actor. He’s also very funny as a guest.
Oops!
Thanks to JJ for pointing out this goof in Wednesday’s PS.
“Hi Mark. I’m sure many others will write to you about this: Jethro Tull is the band. The lead singer and flutist is Ian Anderson. JT was one of my favourite bands growing up. Thick as a Brick and War Child were two of my top albums of the 70s. Saw them in concert three times!”
Was Jethro Tull a Great Flutist?
I was never a big fan of Jethro Tull until I saw him 10 years ago at a concert in Mumbai. (Of all places!) The auditorium was standing room only. The energy was palpable. He played, crane-like, standing on one leg. It was an unforgettable way to understand his appeal as a performing artist.
The most amazing thing about Tull, though, is that his principal instrument was the flute. The most unlikely instrument to be used in Rock and Roll. And Tull played the hell out of it. Was he a good flutist? I’m not capable of judging. But I found this video clip of a young, classically trained flutist reacting to a solo by Jethro Tull…
