Isn’t Life Strange?

I’ve always had a mixed reaction to the comedy of Chris Rock. Some of his material is hilariously funny, but at times I believe he tends to go over the top.
All good comedy comes from real-life observation, and clearly, Chris Rock is an observant student. Here’s a video from his show that hits the […]

Don’t worry about the dialogue in the video. It’s not important.

One of my favorite songs by Jethro Tull… This appears to have been from a performance in 1977.

I found out this morning on the radio that Gordon Waller, half of the Peter and Gordon duo, passed away a few days ago. I got to see these guys when I visited Epcot in the Spring of 2007. While they lost their polished edge years ago, they were still a joy to watch.
Rest […]

I’m not going to make comparisons about Presidential first-pitch performances, but the video below tells the story of President Bush’s 2001 Game 3 World Series first pitch.

Now that Jay Leno has finished his hosting duties on the Tonight Show, it seems appropriate on this night to take a trip in the wayback machine and watch a 1986 appearance of Jay on Late Night With David Letterman.
Jay was a riot back in those years, quick-witted and energetic, and one of the […]

My dad had an old Smothers Brothers record I used to listen to as a kid. I’ve always enjoyed this strange mix of comedy and folk singing.

If you talk to people who have visited both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, they will tell you that the attractions at one park may not be exactly the same as the attraction of the same name at the other park. An examination of ride-through videos on YouTube reveals that the attractions share most of […]

We lost another comic great yesterday. Dom DeLuise passed away at age 75.
Thanks for the laughter Dom, and rest in peace.

This cartoon may be a bit corny from today’s perspective, but the idea of personal liberty and freedom is timeless. Enemies of liberty are as plentiful today as they were then, and the weak-minded will always be vulnerable to their seductive charms.
The more things CHANGE, the more things stay the same.

Here’s a video introduction by Cecil B. DeMille to his classic film “The Ten Commandments.” This introduction was played for moviegoers at the time of the film’s initial run.
DeMille uses this introduction to explain the purpose of the story, posing a timeless question: Are men the property of the state, or are they free […]
