Saturday Matinee – Snow Prank, Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers & Jay Leno

For those without boots, we salute you.

Doobie Brothers. Look how they danced around on stage back then. How could such good music become so embarrassing? Fortunately most of us only heard them on FM and 8-Track and never saw their awesome stage performance.

Speaking of performances, this one goes out to Jay Leno, one of the funniest modern comedians who never had to use vulgarity to score a laugh. He’s right up there with Johnny Carson, Jonathan Winters and Bill Cosby. I never met Leno, but some friends did.  Each said essentially the  same thing: “Jay’s an honest nice guy, and he’s funny as hell.” That’s how I want to be remembered when I’m gone.  Leno’s still alive.

Sorry, but I can’t bring myself to post any of the more recent poor quality sucky sounding live versions of “Sweet Melissa.” God bless you, Jay, and thanks for all the entertainment.

Have a great weekend, folks.

Snowplowing Day In Russia

Parking on Snow Plow Day

Hótolvaj bandát kapcsolt le az orosz rendőrség. Jellemzően Moszkva és más nagyvárosok közterein (parkolókban, játszótereken, parkokban, stb.) űzték tevékenységüket, komoly károkat okozva ezzel a nagy orosz télnek.

According to Google Translate, the caption reads:
“Snow thieves switched off the Russian police. Typically, Moscow and other large cities in the public spaces (parks, playgrounds, parks, etc.). Driven activities, causing serious damage to this great Russian winters.”

“Ja, kjære. Jeg kommer til å få en pakke sigaretter og et par øl. Jeg vil se deg neste uke. Hvis jeg ikke er tilbake på søndag, spise en røyskatt for kveldsmat.”

Saturday Matinee – Cold Capybara, Doodles in Math Class & Miles Davis

When a capabara clicks and huffs, it’s angry and this one is really pissed at the snow.

The Utoobage videos entitled “Doodling In Math Class” are pure awesome. This one relates the Golden Rectangle and irrational number Phi to botany.

Miles Davis, live in Munich 1988. I saw him in the early 80s, and the performance was amazing. Nice groove here.

Late posting this – got kind of busy with other stuff last night. Have a great weekend, see ya tomorrow.
