First up, is a cockatoo that has learned the common language and speaking to the natives. The bird has even learned how to use the hiss in the correct scenario. I'm curious if the cats understand, or are wondering why the odd looking white cat has a beak and keeps telling them iced strawberry jeans taste great with West Texas intermediate crude cactus.

What amazes me is not these kids covering the mighty Van Halen. What amazes me is not these kids giving the mighty Van Halen cover a fair shake. What amazes me is not how surreal it seems this little girl singing lyrics from the perspective of a little kid from the perspective of a grown man referencing the perspective of a little kid. What amazes me is how this music has now become repertoire for a music school. Sure it's School of Rock, but teaching impressionable little minds music in the school system has for a million years been staunchly focused on classical, concert, and maybe a little jazz. Now, Van Halen songs are main stream standards outside of guitar shop lesson closets. Interesting how times have changed.
It makes me chuckle when the lead singer sings, "Oh, yes I'm hot." Which class does the School of Rock cover dissolving cocaine in your morning whiskey lesson?Last edited by Funkmonkey; 08-17-2020, 04:38 PM.Comment

The Great Holtzie is a comedian that plays to audiences 3-10 years old. I've seen him perform for a crowd of kids and he did really well. He was killing, actually. I was amazed at how not funny I thought he was, yet the kids were roaring with laughter. Then it hit me that his show had nothing to do with me (duh...); he was focusing on child psychology and what they thought was amusing. And he had it figured out, too. I don't have video of the performance, but I found this clip on YouTube.
See if you can figure out his angle and what little kid's focus on that they think is funny.Comment

More wasteful big government socialist defense spending instead of using your tax money on a proper modern healthcare system.

It certainly is mind-boggling, Sesh, especially how the US is in trillions of debt to pay for that spending. But, if it's okay, I was hoping to keep this thread light. Your post might be better suited for the Front Line where it can receive heavier discussion.Comment
