I just discovered tonight that apparently this is real (!!!???!!!). If I'm wrong someone will surely correct me, but if this is actually real, it is everything that was once great about America, and I wish it could be again.

 
Well according to his Wikipedia he did play for both Eisenhower and Kennedy.

On the other hand, he also played backup on a Miley Cyrus Metallica cover, so I guess his career hit the skids.

thanks for taking a beautiful moment and ruining it by inserting into my brain the kernel of an idea of how f*cked we are once the deep fakes start faking history.

Thanks.

Video of American dive bombers hitting the Arizona will soon appear.

So you really want people smoking at dinner again?
Wait until the research comes in on how much all this content has ruined our health and lives and people 100 years from now will be asking a similar question about screentime.

But we're relatively happy now, right? We all live in our times.

Saw Yo Yo Ma at the IU auditorium maybe a decade ago. Great experience
 
Slightly off topic, but years ago one of my law school professors invited me to come over to her house to ostensibly hang out with a violinist close to my age that was coming to town to perform. The law professor and her husband owned a Stradivarius (see link below) and a del Gesù violin, and they loaned them to performers. I made up some excuse as to why I couldn't come over, as it sounded like a very boring way to spend a Saturday night.

Turns out the performer was IU's own Joshua Bell. (And Goat, the professor, Judy Sloan, was long gone by the time you were at UT Law.)

I wish a buck was still silver,
It was back when the country was strong.
Back before Elvis,
And before the Vietnam war
Came along.
Before the Beatles and Yesterday,
When a man could still work,
And still would.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over
For good?

I wish Coke was still cola,
And a joint was a bad place to be.
It was back before Nixon
Lied to us all on TV.
Before microwave ovens,
When a girl could still cook
And still would.
Is the best of the free life
Behind us now?
And are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the flag
Or the Liberty Bell?

I wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last 10 years,
Like they should.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
And are the good times really over
For good?

Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell!
Stand up for the flag and lets all ring the Liberty Bell!
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
That will still last 10 years
Like they should.
Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come -
And the good times aint over for good!

just a fascinating guy. You should watch this… on my shortlist from a show that interviews some of the most impressive humans to have ever walked the earth.
