Watt's muzack: Well... once again Britain's Got Talent provides us with a shocker. I avoided this clip because who wants to hear another version of Nessun dorma? Well... this ain't Paul Potts! Gregg Pritchard is 24 and looks like an emo rocker. Beware your first impressions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O88k4i6pF1A&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fu... Watt's Gnus: This is the now-famous fake quote made up by Irishman Shane Fitzgerald and posted in Wikipedia when Maurice Jarre died recently: "One could say my life itself has been one long soundtrack. Music was my life, music brought me to life, and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz playing in my head that only I can hear." For spur of the moment, I think it is utterly brilliant! Can you use it as a prompt and make your own poem from it? Watt's up: Which all ties in to the concept of what is reality and what is of use. I was impressed by Pritchard and Fitzgerald. Both had the audacity to do something. After living around talking-head academics and befuddled do-gooders and having witnessed obstructionist uncivil servant no-no-NO-ers, I applaud their singular endeavors. There is hope when our younger kittens/puppies/people dare to leave the boxes our society puts them in. Montana: raw windy day. 40s. 14,800 |
