In the Air Tonight

I'm not a huge fan of "In the Air Tonight". I've heard it too many times on the radio and find myself mostly bored.

But the key here is that for this performance, Collins was going to be backed up by The Roots and Questlove was extremely nervous about having to play the most famous drum fill of all time. Check out desk chat for Monday and Tuesday to hear him talk about how nervous he was. And to increase the pressure, the show dedicated a camera (or several) specifically to focus on him.

"If you mess that drum fill..."
"I'm done."

So here it is.

Happy St. Crispin's Day

About this time every year people are probably looking forward to the bigger holiday that happens next week (Reformation Day). But we shouldn't overlook St. Crispin's Day. St. Crispin's Day is the day wear we all appreciate Brian Blessed's chainmail fashion and mourn the loss of Davy Gam.

Menagerie

It's just a fact - and I've accepted it - that there are cats wandering around my property. I don't know where they come from, who owns them or if anybody owns them but they're just there. Sometimes, when I want to pull in my driveway, I have to wait for the cats to decide to move out of the way. Sometimes, I'll get my mail and a cat will be running away ahead of me. One time, I went into my garage at night and a cat bolted out of the darkness past my legs.

But then yesterday, I woke up to the sound of a rooster and it seemed like a "near" sound. It sounded really close. And sure enough, while backing my car out of the driveway, I see a rooster in the middle of the path, walking out of the way.

It's a whole new level now.

Friday

It's Friday Night. Feels like the perfect time to watch "Perfect Strangers" bloopers.  Obviously.
