Alvin & the Chipmunks would sound better too, but that was better, thanks.  Nimble fingers.

More than a bit of music, actually, but a pretty inspirational story I never knew. 

https://vimeo.com/143462662

New York Doll, about New York Dolls bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane.  The New York Dolls were a proto punk band mostly known for spinning off the career of David Johansen, aka Buster Poindexter.  Back to the flick, it's the story of Kane's life.  You can see sadness in him, knowing how he pissed away his chance at the big time because of alcohol, a little jealousy of Johansen for his success, yet he's happy where he's at, a Mormon, believe it or not.  And you can see the happiness in him when he finally gets his shot to do it right, as a New York Dolls reunion is scheduled.  And ultimately sadness, knowing he died just three weeks after that concert, of leukemia.

If you like the music, a complex character, and an emotional roller coaster ride, give it a watch.

Evidently I've been living under a rock. I just discovered this girl and it seems she's got quit a bit a music already out.

She plays a pretty good guitar and sings. I haven't been in love like this since I discovered Bonnie Raitt. ::cool::

She sounds good, also sounds somewhat like Amy Winehouse.

Interesting voice. The internet says she is 30.

Was that freaky that I almost instantly recognized the object of this painting - even though it was incomplete and inverted? I guess I've seen it enough times to have it locked in!

I am old.
Until the half time time show I never really heard or saw Shakira. I figured she was some low talent skank.
One minute I was watching football the next I am having some crotch shoved toward my face.  So at first I was offended during her performance but grew to like it with the belly dancing and more athletic dancing.
I looked her up. She is part Lebanese and grew up in a city in Columbia that has the second oldest or biggest (cannot remember) carnival parade, after Rio, prior to Lent.  Some of the dancers in the Columbia parade are fully clothed, many are mostly naked like in Rio. So she grew up with this bawdy pelvic dancing in public.

I recall she was taken to a Lebanese restaurant at 4 and started dancing on the table.

Anyway, once I realized she was doing Latin and middle eastern dancing, not Miley Cyrus shank stuff I loved her.

I found this earlier music video. I love it.

Shakira - Ojos Así (from Live & Off the Record)

also Shakira - Whenever, Wherever (from Live & Off the Record)

Can 2020 be saved by more cowbell?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPW7KhN_ZM4&feature=share

Blue Oyster Cult's first album in 20 years and probably their best in 40 years.  And yes, that's Al Bouchard (their original drummer) guesting on cowbell, going Full Will Ferell.  ::hysterical::

Dang, I like that a lot. Always been partial to Sammy. He’s managed to keep his voice together for a long, long time.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
