YOU TUBE OF THE DAY--THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLEE

[wayang]

Well...things from across cultural divides frequently look 'silly', but keep in mind that every one of those moves is straight out of the British Army parade manual...just ratcheted up a few thousand notches based on the ancient and powerful emotions involved. And it is phsically impressive...I mean, how high can you lift your leg in combat boots while maintaining a rigid posture? Not that high, I'm guessing. Also worth pointing out: these guys, on both sides, are well over six feet tall for maximum intimidation value, and all are the equivalent, in strength, training and intensity, to our Special Forces troops.

I just know I wouldn't want any of 'em mad at me...

A very good point, David, and it also brings up the fact once again that life isn't fair...we want to hear the lovely high voice of the younger Thomas and feel cheated out of it...whereas Leonard Cohen, whose voice sounds like a rusty hinge on the Gates Of Hell, has no trouble pleasing the crowd as much as ever he did...

Dylan has actually gotten better with age... IMHO.

I kept imagining some kind of exotic animal when watching them "front" each other. Like something you'd see on Animal Planet or National Geography channels. Almost like odd mating rituals, but definitely territorial.

That is right on the money, John...

Ah, I see somebody else here monitors Gawker and Gizmodo...

Indeed! Maybe you and Mr. Bradshaw could join forces on a proper Rickenbacker vessel.

The only way to travel the high C's.

The only way to travel the high C's.

But that begs the question, what does the C stand for?
