Musical Interlude: I'm not much for dancing right now; I still ache from the neck down. But I love watching these lunatics. This is a number from the 1930 musical KING OF JAZZ and is just too fun for words. Also visually dazzling!

"Happy Feet," performed by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, with the Rhythm Boys (including Bing Crosby, in his first film appearance), The Sisters G (Eleanor and Karla Gutöhrlein), Don Rose, and the Russell Markert Dancers (later known as the Roxyettes, and still later as the Rockettes).

Facial recognition out of control:

The #madisonsquaregarden #facialrecognition story has already gone viral. If you've missed it, some #aspects:

A combination of #MSG supposedly being a quasi #entertainment #monopoly using facial recognition technology to #identify any visitor, and obviously to #blacklist and #ban a #lawyer on unrelated #litigation cases. Add #harassment according to some posts (follow tags).
