My playlist will be the album Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. In fact, maybe I’ll just select my three favorites from that album, Ella Guru, Frownland, and Veterans’ Day Poppy, and repeat them five times.
I’m in the mood to fuckin’ piss some people off.
Whoa! That’s fantastic!
How are you getting it to stand up? Mine droops over the side no matter how I try to support it.
“Politicians hide themselves away; They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor”
Black Sabbath, “War Pigs”, 1979
I love docs about civil engineering, especially bridges and dams. Modern Marvels has a couple of good episodes on the subject, told/produced in that program’s typical format, including the Golden Gate Bridge and The Hoover Dam.
But my favorite is a 1997 episode of Nova called Super Bridge ( thetvdb.com/series/nova/episodes/1357201 ). The footage is great, the narration is great (I think its Hal Holbrook!), the storytelling is great, and it showed a great deal of stuff I didn’t know I would be fascinated by, while remaining down to earth.
