If you can watch this and still not understand why I love this band, you must be deaf or stupid. And I don’t talk to deaf or stupid people. Why? Because deaf people can’t hear me, that’s why, stupid!
But I want to know who the people in this audience were and how I get to be one of them next time.
I’ve got a fair number of friends who are more musically inclined and musically sophisticated than I am, but I stumbled across this all mine own self (well, I found it on Taylor is the Boogie mine own self, well with the help of WordPress Hot Posts), so I feel very proud. This is worthy of going up against the best.
UPDATE: and fuck Universal Music Group, who took down the video. If they cared enough about their artists to read the comments, they’d see this video sold them an album. And now they have two official versions, embedding disabled on both. Why? Because you want your artists to be less widely known and less popular? Perfect strategy, guys.
underground version:
I’m posting this for Raj, as he’s one of the 30, making the rest each only one of the 29 left over. Not that I’m elitist at all, now that I’ve gotten my charming mug into the social columns…of course, I was wearing a mask. Hmmm, good thing for my ego I don’t believe in causality.

Yes, it’s our fault that Paul McCartney is divorcing Heather Mills. Specifically, it’s the fault of the Federal Fisheries Minister, Loyola Hearn. At least he has the whatever-fish-have-instead-of-balls to take responsibility; he also fesses up to having been behind the Pamela Anderson/Kid Rock re-uptuals.
CBC has the report:
Federal Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn said he and fellow Newfoundlander Danny Williams helped take the shine off the former Beatle’s relationship with Heather Mills. So how did a couple of East Coasters manage to orchestrate such a stunning marital meltdown?
Hearn said it all started with McCartney‘s famous appearance last spring on the “Larry King Live” CNN show. McCartney, an animal rights activist, was debating Williams, the Newfoundland and Labrador premier, on the merits of the seal hunt.
Hearn said McCartney showed respect for the points Williams made in defence of the hunt, but his wife – apparently a more zealous anti-sealing activist – was “not so gracious…”
Of course, it hasn’t been all bad news for anti-sealing celebrities. Hearn noted that Pamela Anderson got hitched – to musician Kid Rock – after protesting the seal hunt.
You can imagine our pride…
Wait till JK Rowling finds out about this!!!
On the other hand, rowr!
