Dick van Dyke and Julie Andrews – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
An evening pause: With high hopes for the new year.
Hat tip Edward Thelen, who I thank for trying to offer me videos from a source other than youtube. Unfortunately, by the time this appeared, it was gone at that source and I had to rely on youtube.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Thank YOU Edward Thelen! For reminding us of this wonderful movie!
Happy New Year to Mr Z and everyone here.
While the US might not be given favorable treatment by much of the domestic pop entertainment world, check out the song/group featured on last night’s Japanese New Years celebration show (though on the New Years show the band was dressed in suits/tuxedos).

Is this the Ed Thelen of the Nike Missile Site ?

which is worth visiting (it’s been several years and I need to see what’s new)
The website might have taken the video down because of his name, it’s banned on some sites due to PC.
Charles R Chapman: No, I would be amazed if it was removed because of PC. This alternative to youtube was specifically formed to combat political correctness and the effort by youtube to silence conservatives.

–it’s a copyright issue.

20 seconds for example, would fall under “fair use,” but stealing the whole song is a no no.
Disney owns the rights to the 1964 movie (including the music) but not the name or image of Mary Poppins.
Col Beausabre asked: “Is this the Ed Thelen of the Nike Missile Site ?”
No.
