Dick van Dyke and Julie Andrews – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Readers!
For many reasons, mostly political but partly ethical, I do not use Google, Facebook, Twitter. They practice corrupt business policies, while targeting conservative websites for censoring, facts repeatedly confirmed by news stories and by my sense that Facebook has taken action to prevent my readers from recommending Behind the Black to their friends.
Thus, I must have your direct support to keep this webpage alive. Not only does the money pay the bills, it gives me the freedom to speak honestly about science and culture, instead of being forced to write it as others demand.

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.
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.
