Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Dad vs Daughter
An evening pause: It seems there is a fourth story plot available to writers (see yesterday’s evening pause).
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Kurt Vonnegut – the Shapes of Stories
An evening pause: There is an old saying that all story plots can be summed into one of the following three categories: Man vs Man, Man vs Nature, and Man vs Himself.
Vonnegut gives us a far better summary.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Foreigner – Waiting For A Girl Like You
An evening pause: Hat tip Cotour.
Deniece Williams – Let’s Hear It for the Boy
An evening pause: Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Make Mine Freedom
An evening pause: A 1948 cartoon, made at the start of the Cold War. It uncannily predicts quite accurately what is happening now, in America, because the Boomer generation and those who followed poo-pooed its lessons. They knew better!
I post it on Memorial Day because I wish to remember what once was.
Hat tip Lazarus Long.
Anne Reburn – Mr. Sandman
An evening pause: Nice way to finish the week.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Sommerrodelbahn im Stubaital – Mountain Coaster
An evening pause: Let’s go for a ride!
Hat tip Tom Biggar, who notes that this is “Europe´s longest Mountain Coaster with a track length of 2.8 km (1.73 miles) and an elevation difference of 640 meters (2,100 feet). It also has forty steep curves reaching a maximum speed of 42 kmh (26 mph).
Leroy Anderson – Syncopated clock
An evening pause: A very well known piece of music from one of the most popular composers of the post-World War II era that you’ve probably never heard of, Leroy Anderson.
Any New Yorker who grew up in the 1960s will immediately recognize it as the theme music used for CBS’s afternoon and late night movie presentations, where they would squeeze two hour movies into 90 minutes slots that were really only about 60 minutes after commercials. (My first impressions as a child of many of Hollywood’s great movies was noticeably distorted because of this.)
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Heart & the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – Alone
An evening pause: Performed live 2016.
Hat tip Cotour.
Formula 1 Pit Stops: 1950 vs Today
An evening pause: I would say that the rules have changed a bit.

An evening pause: Hat tip Rex Ridenoure.
