Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Lisa Ferraro & Houston Person – Teach Me Tonight
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Mark Rober – Glitterbomb Trap Catches Phone Scammer
An evening pause: This is a little longer than most evening pauses, but trust me you will enjoy deeply every single second, so much so you might even want to watch it twice.
This earlier video by Rober shows how he developed this glitterbomb to catch doorstep package thieves. He has now taken that relatively minor engineering prank to a much higher and righteous level.
Yes – Round About

John Prine – When I Get to Heaven
An evening pause: Hat tip Chris McLaughlin.
Friday Freakout – Super Sketchy Zipline BASE Jump
An evening pause: By the title I suppose this should scheduled for Friday but why wait. Note too that I couldn’t watch it all the way through. I know too much about how to do this right, and this idiot does nothing right at all.
But for those adrenal freaks out there, the video will give you a kick.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Genesis – Los Endos
An evening pause: Performed live 1987. The piece however begins with a spectacular six minute drum duet performed by Phil Collins & Chester Thompson. The level of musical communication going on between these two drummers as they play is literally impossible for a non-musician to conceive.
Hat tip Chris McLaughlin.
Bob Dylan – Like A Rolling Stone
An evening pause: Performed live at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Compare the scale and atmosphere between this Dylan performance at Newport with his performance there in 1964. In one year this event has gone from a casual gathering to a very big event.
Hat tip Roland.

An evening pause: Hat tip Phill Oltmann.

Nice way to start the week, with some energy.
Hat Chris McLaughlin.
Motorcycle Chariots
An evening pause: A free people might do grand things, but they will also do silly things as well. This falls into the latter category.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
