A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
An evening pause: The song’s sentiment, that one should speak with care, I endorse heartily. One should always have the right, however, to say harsh things, if only because sometimes harsh things must be said. It is a shame that too many people in today’s culture think instead that they have the right to preemptively silence such speech, because it might offend someone.
Hat tip Joe Griffin.
An evening pause: My, does he enjoy what he is doing. From a 1960s television appearance.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.

Hat tip Edward Thelen, who added, “per LocalFluff’s request.”
An evening pause: I like this verse, which they reprised, with the chorus, which all people should echo.
When Britain first, at Heaven’s command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:
“Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
“Britons never will be slaves.”
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
An evening pause: The song has two parts, Your move, followed by All Good People. This performance was performed live in 2004, was entirely acoustic, and was filmed live before a studio audience and transmitted live to 25 theaters throughout the United States.

An evening pause: More evidence that a good future is possible. All it takes is freedom and a determination to fulfill a need.
Hat tip Gene Shipp.
An evening pause: For tomorrow. I think this is information every car owner should have. Make sure you watch to the very end.
An evening pause: The video focuses on a shuttle launch, but I think the words apply to all launches, and especially to those that break new ground.
Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
Technology…high, on the leading edge of life
Hat tip Commodude.
An evening pause: All things are possible, even silly things. And maybe silly things are the best.
Hat tip Gene Shipp.
An evening pause: That this even hints at political incorrectness requires that we watch it. And besides, the dancing is most intriguing.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
<An evening pause: From the 1956 Rodgers & Hammerstein Hollywood musical, The King and I. The song, actually sung by Marni Nixon, invokes a lesson I have learned works in almost every situation. Act like you belong and have the right to do what you are doing and people will accept this without question. This worked especially well when I was in the movie business.
The song’s lesson is also a good portrayal of the optimism and courage of the American culture in the mid-twentieth century. All good things were possible, if we showed courage and determination.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
<An evening pause: A stream of consciousness song in tribute to March and spring.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
An evening pause: This pause is very apropos to some of Juno’s more recent Jupiter images.

An evening pause: Bruce had co-wrote this song for the band Cream. And yes, that’s Ringo Starr on the drums.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
An evening pause: A bit of World War II history is saved by volunteers so that it can fly again.
Hat tip George Petricko.

Hat tip James Mallamace.
An evening pause: A brake test for possibly the greatest plane ever built, and one that is now being phased out.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
An evening pause: I will think of this song whenever we see huge cuts in the federal bureaucracy.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
An evening pause: The very last song during the band’s farewell tour in 1996. The band did re-form in the 2000s, but without the drummer Paul Hester, who committed suicide in 2005.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
An evening pause: Stay with this, because when you see this machine smoothly lift three rows of carrots simultaneously out of the ground your jaw will drop. Isn’t engineering amazing?
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
An evening pause: Holst dubbed Jupiter the bringer of Jollity. To me, the central epic theme from this movement has always evoked vastness and epic planet-sized storms, even before we really knew how epic and vast the storms on Jupiter really were.
Hat tip Danae.
