A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
An evening pause: Unlike yesterday’s song, this song should be the anthem for today’s generation, especially the men. The chorus:
How to know when it’s love
How to stay when it’s tough
How to know you’re messing up a good thing
And how to fix it fore it’s too late
And yea I know a boy
Who gave up and got it wrong
If you really love a woman you don’t let her go
Yeah I know few things a man oughta know

An evening pause: This could be the anthem of anyone younger than 20 after their experience during the past two years. Masks and fear-mongering and lies, lies, LIES. It breaks my heart to know that these lies have robbed a whole generation of hope and faith in the greatness that is possible in all humans. And without hope or faith in doing the impossible, not even the possible will be easy.
Note too that Hedy Lamarr proved in her life that the impossible was possible.

An evening pause: Hat tip Cotour, who admits “This is a bit different.” I agree, but it gives you a flavor from the past when a new technology first met art, to produce something beautiful but new. From the youtube webpage:
The next in our ‘David’s Choice’ series, where Tokyo-based woodblock printmaker David Bull introduces some of his favourite prints. This time, the print(s) being featured are from the old Doi Hanga Company, and are two different scenes of the Kagurazaka district of Tokyo. The designers were Tsuchiya Koitsu, and Noel Nouet, and the prints were originally published in the late 1930s.
An evening pause: Performed live 1980.

An evening pause: As a kid, I could never stomach Mister Rogers. The most I could ever watch him was about ten seconds before becoming totally bored. Thus, I was initially very doubtful about scheduling this video — until I watched it. It takes the things Rogers said and did and turns it into a really good rap video!
Hat tip Tom Wilson, aka t-dub.
An evening pause: Not only does this short documentary provide some fascinating background to the making of The Godfather (1972), it describes some aspects of the art of movies that most people do not know.
Hat tip to Phil Berardelli, my former editor at UPI and author of Phil’s Favorite 500: Loves of a Moviegoing Lifetime.
An evening pause: Performed live 2010.
