The Cleverlys – Born To Be With You
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Black Rifle Coffee – The Star Spangled Banner
An evening pause: This seems a very appropriate evening pause to end my 10th anniversary July fund-raiser for Behind the Black.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann, who though not American truly appreciates the American concepts of freedom.
Robots
An evening pause: This sequence from the animated film Robots (2005) is a very typical scene from almost every modern Hollywood film, whether real or animated (though the difference is getting harder to see as they put more and more CGI in every film). Regardless, it is fun, and takes the idea of a Rube Goldberg device to a very strange extreme.
Hat tip Bob Robert.
John Lennon & Elton John – Whatever Gets You Thru The Night
An evening pause: This was John Lennon’s last live concert appearance, an unannounced walk-on during an Elton John concert at Madison Square Garden in 1974. And yes, that is Yoko Ono in the audience watching. At the time the two were separated, and this event apparently was crucial to getting them back together.
Hat tip Roland.
Alanis Morissette – Uninvited
An evening pause: I think it worthwhile to compare this performance with the performance from the very first evening pause, July 1, 2010, excerpted from a 1968 movie.
The contrast reveals a great deal about how our culture has changed.
Hat tip Wayne Devette.
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World – Then & Now
An evening pause: A fun look at the outdoor locations shot for the 1963 movie, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World and how they look today. It is actually surprising how little change has occurred at so many of these places.
Hat tip Wayne Devette.
Marcin Patrzalek – Asturias
A late evening pause: Got behind and forgot to schedule things for tonight. Here is an evening pause, hat tip Mike Nelson, of a truly wiz of a guitarist.
Eddy Grant – Electric Avenue
An evening pause: Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
MeTrónomoS – One Small Step
An evening pause: For this anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s first step on the Moon, a short musical piece, with images, that nicely encapsulates that 1960s space effort. If you are passionate about the human effort to become a space-faring civilization and you don’t know who and what mission each clip portrays, you need to find out.
Minnie Riperton – Lovin’ You
An evening pause: Performed live 1975.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Marcel Remy – 94 years old and back on the summit
An evening pause: I like his words near the end: “Anytime something can happen to you. Sometimes you just put this thought aside and have fun.”
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
Jerry Jeff Walker – Mr Bojangles
An evening pause: Sung live by the writer.
Hat tip Roland.

Cagney & Hope – Dance routine

Hat tip Thomas Keener.
Roxana Küwen – 5 balls hands and feet

Sheku Kanneh-Mason – The Swan
An evening pause: Hat tip Ruth Beaty.
Gomberg Seltzer Works – Brooklyn’s Last Seltzer Men
An evening pause: Ah how I miss the taste of a real egg cream, using both real seltzer and Fox’s U-Bet syrup. Nothing beats it.
Hat tip Cotour.
Aurora – Animal
An evening pause: Beautiful and haunting, but listen closely to these lyrics and you will hear our dark future singing.
Hat tip Lee Stevenson.
Korman & Conway – Undercover cops
An evening pause: From the Carol Burnett Show.
