The changes are extraordinary and the interests of those who come are fascinating.  Here we don't know anything beyond which of the articles you read so it gives some idea of focus.  Presumably if there were huge disagreement, there would be heckling but there is none of that and nothing is being moderated to prevent you seeing it.  There just isn't any heckling.

It's clear the music needs to be there as "The Wind Cries Mary" is an old song but that was an uncommon rendition of it.  People comment on it at YouTube that this is the first time they ever saw the song performed live in a video.

There isn't any attempt at a musical history lesson as the Millennials have tons of bands and they could teach me tons if it were their choice.

(Ed:  the trouble is all the bands suck)

Well, probably not all of them ... but they're supposed to suck so whatever remains is the best.  Rough business, that.  Probably always was back to the caveman days as we always wanted to sing.  If that ain't true, look at chimps as they hardly ever stop singing.

And that's something we should never see again:  chimps being used as amusements in movies.  These are genius animals as gorillas are cool but they're dumb as rocks.  If you have seen chimpanzees hunting, you know if you are their target, you are a dead man.





It's a hokey title but the coverage is a revelation.  Watching a pack of up to thirty chimps going out on the hunt and the mechanism by which they capture their prey is genius.  At least hang with the video to the point at which they are marching off through the jungle.  Check out the organization, spacing between them, etc, etc.  You will see immediately, these guys have a plan and they know the moves.

Note:  there is some bloody stuff but it's not exploitative in the style of the Discovery Channel which probably gets a lot of sharks killed with its "Shark Week" bloodbath.

So, yah, chimps sing too.
