Going Out with a Pop!


Ivan Decker with a witty overview of Canadian money.
They don’t have paper bills for the ones, or two dollar.
They have the “Loonie” and the “Toonie”, the Loonie
has a picture of a Loon on the front, hence the name.
The Toonie is also a metal coin, a two dollar one.
I fully expect Canada to do away with the ten dollar
bill and replace it with something the size of a dinner plate.
Don’t judge a country by its currency though, it’s a
beautiful place with awesome people, I love the place…

A superb offering from the immortal Tom Lehrer.
This is a live slice of his famous Copenhagen
performance from 1967.
He certainly gets into it, an exuberant and engaging
rendition of a classic novelty hunting tune…

A superb clip from a classic flick!
Monty Python’s a Life of Brian is as good as it gets.
Extremely funny, immensely quotable, and as
irreverent as you can get before certain religious
types protest your very existence.
I make a funny, this movie was very controversial
when it was first released and it was indeed shunned
and heavily criticized by religious groups the world over.
People who never actually saw it complained the most.
This is an outstanding scene, so interesting in many
ways, especially the premise of men pretending to be
women pretending to be men.
One of the best comedy movies ever made…

A great set by Tommy Drake on getting through it all.
By all, I mean the end of year hype and the activities
that go with it.
Halloween was certainly curtailed by the pandemic
this year, as I’m sure Thanksgiving and the December
religious holidays will be to a certain extent.
This guy has interesting material, a nice flow, and really
good timing, should go far…

Written by the late, great Shel Silverstein, this piece
really brings out the best in Bobby Bare.
His voice and phrasing are made for this tune.
Whimsical and humorous, gotta love it…
