Funk-tabulous. Consistent with this blog's policy of providing 70% more funk than other similar blogs, the following Bootsy Collins performance is provided for your pleasure.
Tannhauser Festmarch. Lovely music by a schizophrenic guy, Wagner. Not my favorite Wagner opera, but maybe my favorite single piece by him... it does an awful lot of different things in 7 minutes.
It ain't over until...
Oh, nevermind.
What, you're still here? Then check this out. It's Kirsten Flagstad, probably the greatest singer of all time. Don't think of her voice as something comprehensible; think of it as a musical instrument and check out how she hits every note square on. Most people can't do that with a properly tuned piano, much less their own voice. Google her or YouTube her and check her out singing a lot of more accessible (and sensible) pieces of music. She's flat out amazing. And check out Your Host here.
Okay, she's sung. You can go now.

Right on. Most Americans would have seen this as a trailer in a movie theater. Now that you've seen Flagstad, doesn't that Bugs Bunny middle-brow cultural reference make perfect sense?
Hey, Jim. I've got a cool idea. Why don't we head over to the TDF and shoot at the pelaton with an air rifle? Then Paul and Phil would talk about us on air. Now that would be fun !!!
