Oh, and insufficient scope, dammit!

You know, out of the infinite supply of crap covers on YouTube, this is surprisingly crap-free.

Also, respect for the lead guitar. I'm trying to convince the old farts I play with to play something beyond 1980...like this...and the guitar is the biggest obstacle.

@Jeffo193

Not a fan of William Blake, then?

@Wingatewasright

Are you joking? Elton John is Burt Reynold's left testicle compared to this. It would make Richard Simmons make a sucking noise with his teeth.

On the other hand, it's as close as we are now ever going to get to one of Freddie Mercury's pool parties.

Cripes, you play five-string AND sing?

Sing *well*?

Now I have to check out other vids.

Nice work. You should be able to handle stuff like Jaco and XTC's "Mayor of Simpleton" pretty well. Would love to hear you on fretless.

That was very tasty. You decluttered the original arrangement and brought in a note of melancholy that really changes the mood...and yet serves what I think was the original intent.

You've got a Neil Young thing going on with your voice, but there's also a bit of Nick Drake.

That's some fine plastic surgery on the Swedish Reese Witherspoon, right there.

She started slowly, but then she got a sort of manic look in her eyes I found funny. I liked the bit about staring at a guy while backing away.

Bizarrely, she reminds me a bit of Nikki Payne without the speech issues and the future crazy cat-lady presentation (Nikki Payne in reality cracks me up...

I love hearing from anyone who has freed themselves from fear, delusion, willful stupidity and tribal hatred.

Unfortunately, I don't often hear what I love, or even of love itself.

Insofar as Hitchens himself might have considered himself the recipient of a "blessing", I am gl...

About the same number as changed pants.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this. Kudos to everyone involved.

@LyndzyLentil

Hell, yes.

Less distracting for heterosexual men and lesbians, certainly.

Very helpful and well done. I realize these reviews are done on the cheap, but if you could position your mic so that it didn't drop your voice when you turned your head (a headset mic, perhaps?), it would be a little less distracting.

Still, very informative, concise and a great help in picking...

Well, I may be a superannuated old punk, but I would think props are due to Toby Swann:

About as tasteful as possible under the circumstances, the circumstances being implicitly redolent of tube cheese.

Jeez, man, I thought you were Michael Buble for a second.

@Yardjass I don't actually own a car because I live closely to my two sailboats, one with a workhorse 30 HP inboard gas engine designed in WWII called an "Atomic 4", and the other with a new diesel I'm prepping to install.

If a biggish car company made something like a Ford Transit or a Nissan C...

Surprisely effective and tighter than the proverbial choirboy's.
