"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Jerry Lee Lewis and Tom Jones combine on a medley of Lewis's hits. I have to admit, I had forgotten what a talented set of pipes Tom Jones actually had.
Brilliant. I love both those guys. Jones was part of the Welsh invasion: Shirley Bassey, Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas. I was looking at old Anthony Newley videos, because David Bowie owed Newley a lot (and apparently wrote the lyric of "My Way" for Newley), and I came across an early duet with Shirley Bassey at her youthful best. Anthony Newley was a genius, but no boogie woogie there. Bassey doesn't have any Welsh blood but surely even the soil there gives great singing.
