"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
Here's a bluesy stomper by the Robins from 1954 called "Riot in Cell Block #9".
Bonus video! Who knew that actor Patrick McGoohan was a talented man with the drumsticks? I sure didn't.
Ah, the "Secret Agent" dude! No, I didn't know he was a talented musician! Woot!
I re-watched a few "Secret Agent" episodes, and I had to wonder at the simplicity of TV scripts back then ...
But I re-watched the entire "The Prisoner" series, as I remembered parts of it, but I never watched all of it (TV scheduling growing up was tightly controlled by my parents ... it minimized familial fights).

THAT was a weird show.
I was a kid when The Prisoner was being broadcast. It was pretty much over my head, at the time, but I kind of enjoyed its weirdness.
