Went to see Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert last night for the first time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCabI3MdV9g Didn't know they did a story along with the concert as a way to tie everything together. The story part of the concert kind of blew, but after that crap ended the party really got started and they just did a straight up concert that was really fantastic.

He said, 'Son That's just the way it is Some things'll never change That's just the way it is' Ha, but don't you believe them Ooo, yeah (instrumental) (That's just the way it is) (That's just the way it is) Well, they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got, a little more But it only goes so far 'Cause the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar But who knows That's just the way it is Some things'll never change (right) That's just the way it is That's just they way it is, it is, when you're waiting.
NPR just had something on this years coincidence of Thanksgiving and Hunukkah, and they played part of some cover of "Royals" by 16-year old Lorde, of NZ:
