A 70 years’ long career, 64 films, 40 books, 111 television series, about 1000 television appearances, 2 Emmy awards, and a net worth significantly north of $100 million.

I think he’s allowed to hum a bit.

You forgot the part about going where no 90 year old test dummy had gone before.

After watching Todd in the Shadows talk about "Don't Worry Be Happy", here are three things I learned about the song:
  • Somehow, it didn't register to me until Todd mentioned it that there were no instruments whatsoever used on the song. It's literally just his voice and his body percussion. It's also worth noting that, even before that, he recorded multiple entire albums the same way, becoming the first jazz artist to tour with neither instruments nor other singers. Though I suspect there had to be a looper in there somewhere.
  • The strange accent he uses for the song is not actually Jamaican. It's actually supposed to be "heavily influenced by Juan's Mexican Restaurant, which was just around the corner from the studio."
  • While, as a Ravinia regular, I'm aware that he's long since pivoted to conducting classical music, what surprised me is that he's shied away from performing the song for so long that he no longer remembers the lyrics to the verses.

A) Someone, somewhere (most likely in Philadelphia) was almost certainly conceived because their parents saw Garfield getting eaten by a fish and got so horny they couldn't be bothered to wait until the ride was over before they shot their load.



B) Because the ride only opened in 2004, none of them grew up to be main characters of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I legit don’t know which is more surprising.

British taps have 'Cold' on the "LEFT" and 'Hot' on the "RIGHT".

Ludwig van Beethoven, the great composer, only learned the most basic arithmetic and did not ever learn how to multiply or divide.    Once he found it necessary to multiply 65 by 50 before someone else.    He wrote out 65 fifty times and added them up.
