  1. Amazing how the various elements were combined to produce Night Fever. I am assuming the electronic tools (sound board?) in the studio allowed / helped them to put the song together.

    Then again folks like Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, Bach, et. al., had to do everything in their head and figure out how all the instruments in an orchestra (I don’t know how many there are, but it sure looks like a lot) would sound.

    And if that isn’t hard enough, opera composers like Verdi and Puccini et. al. had to figure out all the instrument parts too, plus the voice parts.

    Some people just have other-worldly talents.

    I wonder if brain scans can detect how a genius brain functions vs. a “normal” brain?

    I believe that brain scans of liberal progressives all show either no activity or just a blank image (I.e., an empty space within the skull).

  2. music had soul then, before synthesizers and autotune

    they forgot that python sketch about not being seen, maybe it doesn’t translate in Arabic, humor is not their strong suit, among official channels

    yes these are the people who murdered 300 marines, who killed at least two rows of embassy staff, who killed in buenos aires who murdered hariri, so no my sympathy meter is at zero, now under the obama administration, they deliberately undermined a sting operation operation cassandra, that involved Venezuelan sun cartel the ukrainian state arms company, and Hezbollah, in order to curry favor with Iran so the sympathy meter is about at zero,

  3. I found his “analysis” rather vapid. All he is doing is using standard isolation software and playing each part and just smiling and exclaiming on how good it is. So?? I’d much rather see Rick Beato, who uses similar software, actually tell WHY each instrument contributes to the whole and how it all fits together. Beato is miles above this guy in terms of actual musical knowledge and ability to actually analyze a song.

  4. Israel Update, “Game Changer”, Mike and Gadi discuss the (exhilarating) news of the last week: https://youtu.be/e9CMOiE3EBE

    The hanging question: “Is this war winnable?”

    Hanging because the answer has to be “maybe, maybe not”. Yet, that there has been an abrupt turn in the relative strength as between Israel and Iran in the favor of Israel is clear today. But can Israel make a similar turn over against their American foes Obama-Biden? Unclear.

  5. Well, one can certainly hope….

    (Though I suppose it could always be a case of “Tell us what we wanna know…or face the consequences…”)

    File under: “Fly with us to Pennsylvania or face the consequences”…?

  6. “not everyone is as talented as beato, not by a country mile,”

    Which is why I criticized this guy. A lot of people set up youtube channels and bill themselves as “reactors”, or “analyzers” just to get the monetization when they really have no talent doing such. I don’t blame them for trying to cash in, but I’ll support the real ones, while pointing out the frauds.

  7. “Is this war winnable?”

    Depends on how one defines “win”.
    The hope would be to set them back for a bit (One year? Two? Five? Ten?) since they’ll re-arm as soon as they can, i.e., IF they can.

    The ONLY way to actually win this thing would be to mash the mullahs, but that’s probably not possible given the mullahs’ allies and supporters in DC, Europe, Istanbul, Moscow and Beijing…
    Nonetheless, the fantasies and pipedreams ARE impressive:
    “Crown Prince of Iran: ‘The West’s best army is the Iranian people – but we need help'”—
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/396505
    “The Iran-Israel Cyrus Accords could be next if the world helps us”—
    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/396531

  8. When will whatever passes for Lebanon’s government become tired of all the problems Hezbollah is causing for them and begin the “eviction” proceeding? It is the civilians of Lebanon who are absorbing the collateral damage.

    I realize that the citizens are not a high priority for these Muzzi-dominated governments, so my expectations along this line are pretty low.
