The procrastinatory joys of youtube.

Now that my thesis is done and one of my classes finished for the quarter, I feel like I have oodles of time. Granted, most of this time is now taken up my book reports and, shortly, essays. But still at least I was able to go for my first bike ride yesterday and it was fabulous. I'm looking forward to three or four good long rides a week this year.

On the other hand, I'm also less disciplined with my study time (since, hey, I don't have any more typing to do and way less reading), so I end up searching the ever so deep archives of you tube. I found a couple decent clips today.

Most people associate Andy Kaufman with either Taxi or, less fortunately, wrestling. My dad used to tell me about seeing him doing stand-up back in the pre-Taxi days and had said he was an incredible percussionist. So I found this clip from some variety show.

I also happened to look over some Steve Martin stuff and came across this rare interview he did with Johnny Cash. Unfortunately, Steve seems to think he's a sportscaster. Cash doesn't seem to mind too much though. There's a bunch of stuff after it, but you can just ignore it. It's only Kris Kristofferson.

And speaking of Cash, never let it be said that he didn't have a sense of humor himself. This is an old, old clip (like, before-he-had-a-drummer old). I'm pretty sure he was high as a kite on pills at the time, but hey, I still laughed.
