Sunday Talking Heads: December 5, 2010
Crapodimonte, Let It Be, Let It Be, ..let it be, let it be.. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be … Glyne Tider must be the kick. I have to say, there are very few that appear here I do not know. And as a gen-u-ine Internets Surfer, I’m surprised I never saw this video before, thank you Laughing Squid (bookmark them, you won’t be sorry). As for the Sunday Talking Heads, “Why is it that the only job sector in our national economy that is fully employed is Village Idiot?” sez the bmaz.
