Wonderful Folks
A friend passed this along yesterday, and every time I watch it, I like it more. It’s Amanda Palmer‘s Runs in the Family, and what you’re seeing is a terribly well done fanvid for it.
I think it pairs well with a video clip that Amanda Palmer herself posted on her site a few days ago. It’s of Bill Hicks (personally dear to me for his “looks like we’ve got ourselves a reader!” line) talking about what he wants to hear, in front of an audience that doesn’t really seem to get it:
Absolutely.

best of luck,

I still get to take them to the next Gogol Bordello show, right? I’m pretty sure that was in the original agreement.

You can babysit my kid anytime.
(He’s been asking for history lessons instead of bedtime stories. Last night’s bedtime history lesson was about Prohibition and how it led to the rise of the mob.)
