Thank the Metropator for NPR. I found this hilarious transcript… and accompanying audio recording, of LBJ ordering Haggar slacks from Mr. Haggar himself. Why is this the Funniest Shit Ever? Well, if you’re not familiar with our late president’s personality, reputation, or… churlishness. Youdopia, he makes me proud to be an American.
Let me just say [...]
Hi Youdopia. This isn’t anything earth shattering, just a clip of Andy Richter (a living example of Charlie Brown and the football… poor guy.) on Live with Regis and Kelly. He gets pretty candid (although very diplomatic) about the whole situation. You can feel his ire at the gig of a lifetime gone wrong. I [...]
There’s not much to say about this song, Youdopia, other than it’s one of the best songs ever performed (in my opnion). This song was recorded live in the studio, on one of the first eight track recorders, back in the late 1950’s. If you can hear the original with headphones, you’ll hear Ray slapping [...]
Boolah Boolah, Youdopia. Great song. Clapton is spending the Sept of his years playing with who he wants. He told Rolling Stone that he always felt like a dick (paraphrasing here) because he pretty much just bailed on Blind Faith, because of drugs/fame. That’s why Clapton went underground (kinda) and went with Derek and the [...]
There’s not that much to say, Youdopia. Either you like Monty Python or you don’t. This sketch is about ten minutes long, so if you don’t like Monty Python I suggest you go read Post Secret or something instead. No blame.
I haven’t watched Monty Python in years, but this sketch still makes me laugh. Nazis [...]
Howdy, Youdopia. I have a dram of wisdom for you Hemlock junkies. Robert Anton Wilson, he of the fnord, completely explains Quantum Mechanics. I can’t recall if I got this from my friend Brigid, or the other way around (probably got it from her) but it’s a nice little slice of clarity in a world [...]
Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true. Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They [...]
Youdopia, I want to share one of my favorite songs with you. Mr. Bad Example by Warren Zevon. It is funny, frenetic and fantastic cheesy. The video is from an appearance on Letterman, as if that’s not obvious, but you can hear the original by clicking on the image above. Yes, I love easter eggs. [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an obscure Led Zeppelin number. This one is a beaut. It’s from the final night of the legendary run at the LA Forum in 1977. I do not like the ‘77 tour, but I like the acoustic set from this tour, and I love this little blues ditty they [...]
Knock knock. Who’s There? Infinity. Infinity who? Infinity is pretty amazingly large. My dear Youdopia, one of the blogs I read daily, is The Daily Grail. This little video which is a zippity doo dah tour from Tibet to the edge of the cosmic horizon and back, was posted there. I just nicked it and [...]
I have fallen in love with this song, Youdopia. I know it’s like a year old, but I’m in my Forties. I’m not on the bleeding edge anymore. This is a rap about the function of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). That’s the big doughnut made by atheists in Switzerland to bring Satan back to [...]
I love this movie, Youdopia. It’s etched on my neurons like the lines of solder on a motherboard. Imprinted. This scene where Willard meets Col Kurtz for the first time… is pure genius. I have a thumbnail sketch comparison of this movie to the various Sefiroth (qlippoth) but it doesn’t really stand up, only has [...]
This, is (to me) the Funniest Shit Ever. Hands down. Some of you may find it slightly misogynistic, but it’s really a harangue against rap music, so lighten up, ladies. This was shown to me by my 15 year old dyghtyr, so it has cool cred. Jon Lajoie is a comedian with tons of [...]
Baby, don’t you drive around with Dr. Bernice.
That Ain’t a real Cadillac.
It’s a Delta 88 spraypainted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez

I love David Lowery, oh my fair Youdopia. He’s the creative voice behind Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker. I found a lovely concert from 1992 on Dime A Dozen, and it made me [...]
This is pretty cool, Youdopia. My cousin, Terry Donahue (the fella on the left) and his band, the Alloy Orchestra, have written and performed the music to a new cartoon. They usually score new music for old silent films, and this is something new for them. The ‘toon is called Zoot Rumpus, and it’s as [...]
Vale, Youdopia. John Paul Jones’ new band is totally awesome. I don’t like them, but they kick nine different varieties of ass. And… when you see the footage, and hear the harmonies, bass, keyboards, etc… you cannot find the senior citizen in the group. Them Crooked Vultures is a great band. A real band. A [...]
I have been on a bit of a Lou Reed kick lately. Today it is the album New Sensations. My favorite song from that album is Fly Into The Sun. It’s a lovely piece of music, simple and eloquent, like Lou can be at his best. Lou Reed is pretty amazing, and this song is [...]
Well, Youdopia, it’s a new era. Life goes on, regardless of intent or circumstance. The wheel keeps turning. Television Sux is a blog run by my oldest friend. This video made me laugh at a time when laughter usually is accompanied by a coppery taste. Thank you, my friend. Yes, this is the Funniest Shit [...]
I’ve seen this a million times, Youdopia, but I realize that many of you have not. It’s from the old Andy Richter days on the Conan O’Brien show. Conan, Max, Andy, and the prop dude perform Led Zeppelin’s Dazed and Confused a la The Song Remains The Same. By this I mean that all the [...]
