The Queen's Speech

Well, if you were watching the Doctor marathon on BBC America you would have seen it already. I told you about Acela didn't I? Liz is a sport she is. It may seem a little Jesusy for me to feature but don't forget she's like the Pope of Episcopalians.

Of course it's cross posted from DocuDharma and The Stars Hollow Gazette. You can thank your lucky stars I spared you Life Day.
Yeah, this is how we celebrate downtown.
one thing hasn't changed
she's pretty much unlistenable. 45 seconds, tops.
Now about this God Save the Queen...some early United Statesians took the melody and and changed the lyrics to My Country Tis of Thee. A guy wrote a poem and took Anacreon in Heaven and turned it into The Star Spangled Banner.
This time-honored tradition, of ripping off a piece of music, continues on. Here, Chuck Berry takes The Wabash Cannonball.
Which brings me to a pet peeve, "remixes". That's where somebody takes an existing song, adds a drum machine, makes the drum machine the loudest part of the new mix, loops it over and over and makes you run to the radio so you can turn it off and put on the Mexican station.
i was trying to explain to a young woman just what, exactly,
was so awful about disco. i couldn't quite nail it down.
then a couple of weeks later, i listened to this:

which led me, in the usual youtube way, to this -- which I think qualifies for a "nuff said".

The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.

yep....
I'm sighing too
When I lived in the UK
I used to avoid QEII's Christmas effort like the plague.
And now I find it here. Yikes.
I see she still has the same hair helmet that my Auntie Phyllis used to 'wear'.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Is there a reason I need to know about this?
She, or anyone, can fix their hair howsomever they like. That doesn't mean I want to listen to them.

ek hornbeck,
thank you for posting this. I find her to be very interesting. For one thing, she's in very good intellectual and physical shape for someone her age, a testament to socialist medicine. But also, the whole monarchy thing is still there, for what it's worth.
And what is it worth, we should actually be asking ourselves. I keep trying to focus people's attention on the Nordic countries, Norway and Sweden and Finland, not Britain so much, as examples of how to have peace and a socialist prosperity. But I completely ignore the fact that Norway and Sweden still buy into the monarchy thing. Why? Is it that a certain leadership/follower dynamic is thereby contained or managed by the powers that be, who then kill and destroy? I don't know.
Anyway, for me Elizabeth II is interesting, as person with historical value, still doing the job of mesmerizing the masses, but somehow being the person who shows you she's just like anybody's Grandma, if we had socialist medicine.
