Sorry to hear that frako.
I occasionally go and sit on the bench beneath the shade of the memorial tree that we planted for my brother. The joints always taste sweeter there.

I just found this again. The movie is a masterpiece and the soundtrack a gem.

Pretty good stuff. My appreciation for rap is increasing.
Whoever is lead to believe that species are mutable, will do good service by conscientiously expressing his conviction, for only thus can the load of prejudice by which this subject is overwhelmed, be removed.Charles Darwin, Origin of Species So what-ch-you know about Natural Selection? Go aheadAnd ask a question and see where the answer gets you Try bein’ passive aggressive or try smashin’ heads in And see which tactic brings your plans to fruition And if you have an explanation in mind, then you’re Wastin’ your time, ‘cause the best watchmaker is blind It takes a certain base kind of impatient mind To explain away nature with intelligent design But the truth shall set you free From those useless superstitious beliefs In a literal Adam and Eve, and that Edenic myth ‘Cause their family tree is showin’ some genetic drift Take it from this bald-headed non-celibate monk With the lyrical equivalent of an elephant’s trunk It’s time to elevate your mind-state And celebrate your kinship with the primates The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?We lived in the dark for so long The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on Creationism is dead wrong The view which most naturalists entertainnamely that each species has been independently created, is erroneous.Charles Darwin, Origin of Species Okay, it’s time to reveal my identityI’m the manifestation of tens of millions Of centuries of sexual selection, best believe I’m the best of the best of the best of the best Of generations of competitive pressure genetically But don’t get upset, ‘cause we’ve got the same pedigree You and I will find a common ancestor eventually If we rewind geological time regressively And I could say the same for this hibiscus tree And this lizard and this flea and this sesame seed And if you still disbelieve in what your senses perceive Then I could even use this rhyme as a remedy ‘Cause there’s so much variation in the styles in this industry And differential survival when the people listening Decide what they’re into and what really isn’t interesting You could thrive like Timberlake on a Timberland beat Or go extinct like Vanilla Ice and N’Sync It’s survival of the fittest, but fitness is a tricky thing It changes from place to place and from winter to spring But the real question in this social-scientific simile Is heredity, whether we inherit our techniques From our predecessors, or invent them independently But then we’re talkin’ memes and that’s a different thing Richard Dawkins can I get a proper definition please? The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on?We lived in the dark for so long The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on Creationism is dead wrong The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ on? Whoever leaves the most spawn The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on Creationism is erroneous I hear some people complain, like I don’t wanna be an ape!I never came from monkey DNA! I believe God made me in a day — Jesus saves! Yeah, he’s great, but stop bein’ afraid To use the reason he gave you to let science solve Some giant problems and find some final results I think it’s time for y’all to let your minds evolve And listen to a different kind of silent call The kind that comes from pine trees and not Pinesol I’m talkin’ about the mystical vision that Einstein saw Wondering at the infinite depth of divine thought And realizing that scripture can never define God ‘Cause if there is a personal God, then he’s been jerkin’ off So why would he bother designing an albatross Especially when natural selection does such an excellent job Just by balancing benefits and costs? I say banish God into the gaps If he can’t help us understand the simplest facts I want a relaxed God of infinite naps We’ll be all right without him, just give us a chance The weak and the strong, who got it goin’ onWe lived in the dark for so long The weak and the strong, Darwin got it goin’ on Creationism is dead wrong

Speaking of Tom Waits he seems to be shamefully absent from this thread.

I am not sure why but I found this to be profoundly moving. I think that it was mostly the gallery but the NZ parliament burst into song following a vote on gay marriage.
There was a pretty funny speech that preceded the vote.

Yeah could be I suppose but great music comes from the gut no matter what the instrument. From the washing board to the mixing board it is all just sound. If it can send shivers down your spine then it makes the grade.
What a great song.

I have a semi-soundproofed basement with a pair of Bose 901 IVs and a pair of Acoustic Research IIIs, hooked up to a 500 watt amp. Fleetwood Mac — Then Play On. Especially Oh Well part 2.
