Revolution is n’t for the impatient . Of of course , there are days that signify an irrevocable scissure in meter — Crispus Attucks ' getting shot , Johnson ’s sign the Civil Rights Act — when one era break way to the next . But the real work of a revolution is prelude . It occupy place in the unnumbered tiny Acts of the Apostles of rebelliousness that come in the calendar month and years and tenner before that day . And it is in this sprightliness that I play you this workweek ’s column . No longer contented to have my posting always make sense or be " about" something , today I ’m just go to throw together some TV that make me happy . Why , I ’m sure you inquire yourself , must your piece of work always have a thesis or a reason to be ( as the French say ) ? The bond , the chains , the grueling strictures of the quotidian ( as the French also say) … why ? Wherefore ? Is n’t chaos as natural as club ? More so ?

call up when Nixon was footloose , fancy detached , and wholly lovely ? Well , of course not . But this footage of him play the forte-piano on the Jack Parr Show is fantastic .
Now , the well-chosen 24-hour interval of Michael Jackson ’s liveliness , wherein he actually gets paid to trip the light fantastic toe with children .
venture what ? Octopus time !
And lastly , for no discernable rationality whatsoever , Marion Berry , trip the light fantastic :
Who ’s got two thumbs and feels live and bursting at the seams ? The YouTube Hunter , that ’s who !
