Maybe The Best Music Video Ever



Old Billy's life is like the arc of this song. I figure I'm at the 2:45 mark -- then we do it again -- with plenty of energy left. I'm going to finish my life the way Mary J. Blige finishes this song, but probably without the ads, the limousines or Bono kissing my hand.

"Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth..."

No. I've always been the disappointing one.

Enigmatic, Billy. If it's 2:45 and counting, when is lights out ?

This will hurt Billy, but in the long-term I'm sure it'll lead to growth. Of some sort.

And - a little in-joke of mine - here's the original cover of the single of "One." Buffalo Jump by David Wojnarowicz

Which they also used as a video for it, by Mark
Pellington.

And glad there's some energy kicking around this Spring.

Still. Don't say no to the limo.

Elementary, my dear. One way to look at it is to write 71 is to 2:45 as x is to 4:27 and solve for x. Comes to about 115!

Rarely will I post a music video, but do these Peruvian pipers have to offer from their ancient Inca heritage ?
