•And if that juxtaposition doesn’t offend you, maybe you can
handle the dancing faux-Nixon and faux-Kissinger in this lavish, shocking
fifteen-minute Beatles tribute (also featuring the original Jesus Christ
Superstar understudy and Patti LaBelle in a giant spider web, among other
wonders) from the 1977 Rolling Stone
TV special.
•On a briefer and simpler note, there’s Jonathan Mann’s song
“Kittens in Space.”
•...which is certainly a happier tune than this one he sang at a dying
woman’s bedside.
•And if after that one you want to go back to happy kittens,
here’s an excellent
wacky-animals montage I mostly hadn’t seen before.
•But death and music remain intertwined because Maggie Estep
has passed away at age fifty of a heart attack, likely to remain best
remembered for this ditty
about street harassment.
•And if that still doesn’t make you sad, maybe Billy Ray
Cyrus and rapper Buck 22’s hiphop
remake of “Achy Breaky Heart” will (h/t Gerard Perry). Its video is full of (quality) twerking. Like daughter, like father.

I was going to suggest that Ayn Rand Institute-affiliated Objectivists might qualify as neocon libertarians, but they're too much in favor of small government. They've never made peace with the welfare state, and I can't imagine Leonard Peikoff ever setting a "national greatness" goal for the U.S. government, as David Brooks and Bill Kristol did.
