Mom Always Liked You Best

Kate and I went to see the Smothers Brothers last night at the Kennedy Center in DC. They were on during the second half of the National Symphony Orchestra's Pops concert. Although the second "half" was much longer than the first. Not true halves in the strictest sense. More like "parts." Anyway, more to the point, they were great! The Smothers Brothers. They symphony was really good, too, by the way. They - the Brothers - had the nearly packed audience rolling for well over an hour with some standard routines and some material that was new. To me, at least. This is one of the pieces they did.

They also did a little film retrospective, narrated by Dick Smothers. That was done while Tom recuperated from a frantic piece as the Yo-Yo Man, where he showed off his prowess at the yo-yo.

Then I bought this DVD after the show in the lobby. So if any of you long for touching base with the good things of the past or (for those not born then) want to see what the 60s were all about (I forget, myself), then come visit us. Call before midnight tonight to reserve bed or couch or floor space. And we'll have a Smothers Brothers 840 minute marathon together! Complete with Mudder's Milk and other drugs, sex and rock and roll. Well maybe not all that complete but fun anyway! You know you're just sitting around anyway and miss us and the Smothers Brothers so much. Wouldn't that be shiny!?!

Okay. So much for the commercial interruption. Anyways, all-in-all it was a fun night. The Metro was shut down at the Pentagon for service and we had to be routed around by bus to the next stop. So it took us awhile to get back to the peace and respite of home afterwards. But then the Pentagon and peace and respite are not words I tend to ponder much about in the same thought very often in any case.

Peace and Love 60s style to all!
