We've got to be sure Spaw sees this. I think he will get a kick out of it. Thanks, Lox!

I dunno about a supposed 4 am conspiracy.....but I am positive there is a conspiracy around the number 42....

Is it too pedestrian of me to point out that it is always 4AM somewhere on this sphere? Well, WELL!? The plot thickens!

Lox, that was wonderful. The guy's tongue was so far in his cheek, it's a wonder he could speak.

I've just realized that it has been 4am every night for as long as I can remember - and usually while I've been sleeping!!

How sly and underhand is that?

It informs me that I can't see it unless I get the NEWEST javascript...

I KNOW that it is possible to show someone a video without that requirement, so I guess I'll have to do without.

Did you try it at 4am, Bill?

Nope... I was unconcious. I sure hope 4AM doesn't become a common requirement//

It wasn't Faron at all, it was Nashville songwriter Jerry Chesnut who done it.

Actually, I think it's pretty well known that 'the wee hours,' which I would describe as 3 to 5 am, are a pretty bad time. Many suicides happen then, many night workers have bad accidents then.

It's the time when many people wake up to find the brain is set on 'criticize.' It's a time of self-recrimination, of If-only-I had... and If-only-I-hadn't...

It's often a time for the reliving of bad experiences and the rethinking of futile, angry thoughts.

My solution is to keep books handy, and I read to calm myself. A purring cat helps too.

As one who has to get up at 4:00 to get to my day job at 5:00 it is a unique time. That clip really puts the pieces together.

I just realised....our own Jim Brannigan has recorded a song called Four o'clock In the Morning! I think this conspiracy has stretched to Mudcat.

Bill,

TED is a wholly reputable website that, of all people, you would appreciate enormously.

Updating your sooftare from there is not going to cause you or your computer any problems and the error they have notified you of is unlikely to be inaccurate.

I would strongly urge you to download the upgrade and check out some of their talks and performances.

sooftare? ... I meant Software of course ...

as for "the error they have notified you of is unlikely to be inaccurate."

I meant accurate ...

... haste has undermined my attempts to reassure ... but it remains true that I have derived much value from TED.com

I second Lox's endorsement of TED, it's well worth the effort.

I have to admit I was skeptical but it's clear now.   Lots of 9-11 Mudcat commentators--not to mention so many of the other favorite themes Mudcat is graced with here below the line on a regular basis--must have been taking lessons from this guy.

But the people who above all should be sentenced to watch this are each crop of teenagers as they come along.   Whether it's "y'know", "totally" or whatever the current favorite is---any rational person (even a teenager) would have to recognize the power of this guy's speech--not least because he did not once have to put a filler word, so beloved of teenagers, in. I don't know if there was even an "uh".


Thanks, Lox.   Instant classic.

Until I read this post, I had no ideas about the sad ending for Faron Young. I liked his songs way back.:(
