Friday Fun – The Soundtrack of the Next Revolution

July23

If an oppressed people need to revolt against a tyrannical force anywhere in the world, I strongly suggest they recruit Michael Maguire to their cause. I think he can provide the right soundtrack for their movement.

I thought of this after Wendy posted her favorite version with Anthony Warlow on Wednesday. I just didn’t think his Enjolras was as strong as Maguire. When I listen to Maguire, I feel inspired to go out and do something patriotic. If I heard Warlow’s version on stage, I would certainly give due applause. But Maguire’s would have me on my feet. (Okay, you got me. If I were to see Les Mis on stage again with just about anyone singing any role, I would be on my feet clapping. It is hands down my favorite show and leaves me in tears every time I see it.)

It took me a minute or so to decide if I like Maguire’s version of the national anthem. By the end, he just really had me. This man knows how to inspire people with his voice.

So, yeah. Oppressed people of the world – write yourselves a theme song and hire Michael Maguire to record it. That should bring in some new recruits to your cause.

Screwing Up Thanksgiving

November22

How do you save Thanksgiving if you screw up the bird while frying it?  Just curious after watching this video.

For a full video experience, check out this list of eight destroyed bird videos found courtesy of Glenn.

I don’t think I’ll ever fry a turkey.  We’re going to follow the Alton Brown brine/roasting method again this year since it gave me such a beautiful bird.  Maybe sometime Sebastian will smoke a turkey, but probably not until after we have a new kitchen.
