Laughing Matters

It has been said about me that i am easily amused. I beg to disagree, since I cling to the illusion that I have high standards for my sense of humor. But I do like to laugh, and I think humor, in regular doses, is a great antidote to whatever ails you, and simply to getting through life on this mysterious and bedeviled planet. Troubles, sorrows, and sucker punches come along often enough that I can't imagine why we shouldn't be enjoying life to it's fullest when we can.

So in the interest of promoting world peace and joy, I give you Joe Cocker performing "With a Little Help from My Friends" at Woodstock, finally in translation so you can understand what the hell he said. This is the first of what will be an ongoing series of posts to brighten your day and your outlook.
