This is a video of musician Moyun, who never shows her face, performing Michael Jackson’s 1982 banger ‘Beat It’ on a traditional Chinese guzheng. She does a great job. Me? I never show my face either, although likely for completely different reasons. Maybe she does it for an air of
This is a video of very talented bagpiper Piper.Ally performing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s epic ‘Free Bird’ guitar solo on her instrument. She does a fantastic job, and I’d like to request that instead of a bagpipe rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ being played at my funeral, I want this instead. And I

This is a video of Danny Elfman performing at Coachella over the weekend, and covering The Simpsons theme he composed all the way back in 1989. That was 33 years ago. Danny looks great for 68 too — very sprightly. I only hope I have as much vim and vigor
