Dr. Polka and Mr. Metal

I was going to write something political tonight, because I read something that got me all riled up earlier (http://www.dadgonemad.com/2008/10/8.html#comments), and am just now winding down. But I am not going to be political, because I am TIRED and I spent some time playing with my daughter. She reminded me that I need to take it easy, set the vexations of real life aside. So that is what I am going to do.

Instead, I am going write about something I really love: MUSIC, SWEET MUSIC! I got to thinking about silliness and stuff that makes me laugh and want to dance or bang my head. Not that I can dance, more like semi-rhythmic spasmodic flailing. So what comes to mind? Well, POLKA! of course. Not the Lawrence Welk or Schmenges' Brothers(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Polka) kind of polka. I'm talking turbo-charged, amped up and just plain good polka. Polka in the name of Brave Combo:

In a slightly (!) different vein, I was reminded of a vid that my brother clued me in on. Fast, loud, infinite combinations! Keep an eye out for Darth Vader:

Ich bin ein Rock und Roller! Be careful if you try this at home!
