Video beefs again

 I recently watched 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) to find another example of cruel treatment possibly leading to destructive behavior. Pepe sells the vial or the monster to the scientist, who locks it in a cage outdoors, half-ass covers it with a tarp and walks away. The thing is growing so fast that if you don't treat it kindly and help it right away, the chance is lost.

I don't know if I've been over this a trillion times, but How Its Made would have been better as How It Works. It's just manufacturing machines and basic assemblies. When the electric razor was produced, nothing of the mechanism was shown. I wanted to know how it makes the blade move and see the inside parts when that happens.

Also learned the song, "Something" by Elvis Presley. It was exactly the challenge level I needed. Different timing, 3 kinds of 7th chords, writing my own E6 to save time and put it in the right place, 2 similar basslines and a fill. Awesome! I did write to E guitar though, so that was sandbagging a little.

Watching No Reservations (tv series), a chef said that if someone closed his restaurant, he would just make a new one. Years ago, I was in a band and there was a dispute over whether to give our demo recording to someone for publicity. Band members argued that the song would be stolen and I asked if they could write another song. They said no!
