Follow Up Post/Young@heart Chorus

This is a follow up post to last Wednesday's post about the Young@Heart Chorus.

I watched the documentary this weekend, and myself along with everyone else in the room cried.

I loved the movie and I would recommend it a hundred times over. The most moving part of the movie was Fred Knittle's solo performance of Cold Play's  "Fix You" it was supposed to be a duet, but his singing partner died a week before the show... 

FYI, Fred Lived until January 1, 2009, out living his doctors' prognosis by at least a year and then some, I looked him up after watching the movie, because they didn't tell you what happened to him at the end...

In case you haven't seen his performance,  check out this link .

Have your Kleenex ready.

Wednesday Morning Nirvana

This clip scares the shit out of me, and makes me happy at the same time. 

Come As You Are is a bit more scary when the old people sing it. My problem with this song is that it reminds me of high school, and the smell of marijuana. And then I see that Grandma singing it and it reminds me of my Grandma, and then the overwhelming fear that Grandma's might know about marijuana. I don't ever want to think about my Grandma the Catholic Saint smoking a doobie and listening to Nirvana. Its just not right.  I don't know, thats where my mind took me when I watched this.

And then I was disturbed a little when they gave you the wide angle and there was that guy on the end warbling, he is feeling the music. 

The beat on this clip  is that its from a documentary about the Young At Heart Chorus:

Prepare to be entertained by the inspiring individuals of YOUNG@HEART, a New England senior citizens chorus that has delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by everyone from The Clash to Coldplay.

My friend ordered a copy from Amazon for the price of $4. I will be going over to her house and forcing her to let me watch it with her, I can't watch it alone, for fear that there is anything remotely romantic going on between the Kurt Cobain Granny and the Warbler, they were singing to each other....you know it.

I need to see this for a couple of reasons, first of all I need to see if they got these elderly people stoned so that they could understand the music better.

Secondly, it makes me happy to think about Grandparents rockin in the free world.
