Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre: Crosby Stills Nash & Young “Fancy”

Time once again for our usual midweek feature.

In this clip, Neil Young performs the hit song by Iggy Azalea. He is joined by three old guys who resemble his old bandmates, Stephen Stills (formerly of Buffalo Springfield), Graham Nash (formerly of The Hollies), and David Crosby (formerly of The Byrds). Neil does a great job of making a mainstream pop song his own, and the three impersonators look almost like the real thing, right down to the fat, aging, stoned-out geezer who impersonates Crosby.

Watch it all the way to the end. Seriously.
 

FAMW: Talkin’ Hashtags

Once upon a time, it was the least pressed button on the dial pad of a telephone, and was rarely used even in the written word. Now it has become the staple of every single social network, and every form of text communication. Will it eventually take over the English language? #saywhat

Not if Jimmy Fallon of NBC's The Tonight Show can help it.

Fallon illustrates just how ridiculous we would sound if we had a Twitter (or Facebook, or Instagram) conversation in real life, with the assistance of Jonah Hill in making the point (or the repeated hashtags). This is followed by a voice from the Millennials' past, reminding them of the true manly virtues for intelligent discourse. It's come to this, people, if only for this week's Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy.
