Penance
As voluntary penance for rickrolling everyone in the last entry (and for mocking the Eurythmics a while back, which I don't really apologize for, but it was rather negative), I'm going to use a few entries to link YouTube songs/videos that I like. They'll be embedded, so you'll be assured of not hearing Rick Astley (who, incidentally, was born just twelve days before I was).

We'll start with one that I promised to link a while back and overlooked. Written by Me and performed by our very own BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author Icon, it's not so much a video as a vehicle for the song. But BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author Icon is easy to look at, in addition to being talented, so don't mind the static "video." *Smirk*



(Lyrics are linked in "It lives!Open in new Window.)

(Edited to add this link  Open in new Window. I found about the subject of that song, Nikola Tesla. In 1931 Tesla announced to reporters at a press conference that he was on the verge of discovering an entirely new source of energy. Asked to explain the nature of the power, he replied, "The idea first came upon me as a tremendous shock... I can only say at this time that it will come from an entirely new and unsuspected source." - well, of course it came upon him as a tremendous shock. I daresay he had more than a few of those in his lifetime playing with electricity.)
