This is the wonderfully awesome tightrope scene from Chaplin's 1928 film, "The Circus."
I was so grateful to stumble upon it on YouTube that I had to share with you:

Here's a great mashup of a band I love, The Dickies, along with The Banana Splits and a ton of other sampled stuff. Love GHP!
McG on Stiffs reunion
Why have The Stiffs gotten back together after 22 years? Because someone asked us to play a show. It seemed like a reasonable idea and getting in the same room with Rick, Rich and Kurt has turned out to be a real blast. It's flattering that two decades later there are people that still even remember us!Rick still plays regularly with Tube Dutch and Kurt is playing with The Barons. Rich hasn't been behind the mic in a long time, but he's still got "entertainer" in his blood. And after nearly a decade of not playing, I'm rediscovering the joys of wailing away on the drums.
So far we've (re-) learned all the songs from our demo, "Dance of the Dead." We also have begun learning some other stuff that will hopefully be a pleasant surprise. The reunion show is Saturday, Sept. 5th in Wilmington, DE. More show details once they're confirmed.
The Stiffs reunion
My band from circa 1986-1987, The Stiffs, have reunited. We had our first rehearsal in late June.
It was a blast and we all had a great time laughing and catching up.
More details to come, but our reunion show is tentatively set for Sept. 5th in Wilmington, DE.
Check our obligatory MySpace page for all the tracks from the cassette, "Dance of the Dead," available to stream and d/l.
