—“You finally, really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert.. 24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi. Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks: - The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years - Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set - The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one - Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.

It's 1970. Elton John pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper and plays "Tiny Dancer" (my all-time favourite song) for the first time in front of his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, and Taupin’s wife, Maxine, who inspired the song.

No Rain was initially not going to be a single, radio stations started playing the track a lot and forced the release. The video, directed by Samuel Bayer (the same as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), features the iconic Bee Girl.

The legendary video for "Sabotage" was directed by Spike Jonze and shot in Los Angeles on a very low budget. The Beastie Boys dressed up as tough cops of the '70s, parodying shows like Starsky & Hutch and Baretta. The car chase was almost entirely improvised, and Adam Yauch (MCA) was actually injured during a fall, but they kept the scene in the final cut. Released in 1994 on the album Ill Communication, the song and video became one of the biggest icons of the 90s: It was nominated for 5 VMAs and is still considered one of the best in MTV history.

Heart of Glass was created by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein in 1975 as a slow, reggae song called "Once I Had a Love". The members of Blondie (especially Debbie) were afraid that the "disco" sound would drive punk/new wave fans away from them, but producer Chapman insisted. Result? It became the biggest success of Blondie's career, #1 in the US, the UK and several countries.

A study at Northumbria University found that this type of dancing is what females find the most attractive.

"Situation" is a single by the British synth-pop band Yazoo from 1982. Released in the UK as the B-side of Yazoo's debut single "Only You," it peaked at number two on the UK singles chart. It was released as a single in North America, reaching number 73 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaking in the top 40 on the Canadian chart, reaching number 31. In late summer 1982, it became Yazoo's first song to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, holding the number one position for four weeks. The song also topped the Black Singles chart, reaching number 31.

No se a quien le ocurrió degradar y llamarle “cerros” a tremendas montañas que rodean a la ciudad de Monterrey Algo que nos pondría en el Mapa, algo tan fotogénico y turístico, decidieron simplemente minimizarlo llamándolos “cerros”.

A very shy maned wolf stopping for a visit at a monastery in Brazil for a bite to eat provided by monks. Because of their super long legs, they walk more like giraffes than typical canines. Maned wolves pose no threat to humans 🦊🥺

By 1982, Ridley Scott had already made Alien and Blade Runner, so naturally the only music video he ever directed looked absolutely gorgeous. Avalon feels less like a music video and more like a forgotten dream drifting through the early 80s.

That bag has a name. It's a bindle. And in the 1930s, about 250,000 American teenagers actually packed one and walked out the door to ride freight trains, looking for work after the crash wiped out their families' savings. They were called boxcar boys and girls. Many were just 16 or 17. They left because there was no food at home, or because they didn't want to be another mouth their parents couldn't feed. One boy left home with the 72 cents his mother pulled from her purse, the last of her money. About 4 million Americans were on the road in those years. The cartoon image we know traces back to two artists. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp character, the little guy in baggy pants with a stick, debuted in 1914. He became a global icon. Walt Disney later said Chaplin was one of the inspirations for Mickey Mouse. Then in 1958, Norman Rockwell painted a runaway boy carrying a bindle for the Saturday Evening Post cover. That picture is the one that stuck in our heads. The actual life behind the bag was hard. People who lived it called themselves hobos, and they were strict about the word. A hobo was a worker who traveled. A tramp only worked when he had to. A bum didn't work at all. Hobos hated being mixed up with the other two. They followed the harvests. Strawberries in spring, hops in summer, apples in fall, potatoes in winter. Pay was a few dollars a day, sometimes less. Riding freight trains was illegal and could kill you. Railroad police, who they called bulls, beat them off the cars. You could slip and get crushed between cars. Or freeze to death sleeping in a boxcar in winter. A British poet named W.H. Davies, who wrote a memoir called The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, lost his foot trying to jump onto a moving train. So they built their own world. Their camps near rail yards were called jungles. They shared a stew called Mulligan, where everyone threw in a potato, or a piece of meat, or whatever they had. They left messages for each other on water tanks: a nickname, a date, and the direction they were heading, so the next person passing through could see who had been there. They had a phrase for someone who died on the road. He caught the Westbound. In 1900, a town in Iowa called Britt, with about 2,000 people, decided to host them. Every August since, hobos and rail riders show up to crown a Hobo King and Queen, with crowns made from coffee cans. The convention is still running. There's a Hobo Memorial Cemetery in Britt for the ones who caught the Westbound. The cartoon turned it into a childhood dream. For a quarter-million American kids in the 1930s, it was just the bag you grabbed before walking out the door.

This amazing choreography invented in 1969! I think it's very progressive for those years, beautiful!

“Venus” was the hit song from 1969 by Shocking Blue that gave us the unforgettable hook “I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, at your desire.” 🔥 Then Bananarama revived it in 1986 and it hit #1 all over again. 💃🎶🔥

An 18-year-old Japanese classical guitarist, Haruna Miyagawa, performs Niccolò Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, a technically demanding violin piece arranged for guitar, highlighting its sequence of variations and arpeggios in a contemporary concert hall setting.

Classic Hollywood dancer Vera-Ellen in the 1945 film "Wonder Man." She demonstrated a precise touch technique called "neural touch," which she became famous for because no one could replicate it, and neither could two people do it on screen. It became her unique signature. Composed of rapid touch speed supported by quick head-to-foot movements due to her leg rigidity, making the entire action feel forced from the feet, this makes us think: she famously never sits on set, or anywhere else, with her legs raised in a blood-red, pain-filled manner. By reducing the distance between the floor and her feet – keeping them close to the ground – it shortens her movement time. The meaning is that multiple touches are guaranteed per second. Essentially, it turns her into a "machine gun" who makes precise hits.💃🕺💖

@CepnikMaciej ¿Si te suena Animas Trujano?

What are top Mexicans movies to watch to understand Mexican culture? Not Amores Perros.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page. It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection. Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do. Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades. The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water. It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left. The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero. When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Entre las tonterías que sí me molestan y nunca dejarán de molestarme es que siempre quieran representar a México con música de banda cuando a la inmensa mayoría de mexicanos NO NOS GUSTA.
