    For years I taught a course that surveyed Christian theology for students becoming clergy. For the last day of class I always made the students watch "Life of Brian." The worst sin is taking ourselves too seriously. You will never convince me that "Life of Brian" is not the best Bible movie of all time. Thank you Eric Idle and Monty Python.

      I wish Jordan had asked a few questions about his musical compositions and lyrics. He has a style that comes across as simple and funny, but it's really quite sophisticated. He's done a lot of music work outside Python (notably the theme for One Foot in the Grave). It's a very distinctive style. I compose for theater, and I wish I had his knack for reaching people the way he does. I just do my best and hope they like it. He really gets people.

    The first time I went to Scotland, I was amazed at how everyone would just "sing out loud" if a song started playing somewhere. (Plus they all seemed to know the words to everything!) But as an American music teacher, it moved me greatly to be able to participate in spontaneous song. If you try that in the US, you get a lot of "oh i don't know how to sing" or "I didn't study music" BS and people close up.
    Not in Scotland. 😆
    Making music happen (solo or in a group) really does 'flush the emotions' that need to get moved out/exorcised. Quite therapeutic, and an instant way to connect to others--even total strangers.

      It’s our way of dealing with dying. Better to face it with a smile than with a bunch of anxiety and fears. It’s strange to describe but it is almost like the idea of change what you can and accept what you cannot change, but with the twist of make a funny joke of what you can’t change so that at least the idea of it is not so bleak. At least that is my interpretation.

    I remember watching Monty Python as a teenager. I never mentioned it to my children but in their late high school and college years they discovered Monty Python and they loved it. I wonder what my grandchildren will think.

      There is little doubt as long as humans have a sense of humor that the work the great minds of Monty Python have given us will get belly laughs.

    As to creative disagreements, our Canadian comedy legends Wayne and Shuster became infamous for their terrible arguments about each and every sketch they did. Johnnie Wayne was the more perfectionist of the two, and Frank Shuster would grudgingly agree with him in the end. Years after Johnnie died, Frank hosted a special with selected sections of their most famous sketches. He told viewers that he found himself arguing in his mind with Johnnie over every choice -- but this time he won nearly half the time.

    I grew up with Monty Python , the goodies, Benny Hill, Paul Hogan. The thing I got out of it was to not take life too seriously because in the end it doesn't matter.

    Grew up watching “The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen” in which Eric Idle played the speedster “Berthold”. Wild story but great.
