Amazing [eleven year old] girl singing at america's got talent

This girl, Bianca Ryan, is quite something. Her version of Piece of my Heart (which she did last year for America's got Talent) is probably the best cover of Janis that I've heard yet.

Here it is:

She is incredible! I can hardly believe all of that sound is coming from that little girl. And they're right; she is going to be huge. Already I'm tempted to buy her CD. Tsu will flip when she hears Piece of my Heart.

No Bravery: A lesson that it seems each generation must learn for itself


...He [James Blunt] went to University and studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and Sociology, spending most lectures asleep on the floor at the back. In much the same way, he ended up in the army. In essence, one day he was sleeping off a hangover at the back of a sociology lecture hall and the next thing he knew he was in Kosovo with a gun and a guitar strapped to the side of a tank, wondering who he could possibly sleep with to get out of this war. To break up the super attenuated monotony, James would sometimes stroll through Serb villages wearing an East German cap singing, “All we are saying is give peace a chance”. “We were peace-keepers at that point,” he explained, shrugging helplessly.

This guy is an absolute idiot.

Agreed! He is lucky to have survived once. If this was [is] not a unique event, then he will almost certainly end up as meatloaf and ketchup.

Absolutely! He is sharing the road with people driving large heavy vehicles and who have no idea that he is overtaking them. The idiot is one lane-change from death.

Bad enough that he risked his own life, but he risked the lives of others. Had he wiped out that bike could have easily gone into another vehicle or if it went airborne into oncoming traffic. :mad:

If people want to go fast, go onto a race track where it is designed for speed.

There is another side to this. A college buddy named Rick was once the victim of a suicide - someone else committed suicide by jumping in front of his car. Unfortunately, the fact that it was suicide didn't help much. Rick never did come to terms with the images imprinted on his mind. It pretty much screwed him up for life.

... which seems odd to me; death seems pretty natural. Hope I'm not being insensitive.

For someone who have lived a long life. Certainly death is inevitable for all. However, to see someone commit suicide or to watch someone make a bad decision resulting in death can be traumatizing. I know of some locomotive engineers whose trains crashed into cars killing the occupants. They were helpless to stop the train because of the inertia. Some people apparently just froze in panic, and didn't try to escape, just before the train hit. Those guys were pretty devastated, but they still went back to work after some time off.

It was a very ugly scene and there was nothing natural about it. Anyway, not to derail the thread too much, did anyone else like the Flying Car cartoon in the Jet group? That cracked me up! It sounds so much like a typical HS nerd conversation...

Since we're on this morbid subject, I'll point out that, versus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider_(stunts) , there is simply no contest.

Ghost Rider is the name of a motorcycle stunt rider (or a group of riders, depending on sources), based in Stockholm, Sweden. He stars in a number of motorcycle movies comprising journeys through uncontrolled and unstaged roads and highways at obviously highly illegal speeds. One of the most notorious of these journeys is the "Uppsala Run" in Ghost Rider: The Final Ride, 2002. This trip covers 68 km of continuous travel from Stockholm to Uppsala in less than 15 minutes (this equates to an average speed 270 km/h (168 mph) over the period) on standard traffic laden highways.

According to wikipedia, he's a stunt driver who beat the world wheelie speed record, and who died in 2005, it is absolutely no wonder.

Here's his http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6432111827800320245&q=ghost+rider .

I think this one surely classifies as a classic!
