Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AijC... This is absolutely phenomenal! I watched her very adapted version of her song 'Land' - from 45 min to 105 min. I imagine Patti saying "It's my song and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it." And then laughing. Best 20 minutes I've spent in awhile.
