    You know, I think the Robotnik UA-cam Poop videos are about the funniest damn things I've ever seen, but as a casual fan of blues and rock AND a gay man, it's really fucking cool to know how important Long John Baldry was. I heard Elton John recall that night during an interview on Fresh Air, and my interest was piqued because while I'm aware of songs like "Baldry's Out," and I still find myself humming "Everything Stops for Tea," i really had no idea how important he was. I know the point of his career wasn't as a pioneer in gay representation, but it's still really cool to know.

    i went insane when i found out that someone saved my life tonight was written about long john baldry, i almost cried. that is so insane, what an awesome guy. i only knew him as like "Oh he voiced Robotnik in AOSTH, and also had a music career at one point cool." (thats still high praise his roll in AOSTH is unironically probably my favorite vocal preformance of all time.) BUT NO! ELTON JOHN NAMED HIMSELF AFTER HIM! AND HE WAS ON THE BEATLES' ICONIC BBC SPECIAL. WHAT THE HECK! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS! complete chad, super awesome guy, and incredibly underated. thank you so much 9 year old video for giving me a new appreciation for one of my favorite vocal preformances ever.

    Ben, this was a really creative and amazing video! Its almost like watching Vcause in a way. I loved how you just at the last second secretely put " PINGAS" there. I was really hoping /expecting it, as it is one of his famous lines in his voice acting career. The thought of the man behind "Pingas" being a very important person in the history of music in Europe is mindblowing really! I saw Elton John in my hometown in Skien, it was an honour, but the connection with Long John doubles the honour. I have actually seen a person whom has known the famous Long John! Thank you

    • @BenHauser

    I saw the later Rick with the later incarnation of The Band in Nashville in the 80s. It was at a place called 328 Performance Hall. Rick was great, triumphant even. He was having such a good time and the crowd was loving it. I remember seeing him with his fists raised in the air and smiling and laughing and sweating. We were all so in the moment together that night. I'll never forget it.

    I don't know. . . when I run into people who don't know who The Band was, I feel pity for them or think they are sadly ignorant. I suppose I learned of them through my old Dylan addiction. Long ago. This doodling stuff is absolutely great---hey you should do the story of Mississippi John Hurt or Pete Seeger.

    Rick Danko was one of the greatest rock singers ever, and he made it to the top of the music industry with his soulful singing. To call him obscure and to compare his singing to daffy duck is just an insult. I don't think he was goofy just a guy who loved to sing.
