Nice. FYI - he mentions the Beatles in his monologue - did you know the Beatles released his first album on Apple records?

Here are the lyrics:

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone

Susanne the plans they made put an end to you

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song

I just cant remember who to send it to

Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you again

Wont you look down upon me, jesus

Youve got to help me make a stand

Youve just got to see me through another day

My bodys aching and my time is at hand

And I wont make it any other way

Oh, Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun

Lord knows when the cold wind blows itll turn your head around

Well, theres hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things

To come

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain

Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end

Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that Id see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought Id see you one more time again

Theres just a few things coming my way this time around, now

Thought Id see you, thought Id see you fire and rain, now

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
