Never heard of any of these people but well know the song. They are doing it quite well. I may listen to it five times in a row!

Voodoo Chile - Billy Strings with Umphrey's McGee

I went to a live video of him, playing acoustic guitar. Not my kind of music so did not even play it a minute. Was nothing like the above.

It's difficult to get me to watch videos. Most of them I am only listening to them.

I WILL be listening to it! Thanks for letting me know there is a new one. Lex will either have many interviews in a short period of time or no interviews over a long period of time. I've love to get a notification from him when he's released a new interview.

Okay, Vinny. The video that dualstow recommended is two minutes long. Lex Fridman reviewed it positively AND donated $100 to the creator. Really the first 10 seconds would be sufficient.

The difference for me is the ratio of overhead to content.

I prefer longer things that I click on once and then I listen for a long time.

Don't like clicking on a ton of smaller things that take just as much time as the longer one. Those smaller ones have a lot of time used up by overhead, non-content.

Right now MSNBC in playing through these computer speakers. TV is on Yankees games. Radio is on to music. So ears already occupied.

I will shortly be going outside to read Bruce Springsteen's biography and will be listening to one of his CDs through wireless headphones.

I get lots and lots and lots of short videos sent my way.

My policy is to ignore just about all of them. I'm a binary, computer person. Either off or on. Nothing in between. If I clicked on one then I need to click on all the others. So maintain the policy of none.
