First, yesterday the dalai lama received the congressional gold medal. i didn't find any audio posted last night of the speech he gave, so i played part of an old speech of his from central park, NY, in 1999. I didn't find a great video of his acceptance speech either, but here is an interesting clip from Australia about his policy on China.
The other theme was my trip to Branson, MO this weekend. Branson is all about shows, kinda like Las Vegas without the gambling. The majority of shows are country/western themed, and I was skeptical of finding any good shows. But we saw four GREAT shows:
-- Liverpool Legends (tribute to The Beatles)
-- Mark Twain tribute breakfast show
-- New Shanghai Circus (Chinese acrobats)
-- Jackson Cash (tribute to Johnny Cash)
Liverpool Legends and Jackson Cash were such good tribute groups! They looked and sounded very like the originals. Of course they're NOT the originals, but they were good enough that it was a blast to see them. I recommend all of those shows. Here's a video of the Liverpool Legends:
... and Jackson Cash:
