Where’s the Outrage?

I’m sorry but the death of a student body president, Eve Carson, at University of North Carolina isn’t some random gang shooting. What happened? There were no signs of a sexual assault. If it was a simple robbery then why kill her? She was shot in the head at least once. Now, this was Wednesday morning. This was a pre-med student who was out after 1:30 am. This isn’t adding up. Why would she leave her apartment that late? This is plenty weird.

The other story is the other university shooting. Lauren Berke was an 18 year old freshman at Auburn who was found fatally shot on a highway. Her car was found on campus in flames 20 minutes later. This has all of the signs of a distraught or deranged boyfriend. Burning the car I would think would be an attempt to destroy the evidence. Maybe the killer doesn’t watch CSI. I just thought that these 2 stories coming out at about the same time was odd.

I was looking for music the other day and I came across The Beatles - Twist and Shout. This was a huge hit for them. But I was able to find a couple of versions of the song. So, I thought it would be interesting to splice some of these together. I thought about cutting up the song and that didn’t sit well with me. So, we have Ed Sullivan introducing the Beatles in 1965 at Shea Stadium. After his introduction I cut to a 1964 performance then back the 1965 performance. Look at how they have changed. Just in that short period of time. They have added a scream or yell to their harmony. They are a little looser and freer in their performance. Their hair is significantly longer. Now, compare 1965 to a 1963 performance. Although this is a much more formal performance. See how John looks looser. He opens with a nice joke.

Enjoy.
