YouTube of the day

"Dolphins".


No, wrong dolphins.


That's better. "Dolphins", by Fred Neil.

Based on the inane grin that keeps appearing on Fred Neil's face throughout this 1976 performance, I deduce one of three things. Either:

1. I have completely misunderstood what I have always taken to be a devastating song of loss.

Or:

2. Fred Neil has completely misunderstood his own song.

Or:

3. The drugs have taken hold.
