It Hurts to Laugh

I saw this at JB-HiFi when I was visiting Ben (and buying way more DVDs and CDs than I should have ... but hey, I got a 3 CD set of Curtis Mayfield for $10! Bargain!).

Anyway, when I saw this, I was so over-loaded with hysteria that I couldn't even react. I just stared at it, muted by the undiluted comedy of it.

Behold! Andre Rieu: The Flying Dutchman!


Oh God, Oh God! It's just too much!

If you don't know him, he's a violinist famous (amongst baby-boomer mums everywhere) for making waltz music "popular" again.

But I know him better as Andre Rieu: Comedy God.

I mean, when you combine a crimson bi-plane, a violin, and a man wearing a tuxedo and sporting a child's delighted grin, you hit visual bufoonery paydirt.

My brain will never be the same again.
