The amount you can learn from this video alone is ridiculous.

At the 50:00 mark, it was being spoken about "Big Oil" and its eminent disappearance. When this was filmed, in 2015, it was being spoken of, but they were not speaking of the transfer to electrical energy. As I write this, in April 2021, there are many solutions to those problems, but still not enough is being done to to denial of the problem by many governments.

Pedantic Dylan fan note: the famous 'Judas' shout came not at Newport but at the Manchester Free Trade Hall.

Right? I was expecting a very different conversation.

@Matty88K 2 роки тому

I had that experience in reverse. I went to a youtube video titled David Mitchell Rants expecting to see one of my favorite authors and learned there's a British comedian with the same name.

Great to hear David Mitchell quoting Frank Zappa and realizing he's a fellow fan.
