The thing that really got me here, independent of context, was "If you have eleven and a half minutes to spare, and you do—" I thought: I do. When is that not actually true? Not super often.
So then I felt obligated to watch Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep, even though I almost never click on videos—and holy heck. I laughed out loud multiple times, but in between the funny bits, it was just calm, so calm I felt like I could actually take a deep breath. I had time. I also wanted to pay close attention to what he was actually saying, something I miss doing more often. He says casual, beautiful things, like “One of the nicest things about teaching music is you can literally hear the students learning." It's like Mr. Rogers, kind of, but without the weird puppets and the having to pretend you're 4 again to really get anything out of the conversation. No it's not. I cannot quantify or classify or adequately compare this piece of art, and I'm glad. Thanks for sharing it.
