Osler's Razor

The best show I ever saw? That's easy. It was the Ramones, in some hot old warehouse in DC in the middle of August. Hot as hell, packed in tight, and Joey Ramone wore a leather jacket for two and half hours while performing under lights.

Looking back at it (and at the video above) what I find remarkable is how disciplined they were. There is no break between the songs, for the most part-- they count it off and fly into the next one. 

I can't even do that in my lectures! I'm muttering about something, looking down at my notes, fumbling around... it sounds crazy, but this semester I am going to try to be more like the Ramones.
