That's exactly what I was wondering. I would have invoked *blocked if you were somewhere outside the US.

The video has been blank for me at two different locations, so I'm not sure the reason. It's a weird situation because it's definitely *dead for some places... Oh well, I guess I'll invoke *blocked, but I won't *dupeof my post until the original has a working embed.

New Orleans.... it can't be blocked in SoCal and not here, can it?

That guy kind of looks like Zappa.

Works for me as well.

It works for me. It's 4:26 in duration, with Jim talking about the inspiration for the song before playing it. Yours is a subset of raven's, from the same broadcast.

I'm confused on a couple counts:

1) You flagged it *notdead, but the embed is not loading at all; it's just a blank space.
2) You stated that Jim talks about the inspiration of the song, but that information is not present in my video, which makes mine sound like it's not a dupe.

For the moment I'm going to re-*dead raven's post and invalidate your *notdead invocation to prevent an overzealous Sifter from invoking *isdupe.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
I think yours is a dupe. I think the first fix might have been incorrect, because Jim does talk about the inspiration for the song, as raven described.
