https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf2aIVKp1OY — Apocalyptica headbang along with Grieg.

It's what the video is labeled. But I caught only a few snatches too tell me it was "Hall of the Mountain King", and even fewer to remind me it was Grieg.

I grew up in a different musical era, and Pink Floyd was about the strangest it got. Which could be very strange indeed, as witness Interstellar Overdrive. It's one of the most perfect pieces of program music ever. Any science fiction fan could tell you that was an interstellar ship, and identify the stages of the journey. Getting into overspace was stressful. The landing, however, was soft. This wasn't really a video -- it was a recorded version. I watched several live versions, and musicians can do wonderful things on a recording they'd never be able to handle before an audience,

"Kennedy Steve" (Stephen Abraham) was an air traffic controller at John F. Kennedy International airport until his mandatory retirement. There, he was known for his humour and skill at pushing his tin. After leaving ATC, he went on to ramp control at JFK, which surely must have cost him his remaining grey hairs.

This one is a bit more grounded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fujCAN-S06Y — Bad-weather days on Nürburgring.

The race track Nürburgring is a part-time highway. On those days and times the Touristenfahrten (public driving sessions) happen, anyone with a highway-capable car can come by and drive a lap or more (for a fee, of course) on the Nordschleife. It is classified as a one-way highway on these days. Just be aware that most insurance companies will not pay for any damage that happens on one-way highways.

This particular clip is a compilation of years of bad-weather days encountered by the filmer. You will see snow, sleet and rain, BMWs and Porsches going slow, Audis going into spin, and Minis going fast.
