This video is fantastic!
The Marsh Family has been singing and making fun parody pandemic videos since early in the pandemic. This one is fantastic! A great video!

I know I keep touting these guys, but they more than deserve it. So groovy and meaningful you'd think it was from 1972, but it was just released a week ago:

HEAT ABOVE-Greta Van Fleet
May our tears of rain wash down to bathe you
This is what life is worth
When the fires still burn and rage all around
Fire still burning on the ground
Follow the fearsome sound
As they march to battle, hear the drums pound
We do not fight for war
But to save the lives of those who do so
Fire still burning on the ground
Rising with the heat above
Life's the story of
Ascending to the stars as one
Is a peaceful army joining the band
Walking hand in hand
To an anthem loudly sung where they stand ...
To all of you who know the Wheel of Time books AND all of you who love hippies and just go with the flow ? ? ? ❤️ This video was made by Recappa Sedai, a great guy who makes wonderful WoT content. It's a fun song and well, full of tips for those who deal with problems and negativity. ?

@moonbeam I both loved and hated those books. The early ones were fantastic, and then we got five books in the middle that were several hundred pages of describing peoples clothing, and very little plot development. And then he died! Loved the ending that Brandon Sanderson was able to bring about, but this is why I no longer read series by old men until they’re all out. I’m looking at you George R.R. Martin! Have YET to start GoT books for this exact reason ?
@dannyboy, haha I understand you had trouble with the slog;-) Although I think it was so bad for us readers at the time because we were waiting and then got 'that'. It's actually not as bad when you can read them all back to back. Memory has a tendency to remember the negativity.
Difference with Martin is that Jordan knew exactly where to go and how. There were tons of notes. Rumor is: two warehouses full, but that may have been exaggerated;-)
WoT has flaws, as LoTR had, but to me it's one of only a handful of great juggernauts of fantasy.
I never liked GoT. Stopped reading the 1st book when it came out. Never understood why it became a hit series. How can ppl enjoy rape, torture and horrible murders that are described/shown so vividly? Started with Tarantino I guess. I always thought there had to be something wrong with you if you enjoyed that, but alas, with so many ppl watching ? ? ?
WoT is being developed into a TV-show, it's looking to be amazing. I am psyched. Feels like a journey of years, similar to the LoTR movies. ❤️

There has never been a TV (fantasy) show with such a diverse cast and so many ethnicities. Moraine will be portrayed by Rosemund Pike!
Ok, I'll stop fangirling and gushing now. ? ?
@moonbeam I've been waiting for them to release a real trailer and give us a premiere date! At this point it's been shot! I'm cautiously optimistic about the series - on one hand I think Harriet was detrimental to the overall telling of the story. As his editor she HAD to have realized that 40 pages of narrative on Elaine's dress was overboard, but she didn't stop him. (If I had a braid I'd tug it in frustration right now at that "wool headed mule" while pouring honey into my tea, which tasted of... (goes on for 15 pages)) but on the other, she seems to be correcting that now if they're going through all of Book one and at least part of Book 2 in the first season alone. By the time they hit Lord of Chaos they can squeeze 3-4 books into a season easily!
@dannyboy, Rafe Judkins seems like a good guy to do it. Focus on Moraine and Rand's storyline and drop all the side-quests (circus!) etc. he has said he'll slim down at least 3 of the slog books, prob more. It will work out!
They have been releasing little clips of the weapons and art. Hopefully we'll get a trailer before summer! ❤️
I think the stories and the subjects of balance + light vs evil would tickle a lot of people on this forum. ?
ps: although I expect there will be skirt smoothing and braid tugging ?

OMG, I started reading those books shortly after they came out. I remember the first few were good, then they got annoying. I think the last one I read was the prequel, "New Spring".
I've tried to read GoT--- I checked out the first book twice: Once before and once after seeing the show. I couldn't make it through either time, and it is very rare that I don't finish a book I've started. Martin may have a good tale to tell but he is not an engaging teller of said tale, IMO. The show was much better than the book.
@ana, nope no GoT for me either;-)
WoT is still very good though. Only the middle slumps due to menial storytelling and too many characters. The final 4 books are very good though. Perhaps the series will draw you back in. ❤️

LOL, you forgot the sniffing... it won't be WoT unless someone sniffs!
