My HS philosophy teacher used to show us Smothers Bros. videos after each exam. That's how I learned of them, 25 years after the fact.

@Joe: If it's not too late, consider Dylan's original "John Brown" from disc 2 of Best of Broadside or his live version from Unplugged. Great set!

also, the Pere Ubu song is lots better than the Spencer Tracy movie of the same name. Which is probably on TCM right now.

Remember Turn On (with Tim Conway)? It was another network's version of Laugh-In. It lasted one episode. In some markets, not even that long.

Ashok:

This is the best tribute I've heard to soldiers and the madness they are flung into. Great selections, with one notable exception: that "billy, don't be a hero" is dreadful. I haven't heard that since I was a child, like in more than 40 years. I thought it was a stinker then, too. Maybe that makes it worthwhile, I dunno.
