Song — 1000 A.D.
Tyler Cowen, at Marginal Revolution, and Jason Kottke, at kottke.org, recently posed the question, if you found yourself transported to 1000 A.D. what would you do to survive? The comments threads alone are worth their weight in gold, but a young man with the voice of an angel came along and set the whole thing to song. But father, I don’t want large tracts of land.
I did my best to capture as many of the best comments as possible but 3:26 isn’t a huge canvas. I’m particularly sad that I never figured out a way to mention how bad the people must have smelled, or my plan to get rich selling soap.
