That song [Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)] is really straight out of the old Welsh mythology. Rhiannon is the Goddess of Steeds and the Maker of Birds, and her song is a song that takes away pain. When you hear her song, you close your eyes and fall asleep, and when you wake up the pain is gone or the danger is gone and you'll see her three birds flying away. That's the legend. So, whenever I sing the song, I always think of that... ~Stevie Nicks, Music Connection, 1994

And I do regularly post videos for my fellow DUers who may be without cable or even TV and don't stay up as late as I do (though I sure miss the late night guys and their humor!), and I've not only been here since early 2003, but a lot of my posts were as a DU.2 mod and as a DU.3 host and then on MIRT. So I try to give back - and I appreciate all I've learned from everyone here more than I can say!

And, as was said above, I know that not everyone here has cable or even TV, so I try to post important news. My first DU service was as an LBN mod back on DU.2, so I tend to post the videos that report the news of the day - and the late night humor when it's available, we sure could use that these days...

And I have no idea where I could find them on my own!

Having been here as long as I have does have its advantages. I was fairly new to the internets when I first found DU (though I did work with a computer for my job), but over the years here (DU.1 in early 2003), I've gotten lots of practice. And one thing about DU, it's got to be the most user friendly site on the planet - I felt that from the beginning, but the admins are still always working on improvements.

Another DUer, fairly new to DU, asked about a segment by Rachel Maddow because she'd missed it. So, to be helpful, found what she was asking about and posted it - and it proved pretty popular, so I started posting other news segments and especially the late night comedy guys for those DUers who don't stay up as late as I do. With the news we had to deal with during the Covid/TFG years, we sure needed comedy here more than ever.

Every time I missed Colbert or Kimmel, I'd check DU and you had them posted!

And when I was without internets one week in the mountains of Vermont, he was nice enough to cover for me - we couldn't disappoint those who don't stay up as late as we do. I'm told that some fans watch Colbert's monologue with their morning coffee.

This was while the thing was in our White House. I'm certain it was you posting Colbert, but thought you did Kimmel vids at the time, too.

I do remember "A Closer Look" giving me some much-needed laughs at the time.

I just did a Search. And that makes sense since we were particularly desperate for humor right about then. And Seth Meyers used to occasionally lead with "A Closer Look," but since TFG, he offers it just about every night. I used to like his "Ya Burnt!" but "A Closer Look" is much more political. And I also started posting "The Daily Show," too. And John Oliver on Sundays. Like I said, between TFG and Covid, we really could used all the comedy we can get - and TFG is not over yet... We sure miss them right now, I keep imagining what Colbert would have to say to put it all in perspective. *sigh*

I've actually been a little self conscious about my post count, though as I said, I've been a DU.2 mod and a DU.3 host and on MIRT which is responsible for the majority of them, not to mention my join date of February 2003 which was on DU.1.

But I really appreciate knowing I have friends here, that means a lot, and I'd reply to everyone, though that would send me on the way to my next Milestone, LOL. And thanks to my buddy, question everything, for the reminder - I might have missed it otherwise - not to mention the reminder that I've made friends here, truly the best site on the internets.
