Lara,

Is there away to block the comments on youtube? Close the section for comments?

I'm not sure, Mari.

I'll go have a look.

Edited later after stressful but quick journey. ugh

Apparently it can be done if you're using Google Chrome with AdblockPlus.

I found something else called TweakTube -YouTube Enhancer
It's a Mozilla Extension that goes to AddOns in Firefox (which I use).
I've just added it and trying to figure out all the settings. Not sure I like it at the moment.
I'll let you know if it's ok before you go downloading it.

Just an update...

So I got the YouTube Enhancer - Tweak Tube. It's now in Extensions in Addons in my Firefox settings top left of screen.

Maybe it's just me, but it was all pretty complicated. Trial and error really. There are dozens of settings in the extension so I had to try all of them to see what would change when I refreshed YouTube each time.

I've finally got it working so that all I get on the computer screen is a much larger than usual YouTube screen showing the song or the movie clip. No comments, no ads (yet), no lists and previews of other songs although that may be just the way I have the settings.

I'll keep playing with it when I get time.

Sad song, great tune.

This is a cover of Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know".

Enjoy.

PBS is running a documentary about Bob Dylan. I saw this when it first came out in 2005. It is amazing.
I love the story about his pretty much walking off with some guy's entire record collection when he was first staring out and looking for his sound.

Oh I love it, Mari. Wish I could watch that.

I have every Dylan song (almost) here in my living room. I used to own them on records but they all mysteriously went missing when I lived in a share house. grrrr A simple twist of fate? lol

Here's a little ditty from Joan Baez for Bob. It's classic. It's also sad.

Lara,
That is a fantastic clip with the two of them. And such a sad song.

Here is a clip from Martin Scorsese’s documentary. Joan Baez's interview figures prominently in the movie.
She still loves him.

I like her:

She is funny when she imitates his talk.

He says of how he treated her: "You can't be wise and in love at the same time."
