There’s a 10 year old drummer from Japan, Yoyoka, who has been a YouTube star for a couple years. But I had never heard of her until yesterday. Here she is playing with her family. An adorable kid playing a Rage Against the Machine song with her mom on vocals. How often do you see that?

One channel I stumbled across is that of Slotlady: > **[All Casino Action](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Qx9Sd5jty3uZJ9L0dlNRg)** > > Follow us on social media! > > Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allcasinoaction/ > Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/allcasinoaction/ > Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/allcasinoaction/ > > Support my channel by joining my Patreon!... She videos herself playing slot machines and table games at various casinos. It’s weirdly fascinating–sometimes she wins big; other times, wins a little; and other times loses everything. She comments on everything as she plays (“Oh, that’s sour” is often heard if a slot game is not paying off), and explains the rules of the games–what you need for the bonus round on a slot game, or she explains how to play the table games. As I said, it’s weirdly fascinating; and as one who occasionally goes to a casino, I find it educational. At the very least, I’ve discovered games that I never want to play. ---

When it came out I didn’t think this song would make a big mark. But the older I get, the more it grows on me. I especially like this version. There really is something special about a big group of singers in support. FTR this was posted Jan 2017 so it’s a COVID guilt free zone. People singing to each other about insecurities…just, wow.
