You gotta see this. (This link will lead you to an iTunes clip that you can download for free. It's perfectly safe, if not entirely intuitive.)One of the podcasts I subscribe to somehow unearthed (with the help of a PBS engineer in Dallas) a 1975 pledge-drive interview with four of those merry band of idiots, the Pythons: Michael Palin (he's the one above with the armadillo on his lap, if you must know), Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Graham Chapman. In the interview they're talking about how they just finished a film called Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Of course, this is exactly when that show was blowing my own mind in the suburbs of Jersey. The fashion in the clip is almost as wonderful as seeing Pythons be Pythons among Dallas's best and brightest.
Kudos to Jesse Thorne, America's Radio Sweetheart, for finding this and getting it out there. Subscribe to his show, The Sound of Young America.
