www.ted.com At TEDMED, Eric Dishman makes a bold argument The US health care system is like computing circa 1959, tethered to big, unwieldy central systems: hospitals, doctors, nursing homes. As our aging population booms, it’s imperative, he says, to create personal, networked, home-based health care for all.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

Claim Fair Use Lyrics [Verse 1] It’s like ’09 in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn’t ready And your back hurt, and your neck hurt, and you smoking heavy And I sit next to you, and I lecture you ’cause those are deadly And then you ask shit and we argue about spending money on bullshit And you tell me I’m just like my father, my one button, you push it Now it’s “Fuck you, I hate you, I’ll move out in a heartbeat” And I leave out and you call me, tell me that your sorry You love me, and I love you, and your heart hurts, mine does too And it’s just words and they cut deep but it’s our world, it’s just us two I see painkillers on the kitchen counter, I hate to see, it all hurt so bad But maybe I wouldn’t have worked as hard If you were healthy and it weren’t so bad Uh, maybe I should walk up the street, and try and get a job at the bank Cause leave it up to me, J, and neeks, we’re probably gonna end up robbing a bank Then Wayne calls on my phone, conversation wasn’t that long Gets me a flight to Houston in the morning Oh it’s my time, yeah, it’s on He’s thinking of signing me, I come home We make a mixtape with seventeen songs I almost get a Grammy off of that thing They love your son and that boy gone You get the operation you dreamed of And I finally send you to Rome I get to make good on my promise It all worked out girl, we shoulda known Cause you deserve it [Hook] This shit …

This was Bobby Vee’s first and only #1 hit. Released on August 7th,1961, it immediately began to climb up the Billboard Charts, and by September 18th, 1961 it had reached #1, staying there for three weeks. It is no surprise, given it was written by the legendary Brill Building songwriting team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song featured an irresistible melody along with inspired and sincere lyrics. Add to that an equally sincere and strong vocal performance by Bobby Vee and you have one of the greatest hits of all time. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Bobby Vee after a show four years ago, and he took the time to talk to my wife and I, and to sign a rare EP from Barcelona, Spain. He even commented that he had never seen it before. He also signed other items and took pictures, showing us what a kind and down-to-earth guy he really is. I’m glad I got the opportunity to shake his hand and to thank him for all the musical pleasure he had provided us over the years. So in his honor I give you this humble video.
