We've seen and heard Neil Young's song "Heart of Gold" in literally thousands of contexts over the decades, but here's yet another new variation.
Here's a late Valentine's Day update to our original post last week.
From Image of the Week: "Heart of Gold" | The New England Journal of Medicine:
A 3-year-old girl presented to the emergency department after she had ingested a metal pendant.Good to know there's always help for those with lost hearts of gold.
She had not vomited and had no pain in her chest. A physical examination was unremarkable. A radiograph of the chest confirmed a heart-shaped foreign body in the proximal thoracic esophagus. Ingestions of foreign bodies are most commonly reported in children 1 to 3 years of age. Ingested items that warrant immediate endoscopic removal from the esophagus include sharp objects, button batteries, and foreign bodies that have been present for longer than 24 hours. Asymptomatic children who have ingested items that do not have potentially dangerous features may be observed without intervention to allow the foreign body to pass spontaneously. In this patient, the position of the foreign body appeared to be unchanged on repeat radiographs of the chest. The patient was taken to the operating room to undergo rigid endoscopy, and a gold heart-shaped pendant was removed (inset). Reinspection of the esophagus showed minor abrasions of the esophageal mucosa.
After the procedure, the patient recovered well and was discharged home.

More on why we are no longer searching for a heart of gold.
Tearful remembrance of the life, fun, music and wisdom that was Peter Tork. I was at this performance to see and hear my childhood idol, to talk with him after the show. He told wonderful stories and spoke so fondly of Stephen Stills.
ReplyDeleteMany sweet and sad stories about Davy. So funny, perfect timing in his stories. So giving of himself and his music, never more so than in this video where he shares a music lesson, comedy show and banjo gem:

He was my imaginary big brother in music and I already miss him terribly.
Life is short and no one knows what the next moment will bring. Open your mind while you have the opportunity, thereby gaining the treasures of wisdom, which in turn you can share abundantly with others, bringing them happiness.

Peter: If I wear two of them, can I record in stereo?

Good to see you Mr Henry!
ReplyDeleteBummer on Peter Tork. The Monkees were definitely a trip back in the day.
Here's something on Buffalo Springfield Meets The Monkees
