  • Hi everyone!
    So I was thinking. There seriously has been a ton of things Mister Rogers said on TV when I was a kid that I still try and practice today. Literally one of my heroes to this day. And I didn't realize it as a kid either but Johnny Costa (the pianist) improved the songs every show and absolutely shredded them haha. So I figured why not give Mister Roger' tunes a shot. Thank you all so much for everything. It means the world. BIG ups for always rockin my casbah!

    This is the song where Mr. Rogers comes home and changes spiky black leather jackets.

    Fred Rodgers was one of the rare few who can unequivocally be labeled a badass not for fighting in some war or facing down some aspect of nature, but just for being so nice, caring so much for his fellow man, and working so hard & patiently to spread that attitude to others.

      @SELongB Před 8 lety +11

      +Synchronizor He stared down a psuedo force of nature, bureaucracy.
      Congress was going to cut public TV funding Fred Rodgers appeared before them to make a case for public TV. After his speech, not only did congress not cut public tv funding, they expanded it.

      SELongB I was more referring to things like wrestling bears or surviving a mountain storm.
      Still, his speech before the Senate shows just how passionate he was about nurturing and educating kids. His influential advocacy for home video recording (in front of the United States Supreme Court, no less) is another good "Mr. Rogers goes to Washington" story.

    If only Fred Rogers could still be with us today to see how the kids he loved grew up and how much love they are giving back.

  • @danielbox8719

    I literally started crying tears of joy and nostalgia. Mr. Rogers taught me the more important things in life: sharing and how to be a friend.

  • @MandolangoOLD
    @MandolangoOLD Před 7 lety +23

    Mister Rogers would be proud as hell of this and love how he inspired you to be the insane shredder that you are.

    I imagine if Mr Rogers were still alive he would approve and probably might have invited Eric on the show.

  • @Crazyness2122

    This makes me happy and sad at the same time. I've lived in Pittsburgh all my, life born and raised here. Been on this earth since 1983 and I never got a chance to meet Fred. Sad.

  • @johndoe-hr6vp
    @johndoe-hr6vp Před 8 lety +70

    considering johnny costa was one of the great jazz pianists, who regularly improvised around the melody and played the music live in each episode, i was sort of expecting more layers with improvised metal riffs around the melody. I liked it still, just want to encourage you to revisit it again sometime.

    • @331Erock

    • @KainYusanagi

      +331Erock Why not challenge yourself to improve to do it justice as well? :D

    • @thorspower
      @thorspower Před 8 lety +1

      +Kain Yusanagi For the reason sometimes you just know when you are licked and doing it might be something he was not happy with at all.

    • @johndoe-hr6vp
      @johndoe-hr6vp Před 8 lety +1

      +331Erock i suppose the internet isnt the place to experiment, but it would be cool to revisit in the future if the views warrant it.

      "...know when you are licked..." No such thing. You never know you are beaten until you strive to your absolute utmost to try. Anything less is merely a shade of defeatism.

    Mr. Rodgers was based in Pittsburgh, and I got to see the model neighborhood in person.. The network that produced the show has it in a glass display case in their lobby. It's cool as hell to see it.

  • @Dholmes1022
    @Dholmes1022 Před 8 lety +1

    Mister Rogers was a true childhood hero, not in action, or to save the day, but to show it is fun to learn, and how to be a good human being. I watched him all the time when I was young, and I will always remember the lessons he taught about how to live our lives and to help others.

  • @Godmason
    @Godmason Před 8 lety

    The intro to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood reminds me of so many things from my childhood.
    Being carried downstairs by my father, half-awake to catch him at 6:30 on PBS.
    Lying on that stiff brown couch that we only threw out a few months ago.
    The sound of the space heater downstairs, as my dad typed away.
    The smell of apple cinnamon oatmeal upstairs.
    I'm not much of a believer in an afterlife, but the existence of people like Fred Rogers, whose lives had a positive impact upon the world, make me wish for a grand repository of souls, if even for only the best of us humans.
