The greatest mystery of life, Father Powell explained, isn’t death. It’s life. “Life is exceptional”, he said. For all the fecundity of nature, it is surrounded by death. Far as we can tell, everything we see when we look to the heavens is dead as a gravestone. Yet it inspires the living. “Life”, he said, sounding like an old rabbi, “is the mystery”.

Via Bruce Warren. My first bigtime radio gig was a Music Director position at KKSF/San Francisco from 1987-90.  (My first encounter with major record label jive). This is a pretty weird promotional video for A&M Records; Rick Moranis is a bit over-the-top here, but not as much as you might think.
