Actually, he could be trying something really interesting- years ago, I was in a young people’s group that loved to sing. One night, while the mood was high, about 30 of us stood in a circle and someone started singing a round, which was soon joined by a different one. Eventually, there was Row Your Boat, Frère Jacques, Three Blind Mice, White Coral Bells and maybe some others, all being sung simultaneously- and it worked!

No, the mayor of Portland Oregon gives the worst Ted talks. Non pareil.

The speaker on stage needs a banjo and an arrow through his head. ;-)

It’s actually a highly edifying talk on the invention of the “round”, a necessary precursor to the wheel.
