As another work-heavy Monday rolls around, we may need to pause and remember to “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.”

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life” was written and sung by Eric Idle and appeared in Monty Python’s Life of Brian film of August, 1979.

Sunday before last, July 20th, I watched Monty Python’s “final” reunion show live-streamed to a California movie theater from London. The show was quite wonderful and hilarious and I’m happy to say the Pythons have still got it. The event was bittersweet though as Graham Chapman was unable to attend (for obvious reasons) and the troupe may never perform again. Seek out the show when it eventually releases on DVD/Blu-ray.
