No, it's got nothing to do with southern lit, but I just had to share this, it's simply amazing. Fred Knittle performing Coldplay's "Fix You":
This is from a documentary shown on Channel 4 in the UK called 'Young@Heart'; the name of the New England octogenarian chorus line. The performer here is Fred Knittle, who suffers from congestive heart failure. This song was intended to be a duet between Fred and another chorus member, Bob Salvini. Sadly, Bob died of a heart attack and it was left to Fred to carry the song on his own.
Check out the chorus' website here:
