Jon Jacob: What is Free Thinking for?
We asked Jon Jacob, You Tube's best known admirer of the 麻豆社 Proms, to sample Free Thinking at this year's festival in Liverpool. His remit was to try to answer the question 'What is Free Thinking for?'
Jon's first video, below, was shot in anticipation of his trip. Watch the one below that to see how how he got on.Clicking on parts of the two videos below can take you to You Tube. The 麻豆社 is not responsible for the content of external websites. Some text in Jon's personal You Tube channel includes strong language. No really wild words in his videos for Free Thinking though. Jon sports a few wild facial expressions but there's no 麻豆社 disclaimer for them.

I agree. Would be a treat to have Blegvad cartoons/eartoons, etc. on a regular basis. That being said, Thank you for providing the latest offering from Mr. Blegvad, animated, no less!

Why Blegvad cartoons only for the festival? Why not all the time???
