It's been 40 years since the first Monty Python broadcast. Christopher Hitchens pays tribute. He points out that we can no longer imagine a world without Python references.
I discovered Python when PBS in St. Louis aired "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" late night--so that they could (mostly) show it uncensored. It wasn't long before everyone in my high school was referencing it. A particular gift wrought by the invention of the DVD: I own all their episodes and almost all their movies.
And now son Logan is a big fan, too. This stuff is timeless.
P.S. If you'll look to the right of the article, a couple of clicks will take you to pictorials featuring Shakira and Penelope Cruz. And then your day is complete.
