“Suddenly Seymour” is a heart-melting ballad made possible by killer vegetation

Music: Hear This: “Suddenly Seymour” is a heart-melting ballad made possible by killer vegetation

In Hear This, A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well—some inspired by a weekly theme and some not, but always songs worth hearing. This week, we asked: “What’s your favorite song sung by an actor?”

Even at the height of my high-school theater days (why yes, I did play one of the non-essential Jets in the Brighton Center For The Performing Arts’ presentation of West Side Story…), I was never one for listening to show tunes outside the context of a show. No offense to the Stephen Sondheims and the Dame Sir Andrew Lloyd Webbers of the world, but original cast recordings of show-stopping numbers leave me cold—there’s a theatricality in the performances and arrangements that I have trouble appreciating without the accompanying choreography, costumes, overarching story, etc. I’ve had friends slip songs from The Last Five Years onto mix ...

3 Mules Go for a Walk on San Vicente

3 Mules Go for a Walk on San Vicente

A silver-haired man with three mules in tow was spotted Monday evening sauntering along the median of San Vicente Boulevard.

A reader captured their trip as she drove through Brentwood—her picture shows the animals under blue skies near Brentwood's coral trees, tall glass office buildings in the background.

What's a trip to the Westside without a stop at the beach? A Reddit user posted a picture of the same man with his mules at the same day near the sand in Santa Monica.

It was a rare sight for locals, who are more accustomed to watching runners glide down the grassy median, but not as uncommon as you might think. Other Reddit readers have caught glimpses of the nomadic quartet across the Southland, including in Torrance, Fullerton and Culver City.

Their owner, according to ABC's San Diego affiliate, is 65-year-old John Sears, who goes by the name "Mule." The animals are named, "Little Girl," "Lady" and "Pepper."

"We're claiming our right to be what we are move freely in all four directions," "Mule" told ABC 10. But that has reportedly gotten him into some trouble with the authorities—he was given a hefty citation for unlawful camping in Torrey Pines, ABC 10 reported.

Mule is fighting the citation in court, according to his website, 3mules.com.
