This Charlie May Yet Run The Wonka Factory

I am employed to do several tasks that require my time on the internet, and one of my "duties" is surfing You Tube, which I've come to realize is quite symbolic of mankind him/herself. You Tube is as beautiful, and wonderful, and crass and brilliant, and brutal, and ugly as Mankind can be.

Being an appreciator of art I am always on the look out for artists of all kind. I was on Nate Pinky’s You Tube channel, which is a must see; the thinking man’s “Three Stooges”, and I was going through some of the people Nate has subscribed to. The above young man is one of them.

Charlie, at first take may seem like a poster boy for adolescent girls, a pretty, nonthreatening adolescent, with a British accent. The thing is Charlie does have something to say and he says it in a genuine voice. It is often silliness, but it’s intelligent silliness, and quite entertaining.

More than a few times I have watched his channel and spent the odd moments in the day considering his comments and wondering how his talents will progress when he comes to an age with truly important things to say. By the way, Charlie is NOT a twin, he is doing both parts of the duet in the video. Haley Mills has nothing on this guy!

In His most recent pod, Charlie speak to the future; a thirty year old version of himself, and reminds this man of how he feels now, with some wandering wonderments of his imaginations about this yet to be Charlie-man. As a full grown adult it touched me and gave me hope that, though there is still much ugliness and brutality in the world, we are still in the business of producing people like Charlie.
