    If you ever doubted the genius of Jim Henson for a second (Good god, have you no heart?), this video is here to shame you back into belief. (You lousy heretic!) “Time Piece” is a short film (8 minutes) that is at once strange, whimsical, profound, and even (a big Kermit gulp, here) sexy. Long before there was the family-friendly “Rainbow Connection,” Henson debuted this experimental piece at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965. It was nominated for an Oscar in 1966.  The brilliantly percussive soundtrack was composed by jazz arranger Don Sebeski.

    Read more about Henson’s early experimental work at this fine blog. (Make certain you download his offbeat 1960 single, “Tick Tock.”)

    What a handsome young man he was! He looks like Andrew Bird with a beard.
