I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

Indeed. My HS band director was a superb sax player and really got into playing Yakety Sax for us.

And Benny Hill is good, clean, bawdy humour.
