Truth be told, I reached saturation on the constant pounding refrain of Michael Jackson mania in the media pretty quickly. But believe the hype about Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx' BET Awards performance: It was pretty darned good. Thanks, Mary Huhn.

Credit goes to Bill Shaw for bringing my attention to this one. I didn't know Janis Joplin had appeared on Tom Jones' 1969 telecast "This Is Tom Jones." Without further ado ...
All That's Left
Set the wayback machine for a Saturday afternoon in the early 1970s. The cartoons have just ended and here comes "SOOOOOOOUL TRAIN!"
Thanks, Paul Cantin, for a trip back to when lip-synching was so new it was barely even faked.

Traffic Jam
It was a good day to hear this tune: Makes me feed so bad I feel better. And I'd never noticed, but in the opening seconds of the clip doesn't Winwood bear a passing resemblance to John Lennon? (But I guess more than a few people did back then.) Thanks, Paul Cantin.

Message in A Bottle
As a bit of an offering while I knock out a couple of English courses, please accept these periodic links to music videos. A couple of my friends have a way of posting the best ones to facebook, so I'll do them the tribute (and you the favor) of publishing them here. Sadly, blogger won't let me embed YouTube videos anymore, but do enjoy the link!
