Thought this was a nuanced discussion.

“Schoolhouse Rock” ABC Special Ended The Right Way!
Enjoyed last night’s special thoroughly! Boy, did “America Rock” have some straight-up hegemonic thought in it! LOL!
I liked how the producers skirted that no Black cartoons made the Top 5 by including “Verb! That’s What’s Happening” at the end as a bonus, saying it just missed the cut! But I didn’t care: any excuse to watch it I will gladly take! LOL! 🙂
Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda”
For some reason, this music video is breaking download records. 🙂
(This may be the first time I’ve ever wanted to be Drake! LOL!)
The one-millionth sign that pornography is mainstream. And it’s a little sad to see Sir Mix-a-Lot’s (admittedly misogynistic) anti-white supremacy anthem further degenerated, even if it’s done tongue-in-cheek (?).
AUGUST 25th UPDATE: And Sir Mix-a-Lot liked it, and the son set in the West. 🙂
AUGUST 25th UPDATE: Okay…….. And then there was this:
“Doctor Who:” The Countdown Continues!
*Whew!* That Was Close! LOL!
That aborted Time Warner-News Corp. merger would not only have created a ridiculously large world media conglomerate, it would have ALMOST merged Marvel and DC movies! *Gulp* NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT! 😡
And Now We Are Eight!
Yep, SASWAT, it’s that time! THANKS!
Boy, I’m old. This is from 1973, when I was five! I LOVED this song, and attempted to memorize ALL of it back then!
re: Rangel: So I Guess My Only Question Is……….
…………did he win/lose because of, or despite, this song? LOL! 🙂
Below is what he looked like when he beat Adam Clayton Powell.
And now:
And here’s a timeline.
Thank You, Casey Kasem
I’ve told several people that I didn’t know what white radio was until I was in my early teens, in the early 80s. What I don’t mention was that when I did “discover” white radio, I found (? was told about?) Casey Kasem and that was it. Casey Kasem and “American Top 40” WAS radio to me.
When I decided I wanted to be a broadcaster, I started to imitate Casey Kasem. Listen to me read something today, and you’ll hear me pause before the last three words or so of a paragraph. That’s me still doing Casey Kasem.
And, Speaking of “Star Trek” (re: Levar Burton Reading Rainbow/Kickstarter Update)……………..
………….I found this a GREAT idea! They’ll make $5 million for sure, now! (Although they were going to, anyway 🙂 )
For some reason, I’ve become obsessed recently with the LYRICS to “Star Trek: TOS.” It’s a little known fact. Here they are (and good going, whichever fan sang this 🙂 ):
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand’ring in star-flight
I know
He’ll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.
