Zooey Deschanel wrote the following about this video on her Youtube page: “I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky …
I just want to know if anybody else remembers this song like I do from the 70’s? It was fun and subversive:)) – Anne Seymour Mette
Could Adele cover this song? Yes. Someone should do a punk version of it. Now that would sound cool. I recommend Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They do great punk covers of songs that were never punk. – Holly Homan
I’m old enough to remember when this was played regularly on the radio. I also used to sing it to my oldest son when he got interested in basketball. You don’t get songs like this any more. Cheech and Chong were creative and actually ignited thinking in people. Commercial radio won’t touch that level of …
I’ve been taking some time to reflect on this year, and I’ve compiled, for your pleasure, my Top 10 list of Things That Should Be Left Behind in 2011. See if you agree. 10. The sadly used-up word “amazing.” If you’re using it as a descriptor, it probably isn’t. 9. Anyone connected with the “Royal …
This is deliciously droll. Two brothers go back over old home movies and provide DVD-style commentary from the actor’s point of view:

Chris Estey – I could write a book. Wait, I am. …

“It’s a good thing I’m declawed, kid, or you’d have one of those head tattoos by now… there, there, that’s right – keep quiet or I’ll steal your breath.” – Steve Stav
Great, great video. I’m not personally over-fond of German Shepherds… but man, it’s hard to top them as a companion or nanny dog. I’ve known a German Shepherd family dog or two who… well, you just wouldn’t want to look at their “child” the wrong way; good way to lose a body part. – Steve …
Thanks to Anne Seymour Mette:
In the fall of 1983, a group of classmates from the Moody Bible Institute went to see The Resurrection Band play a live show at the Odeon, a suburban Chicago venue that often featured the latest in Christian contemporary bands. At the show my friend John and I ditched the group and headed to the …

Here’s a song by UK Military Wives:
10:33pm Christmas Night – Fear not, Portland, I’m back. It’s late on Xmas day and the Bard of Black Friday, the poet of post-Christmas discount shopping, is back in the snippy, brisk Walmart parking lot coming to you live and bringing you all the latest news of crowds, shopper’s riots, pepper spraying for bargains and …
