Are You Ready For The Summer?

With this weekend being Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of summer (I'm a solstice man, myself), I have to ask:

Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the sunshine? Are you ready for the birds and bees, the apple trees...and a whole lot of foolin' around?

Have a Camp North Star weekend, everybody - and have a great ol' big b-day, TT. Happy Friday.

Aquarius (18th May 1969)

Sorry this is a day late, but I wasn't around the innernets yesterday.

That said, this is the only link that made sense for Friday, May 18th - the 5th Dimension's Aquarius (18th May 1969).

Obviously, the cast of the 40 Year Old Virgin did a great cover and Hair spoof, but there's something special about the 5th Dimension's version that I can't put my finger on. Maybe it's because they're flying through space on a plate, like Cookie Puss in a Carvel commercial. Or maybe it's because they're having so much damn fun.

Whatever it is, I hold this video up as proof that drugs were stronger in the 60's.

Let the sun shine in this weekend. Happy (belated) Friday.

Bringing a Guitar to a Gun Fight

Some Fridays you just need the Nuge. Even supergroup/hair-band Nuge using his guitar to battle an entire police force.

Here's to taking it high enough this weekend. Happy Friday.

Hey You Guys

If you're not all about Spider-Man 3 this weekend, maybe you'll be all about this - the original live action Spidey, thanks to The Electric Company.

Two clips this week - the first is the opening credits to the EC, the second is the Spider-Man short. Not only did Spider-Man teach me how to read as a kid, but The Electric Company also exposed me to the high-caliber acting of Morgan Freeman. (He plays Dracula in this one.)

So don't forget to turn it on this weekend and bring in the power. Happy Friday.
