Beastie Boys' Time to Build w/Super Friends

You have to love The Beastie Boys and Super Friends - what a combination. (I'm guessin' if you're under about 25 or so, you can't appreciate what a wonderful combination it is. Sorry.) My one disappointment - no Gleek in the video. Oh well, no one's perfect. However, best of all, the 'boys rap about global warming, OPEC, Bush, the military, etc. It doesn't get much better than this.

Anyway, it's the mid-day music post - enjoy.

Philadelphia is a sweltering pot of stew today - I'm headed outside with my camera to wilt, sweat, and count my lucky stars that there are about 150 days until the election. With all of the bad news we are getting on just about an hourly basis today, it's the one thing I'm clingin' to, politically. I'm very blessed in a number of other ways, and I know that, but things seem to be getting tougher and tougher.

Well, as Thom Hartman always says, "Despair is not an option," and he's right.

The Democratic Super Friends

If you're not in Generation X, you may not truly appreciate this.

It's a modern-day version of The Super Friends, a cartoon I never missed on Saturday mornings when I was growing up.

I just watched this three times in a row. It's awesome. So far in this young presidential campaign, this is my favorite parody video.
