Saturday Nite Video Flashback: California Dreamin'
And that's probably where Hillary is wishing she was right about now.
Me too, but for different reasons.

Saturday Nite Video Flashback: The Police - ..._ _ _ ...
Here's a clip of the very first time The Police played Message in a Bottle live.
And speaking of SOS, Sting was also on hand at the Live Earth concert to sing this song as well.
Don't forget to shed a tear for the global warming denying wingnuts who just had to force themselves to watch Live Earth so they could be sure to add the performing (traitorous, Al Gore-worshipping) artists to their Enemies of the Wingnut World (EWW) and Youth Unglued over the Climate Konspiracy (YUCK) hate lists. I hear they're planning their own little concert though with Michelle Malkin as the featured singer. I'm sure that will draw 2 billion viewers too.
(I'm sorry. I just spit my drink all over my monitor. Be right back...)

Saturday Nite Video Flashback: Black Uhuru
This one's kind of a selfish pick. (I suppose they all are.) I found this clip on YouTube with the comment that it was filmed at Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay in 1986, which I attended when I did some work for a Jamaican reggae magazine down there. I first went to Sunsplash in 1984. Good times. Irie.
So, I suppose unless you're a die hard reggae fan like me, you may never have even heard of Black Uhuru, but they had an unmistakable sound - heavy on the rhythm (Sly & Robbie style) with the social militancy message of the times. They're still around in a morphed form but, as usual, the classics are their anthems.
This is General Penitentiary:
I was also introduced to Black Uhuru member Michael Rose that summer when we ran into him at a vegetable market in Kingston. Don't ask me what we talked about though. That was a long time ago. But, it was one of the highlights of my trip as well.

Saturday Nite Video Flashback: The Sound of Silence
"The Sound of Silence" is the song that propelled the 1960s folk music duo Simon and Garfunkel to popularity. It was written by Paul Simon in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Simon conceived of the song as a way of capturing the emotional trauma felt by many Americans left by the sudden death of a vigorous and visionary leader.
