Friday Vibes Video: Debbie & Kermit


Phew! Where did this week go?

I kind of slacked over here, for which I apologize, but trust it’s for the greater good – I think; maybe; I hope…. Anyway, to make up for it, here are Debbie Harry and Kermit the Frog singing “Rainbow Connection.”

I hope you find yours this weekend.

Friday Vibes Video: “Sugar Magnolia,” Live, 4/26/77

Spring’s almost upon us and I’m already pumping the Grateful Dead, getting in the airy, ethereal, earthy mood that comes with warmer weather.

I know “Sugar Magnolia” is a bit of a cliche, but it’s still great, so here’s a live performance from April 26, 1977, in Passaic, New Jersey, which then blends into “Sunshine Daydream.”

Have great weekends!

Friday Vibes Video: Nirvana Covering Bowie, Unplugged


In honor of “National Day of Unplugging,” the apparently annual 24-hour period in which we’re all encouraged to disconnect and detox from our devices and internets [advice many of us don’t take], here is perhaps the greatest MTV Unplugged performances of all time: Nirvana covering David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World.”

Have great weekends y’all! And tune in next week for pieces on the Girl Scouts, White House press briefings and a very timely, perhaps prescient “Etymological Adventure.”

Friday Vibes Video: “Mr. Wendal”

For this week’s Friday Vibes Video, here’s Arrested Development’s 1992 classic, “Mr. Wendal,” an aural reminder that homeless people are indeed people who should not be ignored, dismissed or disrespected. If you see a homeless person this weekend, take a moment to lend them a hand or, just as importantly, an ear.
