I'm choosing to remember this Michael. Pre-whacko. Off the Wall is actually my favorite album of his. The videos for these songs may not have been as artistically "great" as those from Thriller and subsequent albums, but the songs were great, and look how happy he seems. The seeds for all the weirdness that came later were likely long since planted, but we didn't know that at the time. So, a return to days of innocence...

MySpace vs. Facebook...Smackdown

Seems Facebook is winning right now. Full disclosure: I'm big on Facebook right now, which is probably the reason I'm not posting as often on this blog. Friend me on Facebook and enjoy the ride! One thing of interest in this article is the prediction that "technology will evolve to the point where it leaves MySpace, Facebook or Twitter behind. " Wonder what that will look like? Hope it's not via cell phones.

Not a happy anniversary, by any means.

Wonderous

Still glowing from the PBS Great Performances (apt) showing of Stevie Wonder last night.

Here he is on Sesame Street in the 70s singing one of his all-time classics...

You probably already knew this, but don't upload any photos to the web that you don't want to see there for a Long time - even if you delete them.
