Feelin Funky Friday!

Don't you wish Michael Jackson had stayed so cute and clean (I mean the music was "clean" back then - no "Billie Jean" or anything) and innocent like he is here? Don't you just want to squeeze his cheeks? ;) He was cute as a button!

I was around three years old when this video was made, but I do remember them being on variety shows and even in a Saturday-morning cartoon when I was older. Does anyone else remember that?

Also, notice one thing - this is NOT lip-synced. They are really singing AND playing instruments AND dancing. This is REAL talent.

I love music from this era because it's generally clean and just good fun music that you can dance to. I remember when my oldest was a toddler. We would watch VH1's 8 Track Flashback and have a lot of good fun dancing to it!

What kind of music do you like?




Jackson 5 I Want You Back 1970

NEA got out the vote.

So much for impartiality.

The NEA contacted a six-year-old boy last year, asking him to cast his vote for Barack Obama in November.

Here is his father's response:

In response, I would just like to say three things:

1. This makes 19 times you’ve contacted Josh Pullen to try to persuade him to vote for Barack Obama (through 9 pieces of mail and 10 phone calls). Once was fine, twice was tolerable, but 19 contacts is ridiculous.

2. Your staffer should at least know how to spell Senator Obama’s first name correctly.

3. Josh Pullen, this person you’ve contacted 19 times, is MY SON. HE IS SIX YEARS OLD.

Please make it stop.

The boy's father is a third-grade teacher at a public school.
