Friday Night Videos
Well, we had a run of 5 straight days where 2021 wasn't as awful as 2020, and then Wednesday happened. Now we've also got a cold front hitting Texas with winter freeze warnings and the potential for ice storms throughout the weekend. Joy. How about something fun as a distraction? Michael Nesmith, he of Monkees fame, had a long and interesting career after leaving that group. He's often credited with inventing the concept video (as opposed to the more common performance clips) which enabled the rise of MTV (which, trust me, used to actually play music videos). The song is "Rio" and the video is trippy and way ahead of its time. Or of its time. Whichever. The tropical vibes are certainly appreciated.
