Gordon Gano and The Lost Bayou Ramblers – Blister In The Sun

Video 4 Comments

So, last week I happened to see one of my favorite cajun bands featuring Gordon Gano. It was probably the craziest show I've ever seen. This pales in comparison, but it's all you're going to get. This video was shot by a good friend as well. That's a weird thing when you search for something on the internet and select a random video only to discover a friend made it.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band – Go To The Mardi Gras

Video

I'd rub it in by saying that I know it's a regular old tuesday everywhere else, but we're partying like it's going out of style (even if the weather is 36˚ and raining...). Seriously, never seen a crowd this deep and crazy during mardi gras before. Enjoy your Feburary Tuesday, citizens, but y'all should really consider a trip to NOLA for the parade season sometime. I'll be happy to meet anyone in front of Johnny White's pub on the corner of Orleans and Bourbon any day of the week.

Martin Luther King JR – I Have A Dream

Video 11 Comments

I know that this may seem like an easy out for the video of the day, but I'd never really listened to this speech. On the day that most* of us take off from work to celebrate the birth of MLK, I think it's only right to listen to his words, and to examine our relationship to injustice and prejudice. Today is a day to reflect, and a day to challenge long held beliefs, in an effort to effect positive change in our world through nonviolent intervention.

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

If only we could all find a way to channel our feelings of injustice, of inequity, into such a positive, non-violent action for change.

*I work for an institution that believes MLK day isn't actually a holiday. I'm afforded two days off for Mardi Gras. Draw your own conclusions.
