A "stream of consciousness" observation on music and how we relate to it. How we purchase, listen to and enjoy music is changing.

Featuring tunes and comments about artists, old and new in nearly every genre.

Temptations "My Girl" Speaks to a Younger Generation
Went to my daughter Sara's last Daddy-Daughter dance last night. She moves on to Royal Oak Middle School in the fall. From now on, they will all be "scumbag-Daughter" Dances but I'm a Dad. I'm allowed to hate the boys my daughter will end up going out with. Anyway, I digress. Mixed in with the stream of Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, the dread Bieber (makes Taylor Swift sound like the Stones in comparison) the DJ played one classic oldie. One tune that Daddy's and Daughter's agreed was great, danced to, in fact the dance floor was packed for this one. And that tune was.......
By the way, if you miss it at the beginning of this clip, this is a scene from the Temptations mini-series which gets rerun over and over on VH1 and BET. It was actually pretty cool.

Oh sure, Otis is out there somewhere with 4 younger men, entertaining America but it's not the same.......
