Maybe it’s the fact that my team has yet to fail me this season!

Maybe it’s the glimmer of spring, through an 8 inch blizzard in the forcast.

Maybe it’s the promise of youth that our roster perpetually puts forth.

Maybe it’s the childhood recollection of spending beautiful summer nights in an air conditioned bubble.

I don’t know what it is, but I love opening day!

A special song, from my heart to yours:

I read another article about a possible NKOTB reunion. I never was a fan, but I checked out a YouTube video to bring back the memories. Man, I forgot how influential their clothing was in the early 90’s. I felt like I was back in Jr. High.

That got be thinking that I should do some more searching and see if I could find some other videos that I remember from those years, just to check on the fashion and see if they were nearly as cool.

Here are a few

Nu Thang

The title probably says it all. 1991 DC Talk. Similar styles and staging to the NKOTB. I sure miss the choreographed ensemble. Oh yeah… and the hats.

Where the Streets Have No Name

U2. From what I know, this wasn’t really staged. The conflict is mostly real. That makes it even more fun to watch.

Take On Me

A-Ha

Half a decade earlier than the rest, but my favorite music video.

I wish the upturned collar still “made the man”.

Secret Ambition
Michael W. Smith

I love the drama elements to this video. It was refreshing at the time, because most music videos were just people in odd settings lip synching with little context. This had a neat tie in to the story.

It’s also a good post for Passion week:

Why do I hate the Big Ten Network?

Because I had to listen to this play on the radio…
