The Week That Was

Friday…Friday…Gotta get down on Friday!

Yes, a Rebecca Black reference.  Just this week, the flash-in-the-pan-of-the-year for 2011 got another reference, thanks to one Rick Perry… may their names forever be linked.

See, Miss Black’s “FRIDAY” video was up until this week, the most “disliked” video in the entire world, or at least on YouTube, which is the entire world when it comes to online videos.  Rick Perry’s homophobic Iowa ad about how horrible it is that gays can serve openly in the military surpassed the auto-tuned adolescent nightmare music video while  achieving over half a million “dislikes” (as opposed to 17K ‘likes’) on YouTube.  It’s now the most hated video in the history of the world.

Deservedly so.

Once again, I’ve been having lots of weird dreams this week. Perhaps the strangest was this very vivid dream where I discovered that Lady GaGa was living undercover in the upstairs apartment.

Tonight, on Friday, I had to get down on Friday.  So I travelled up to Snohomish to attend the open mic night that has been so important to me over these last year and a half or so…

You may have heard me play this song before, but it’s my favorite thing to perform, despite it’s difficulty…

    Great to see that you have gotten back there to perform. I think the Lady Gaga dream is a sign you need to do one of her songs. Thanks for reminding me that I need to go dislike that video of Perry again.
