I often think about media and the effects it has on our culture. This morning I heard a song I haven't heard in a very long time. It was Everyday by Buddy Holly. It made me smile and remember how much fun it was when we were kids to sing along with the oldies. Granted media of every generation has its ups and downs and by no stretch am I saying that the music of the 5o's and 60's was perfect or without its own flaws. I am saying though that the deeper we get into the freedom to be you and me movement, where we can say and do whatever we want, the more immoral and repulsive our lyrics are becoming.
Today fifty years ago we lost 3 major rock legends / icons. On February 3rd, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valen's and the Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash. In honor of these men and the music that still inspires me today I am posting the following song...
I hope the music of this generation holds fond memories for you too. In memory of two other great legends that have passed away I am adding a less serious song for your listening pleasure...
I hope you enjoyed a little Johnny Cash humor. Impersonating of course Elvis Presley. Let's all listen to some "oldies" tonight and remember these legends.

Great post! I love the videos and I agree that the media definitely affects our culture and our minds. Garbage in, garbage out. It's all in what we put it.
I love the Johnny Cash video. What a stitch!
