It's all about the commercials

Coca-Cola Classic ad: Mean Joe Green [Full Version] (1979)

I remember this commercial. I was 5 years old and that was the year we move to the States. So you can imagine how delighted I was when I watched this.

Coke Zero "Mean Troy" Ad (Long)

I didn't watch the commerical during the game because, I'll admit it, I didn't really care. Plus I had to work and twitter was much more entertaining than having to watch it. So I watched it here and I even saw that MC Hammer Cash 4 Gold commercial. Wow. That's pretty bad but everyone's gotta pay their bills...

anyway, I hope your team won and if your team didn't win..well, maybe next year! And hey, at least the Cardinals made it the Super Bowl after a 40 year absence.

Did you have a favorite ad? The Pepsi ads were lame though and I'm not the only one saying that. I did enjoy all the movie previews and someone, I think RPM, mentioned the SOBE dancers commercial. That was pretty entertaining too.

Anyway, I did see Jennifer Hudson sing and she was incredible! Wow..that girl just has the most amazing voice ever! Wow!

Happy Sunday evening! off to bed!

Rest In Peace Paul Newman

"You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career. "

Paulnewman

Paul Newman is my favorite actor of all time. I used to tell people that I would totally marry him even though is was in his 80s. I really admired him as an actor and a person. I think, we just lost one of the greatest actors of our time. I am glad his work, his food products and his good deeds will still carry on. Rest In Peace Mr. Newman! Thanks for everything you have shared with the world. One of your biggest fans, Miss Martini

For your listening pleasure: Selections from RCP 2

I thought it would be a great idea to post some of the songs I'm converting. Every time I do a batch of albums, I will pick the tracks that just stand out. So, here are some tracks for your listening pleasure:

You Are My Sunshine

Ray Charles with Raelets & Margie Hendrix

This first track is Ray Charles with the Raelets & Margie Hendrix. I've never heard this song before but it is a pretty good version and it's off of ABC-Paramount. The B-side is "Your Cheatin' Heart" by Hank Williams. It was released in 1962 and I do not really hear this version on the Oldies stations so here you go. Also, I got it for 50 cents! What a bargain for a great song!

The next track is the B-Side of Otis Redding's "Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa (sad song)." He really did die way too young. I often wonder what his music would sound like in the 70s. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - one of my all time favorite songs - really was a departure from his earlier recordings but you can only guess if that was reflecting some bigger move or if it was just a one time thing he was trying out. When I lived in Santa Cruz, my roommates and I would sit up on the roof (there was a door there because supposedly the owners were building a balcony) and blast Otis Redding's Greatest Hits, smoke cigarettes, drink beers and watch the boats in the harbor. It was one of those truly great moments that happened pretty frequently living in that small house. So here you go, "Good To Me" by Otis Redding.

Good To Me

George Michael. What happened to him? I mean, I still like him. I borrowed his greatest hits and it does have every George Michael song that I love. Here is one of my favorite songs and the video was pretty cool too. Back when there were "super models."

2-05 Freedom 90

George Michael

Back in Wham! days, my friend, Joy was OBSESSED with George Michael. She knew every song and every album he ever released. One night, I was working on a painting project and she was over spending the night. She is part of the big Armontino clan. It was late...or early depending on how you are and she was delirious. My sister was in the kitchen, I was sitting at the dining room table, and she was laid out on 2 dining room chairs singing every George Michael song. Starting from Wham!'s first album on up to whatever was released that year. It was years of albums but she did it! I still laugh when I think about it. Well, now she's a mom of 3 and probably does not think much about George Michael but if she did, I wonder what she would be thinking of the man of her dreams (at the time). I wonder if he still has good shows? He was such a great entertainer. What is the moral of this story? Don't do drugs kids. or at least don't get caught. Ouch.
