Re: Music - Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow - perfect mix of Rock, Blues, Funk and the 1970's. Lava lamp, disco ball or smoke machine optional. Just be careful listening in the car, you may find yourself going 90 without noticing (full disclosure, me driving 90 is about as likely as the Star Wars Holiday Special coming out on Blu-Ray)
Re: Holiday Music - Hate it with a capital H - only because it is in such heavy rotation this time of year. If I have to spend more than 10 minutes at the mall I have a problem. In small doses, however, Burl Ives's Christmas album is awesome.
Back in 5th grade, as one of two Jewish kids in the whole grade, I remember kids asking me why I knew the words to Jingle Bells or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Not "how" but "why" as if it were somehow illegal. Granted this was the same group of kids who did not know New York was both a city and a state. No offense to the fine people of Iowa - I'm sure it was a fluke.
Re: Star Wars Holiday Special - I remember watching this when it originally aired - it is pretty awful if you can find it online. Worth watching for the pure insanity.
Ok, I'll save you the trouble:
Happy Life Day.
