Random Music Videos . . .
 

With the explosion of great music videos on YouTube etc, how about a music video thread?

Any music. Beethoven, South Pacific, the Lone Ranger, Rush or Lou Reed. Embed some good music videos . . .

This is one I love. Donovan looking like a dork. Pete Seeger being Pete Seeger. And Rev. Gary Davis singing a stunning song.

How do you embed?:confused:

on the video page on youtube, just under the description of the video, there's a box labeled "embed". Click in there, select the code, then paste it into your post here. Voila!

Moderators... Mr. Fenton should be banned not only from PPOT but from this earth. OMG that was too funny, and yes, at the same time, so very sad. Love lost is never happy :D

I actually find that a pretty brilliant and open-minded bit of musical expression. Love is transcendent. Thanks for sharing.

I suppose I'm contractually obligated to share something, so I'll take us in a new direction here:
