Monday Moving

Let's get your toes tapping on this Monday, shall we?

I know you know Otis Redding from "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" and "The Song Duckie Sings at the Record Store in the Movie Pretty in Pink". Here's a great live nugget from a talent who was taken from us too soon.

It's difficult to have a long, successful music career. It's actually pretty rare. It can be even more difficult when you've got young artists nipping at your heels. I believe "4 Minutes" is Madonna's answer to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl". I'm ok with that. Both are great songs!

Uruguay has given the world so many great artists like Los Shakers and um... 

Just turn this one up, ok? It's so good.

Hi Mr. Vert.

Not to judge, but Ducky sang to Try a Little Tenderness. And if John Cryer were half as cool as Ducky, I might watch 2.5 men.

    These selections are best enjoyed with your system's volume up as loud as possible.
