Michael Jackson - Starlight (Demo)

 An interesting demo. Too bad it never worked out.

Moscow! Moscow! An-da-nim-don-denden...

 Ok, very funny youtube. Earlier I mentioned I was watching Reagan's visit to the U.S.S.R. and so I suppose that's the reason that youtube is suggesting this video to me:

The comments are good on the video too. One rightly points out: the look is Mongolian, the lyrics are German, the subject is Russia... What is going on down there? Who is the real hero? AH-AH-AH-AH-AH!

I was going to give deep analysis about how the style of the video represents the Soviet ideology but the video is German so I got nothin'.

I have 2 dares for you. 1) Watch this entire video. 2) Try not to watch it many times after that.

Ronald Reagan - Berlin Wall Speech

 I'm reading Ronald Reagan's autobiography right now and I got up to the speech at the Berlin Wall. So I figured I'd watch it.

Even today it's a stirring speech. 

Ronald Reagan's autobiography is good but it is detailed. It's 775 pages and most of it is the 8 years of the presidency.  The letters between Reagan and Gorbachev go back and forth, back and forth, on and on for quite a while.

I'm watching now Reagan speaking to Moscow State University and there's no interpreter. I can't figure out how that works. It doesn't seem possible that they all know english, in the Q&A section they're asking in Russian.... I don't see them wearing headphones as if there's an audio translation. I don't get it.

Game Grumps - RIP Vickie, You Will Not Be Missed

 

Vicki was weak and stupid.

Late Night - Conan and Andy on the Aisle

 Conan and Andy bring you up to speed on the Oscars (of 2000).

My Pick: The best movie is "The Insider" despite the parts meant for children. If you haven't seen it, it really is fantastic.

Game Grumps - Spoiler Owl

 It's the worst character since the FedEx Pope... it's Spoiler Owl!
