Tonight's music video

My first experience with a PBS fundraiser was about 27 years ago. I had just gotten cable TV and was channel surfing when I came across an episode of Dr. Who (with Tom Baker). I had never seen the Dr. before and liked it. After the episode was over the student volunteers from the University of North Carolina came on and said that if we liked Dr. Who we had better pony up some cash or he would be going away.

I was reminded of the National Lampoon cover with the picture of the cute dog with the gun to its head and the caption "buy this magazine or we'll shoot this dog".

The next PBS fundraiser I saw was many years later when they were showing Riverdance. Then next year it was the All Star Bluegrass Celebration and after that Celtic Woman and tonight I see they are showing Celtic Woman: A New Journey.

Then a few years ago I tuned in when they weren't begging for money and I saw a naked black dude dancing to the refrain, "niggers and queers, niggers and queers".

Here is a word of advice to the good folks over at Public Television. More sublimely beautiful women with ethereally beautiful voices singing beautiful and uplifting songs and less "niggers and queers" and you won't have to beg for money. People will be lining up to fund you.

Which brings us to tonight's music video. This is Chloe Agnew singing Walking In The Air from the first Celtic Woman DVD.

I hope you enjoy this because youtube has several more Celtic Woman videos and I plan to show them all.
