Happy Birthday Double Play! “You’re Alive” By The Alphabeats
So, I am celebrating two wonderful birthdays today! The first, as many of you know, is Sesame Street, which first graced public television 40 years ago today. YAAAAAAAYYYYY!
On my way to where the air is sweeeeeet.
I’d also like to wish a happy, happy 35th to my most favoritest Scorpio…who is usually lurkin’ around here somewhere. (Yeah, yeah. I see you, homeskillet. Chillax.) To that end, I give y’all what is still an awesomely funky song clip. Sesame Street seemed like the most amazing place in the world, and I really, REALLY wanted to get there. And decades later, I would: Sesame Street, while fictional, was based on a neighborhood in Harlem. Neat, huh? Yup. Anyway, while I finish these posts about cops, Black hair, cartoon villains, and my novel, please sit back and enjoy.

Did I ever tell you that my friend Ruby was one of the little kids on Sesame Street back in the day? One day she saw Big Bird walking around without his head and that was that. (The other kids, hard boiled by the showbiz, didn’t even blink)

Okay, Big Bird without his head would have done me some serious and permanent psychological harm. Also, I was a vurry, vurry sensitive bébé, so the knowledge that “Sesame Street” was actually just a soundstage and not in fact brought to me by the letters “S” and “H” and the number 9 would have been devastating.
