Hard to mess up my favorite song ever.
But honestly, this remix works, because it works. On its own.
Enjoy!

Quincy Jones has had a career and a life that just won’t me duplicated.
EGOT. He opened the door for Oprah to go to the next level. He opened the door for Will Smith to go to the next level. Nearly any creative I know would feel like his 90th biggest accomplishment would easily be their 1st.
So it’s impressive that ‘Quincy’ does such a good job of giving an overview for how much he’s done over the years while blending in enough of a personal element to balance the story out.
I could be hear all day talking about Q’s accomplishments, so I’ll just pick a few highlights:
The film is co-directed by his daughter Rashida (side note: I’m far too young to know of a young Peggy Lipton, but seeing her with no context, my first reaction was still, ‘Oh, that’s Rashida Jones’ mom), and it’s well worth the two hour watch if you’re any kind of pop culture nerd.
High recommend.
Tis the weekend!
Back on my grind, so I pulled from my favorites.
I was never the biggest Ne Yo fan, but have to give credit where it’s due. This is one of the better covers of one of my favorite MJ songs.
Have a good one folks.
Humpday for most of you, the end of the work week for me.
Heading to a homie’s wedding, so this feels like a perfect song to go out on.
Have a good one folks. See you Sunday.
Happy MLK weekend everyone!
Some of the Black Panther conversations I’ve had this week turned into ‘What other pop culture things felt like everyone had to see it right away (before we had social media)?’
Michael Jackson video premieres definitely were on the list, thus today’s choice (particularly with the cast, setting and director of this one).
Next movie review Monday night. If you’re not working the next few days, enjoy yourself!
The Halloween/creep factor of today’s video is a happy coincidence. Got hit with an 80s playlist today and this gem popped up.
Have to chuckle because, in my entire life, I’m pretty sure this still holds the title for ‘We all know why this became a hit record, right?’
Enjoy!
If you know me personally, you know my personality, you know the city I’ve called home in my adult life, you know the shorts I’ve written and directed…then you know this man’s influence.
Happy Birthday Mike.
Michael Jackson is still not a genre of music, but now that Justin Timberlake is a middle aged man (yeah I said it), this kid can definitely own the corner.
Bonus points for putting little MJ in his video.
Enjoy!
Despite having ample time to plan, won’t make it down to Inglewood tonight to see John perform.
I felt a little better about this when I remembered I checked off seeing Mayer perform live years ago. Playing my all time favorite song in fact, at Mike’s funeral. Also the last time I recall having a full, uncontrollable, both nostrils running cry.
(Hm. Maybe I shouldn’t have typed that out loud. Oh well…)
To my friends heading to the Forum, have fun for me.
To everyone else, enjoy!
It’s a dope trailer. And the song of course, clinched it for me.
To borrow another title from that catalog, Don’t Let Me Down Warner Brothers.
Enjoy!
