Yes, boys and girls, it’s our old favorite Brian Atene back with another masterwork. This simple, thirty-second video, entitled “Do You Wish It?” may be, nay, IS, the most powerful motivational talk in all of recorded YouTube.
Pour yourself a tumbler of something bracing, keep the Kleenex handy, and set phasers to awesome!
Motown records brought black music by black musicians into the mainstream, and changed American culture forever. If you’d like a serious analysis of that, please go here. You know I ain’t got time for that shit.
Instead, I’d like to present two videos choreographed by very, very white people, and mashed up with some very, very black (although not Motown, it must be said, and indeed it WOULD have been said, had I not just said it myself, thus inocculating this blog against those so-called sayers and their nastily truthful accusations, now where was I?) music.
Bob Fosse‘s Mexican Breakfast featuring Gwen Verdon: original here. Unaccredited, vulgar ripoff by Beyonce here. More amusing version of same here. Walk It Out, Fosse version below:

No, seriously. Think about it. She’s got John‘s money and no particular need to be the ruling Rock Widow of Our Times, which goes to Courtney Love on sheer batshit-insane points.

William Lamson is clearly both deeply artistic and strange to the pink, gooey core. Check out his site: my particular favorite video is “Monument Valley Flight Attempt” but one has to come to it with preparation. One has to be ready. One has to wait it out, all two minutes, forty-one seconds of it. There IS no punchline. It, itself, IS the punchline. Or is the viewer?
Or the reader of this blog?
Well, this is interesting. Okay, it’s not: it’s just weird and hilarious, both inadvertently AND advertently. And filthy.
