Music selections for “All Things TV” could go in so many directions that I’m dying to find out what Bear, Willow and Johnny have posted. I’m NOT looking until I get this post into my blogcasa. Television is a medium with a great deal of untapped POSITIVE potential. There’s been some over the years, depending on your view of reality–scratches head about those shows I don’t know why money and time is wasted upon when there’s some much great stuff PBS could be overflowing with–but for the most part, it’s hardly scratched the surface of what it could do. I think that’s why the internet is so vital a resource–as long as it’s UNcontrolled and Uncensored. Hmm. Yeah. We’ve got some problems on that score, Houston. Yes, this creates problem because you get the good with the bad–ooo sounds just like the choices in certain garden of Earthly delights…hmm. Okay,trying to keep an open mind is often a troublesome venture indeed. From personal experience I do know that the strange box can inform, educate and inspire the imagination by bringing new things into a curious mind without the means to travel at will. What you get depends on what channel you select–just like where you go in cyberspace depends on where your fingertips take you via the symbols on your keyboard.
I’m hoping that between the four of us participating in this theme spree that all our views are expanded.
As I recently shared with Johnny–just go with the flow–I’m sharing what flowed my way. Please feel free to share your take on Musical Selections for “All Things TV”. Careful –ALL–covers a lot of territory. LOL.

To start off here’s some warm fuzzies for real via television–on-screen love story goes live. I could have selected a totally musical version, but I thought this works better for people who otherwise would have no clue what’s going here or why I’ve posted it.
“At This Moment” –I think the vocalist is Billy Vera.
Alex and Ellen — Michael and Tracy
Yeah, it was odd, and very nice, watching Michael J. Fox fall hard for Tracy Polland on a television show called “Family Ties.” Considering his return to television as a TV personally with Parkinson’s this is a tip of the hat to him –and a media that usually wants everyone on-screen Picture Perfect. Maybe it’s finally growing up? Hmm. Yeah, that might be stretching it way too much for American television.

Devon Grey’s trilogy, The Corporate Media Survival Guide introduces viewers to television’s hidden technology and the unspoken corporate agenda that surrounds it.

35 Years of Television Music from the Land Down Under– Yes, there is music on television in Australia. Picked this one because it features someone who was part of the television music scene now talking about that the very same time period–and looking forward.
Molly Meldrum presents the history of Australian music television from 1956-1991.

“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” by Gil Scott-Heron—Or will it? Oh those damn smart phones and all their streamings. Heads Up!
Don’t want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America.Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow.
For that’s enough to argue.
Well maybe I’m the faggot America.
I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along to the age of paranoia.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow.
For that’s enough to argue.
Don’t want to be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information Age of hysteria.
It’s calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow.
For that’s enough to argue.

Hmm, I doubt you missed out, Bear. But for at times some very interesting things zoomed across television screens. Now there’s the world wide web for all the zoom you can handle. So much going on behind the scenes. Knowing the ‘control’ of tv prompts a certain perspective on the efforts to control the internet. If big bro can–he will–unless we say no no, hands off our freedom of speech. The Smothers Brothers bring up that point in reference to the show. Oh the POWER of comedy–and music.

I was home alone the morning of 9/11 when I decided to turn on the news channel and see what was going on out in the world. As you suggested, something interesting zoomed across the screen.

Interesting,I too was home alone and something online prompted me to turn on the tv just as a plane hit a building. I might be one of the most ‘detached’ viewers of this event anywhere. I stood there staring at the tv thinking ‘Well, doesn’t that fuck all. Now they’ve got their reason for ww 3″. After that I was totally objective about everything that was on the news regarding the entire situation” Perhaps it had something to do with our encounter regarding your relative and friend. I know people who were worried their homes were about to be bombed. I was like “why?” What’s your home got to do with starting a war? Hmm?”
And then I remember at the time of the ‘gulf war’ my daughter asking if all the bombing meant she couldn’t go outside to play. My response was, “You can go outside and play but a lot of other children on the other side of the world can’t. That’s where the bombs are falling.” She was not pleased.
……so much for random thoughts…..

Good ones. You covered a very long stretch of time. And no, the revolution will not be televised. It hasn’t been to date…

What ‘channels’ have you not been watching, Johnny? -Just teasing. -she gigggles—Oh that damn livestream from One Police Plaza in NYC about two years back—ooo my what television station would ever have had the NERVE to air that gathering? Hmm?

Yeah, but there is much more to it than that. Much of it happening very quietly. I also haven’t watched tv at any length in 8 years…
