Old School Friday Music Meme 8th Installment

Today is my middle son, Sanjay’s fifth birthday and the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We urge you to..

Pledge to turn off the commercials of Olympic Sponsors during the Games.
Olympic corporate sponsors have been silent about China’s financing of the Darfur genocide, even as the sponsors are spending billions to enhance China’s image as Olympic host. If sponsors continue to ignore China’s complicity in the Darfur genocide, we will ignore their million-dollar ad campaigns.

This week’s theme is Rock.

Enjoy.

The Rules 1. Anyone can participate; any music genre;
2. Old School is defined as music created before 1999;
3. No offensive words allowed, please use edited radio version;
4. Post no more than 2 videos of your favorite old school song to take us back down memory lane;
5. Add your name to the meme list so that others can check you out;
6. Have fun and don’t forget to leave comments for other participants!

Check out other O.S.F. players

    Happy OSF and lol at the Monkees! I always considered them more pop than rock though. Happy B-Day Sanjay.

    Hey Danielle.

    I got your message where that video I had was no longer available, so I fixed it. Got a great video on there now with Hiram Bullock and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Check it out when you get a moment, and thanks for letting me know!

    I was going to try a new ad network, and they were going to start me off with Olympic ads and banners, but I turned them down. Life is too priceless…

    Happy OSF!

    I know this song by heart, and The Monkees was my favorite show, I loved those Beatles Knock-off…

    Happy birthday to Sanjay !

    Danielle, I just want to let you know that my 7 songs music meme is up on my blog.I think that I’ll join you for a future old school meme. Because, even if I do occasionally enjoy a recent song or two, I remain an old music girl ;)

    Take care .

    I missed them the first time around but I used to love watching the Monkees on Nick at Nite (yeah, I said it). So silly. Don’t remember this, but wow the blond guy is very Ken-ish.

    Happy belated OSF! Great to see the silliness of the Monkees. Did you know one of them is a multi-millionaire for inventing “Post-Its”?

    Thank you for visiting my effort to comply with the Rock song theme. I invite your blog readers to check out The BusBoys if they have time or inclinaton.

    peace, Villager
