If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. »» Martin Luther King, Jr.

Okay, so “long lost” is a bit of a stretch. The truth is I get so upset thinking about the nightmarish opening day at California’s Great America in March that I keep forgetting to upload these videos to Philaahzophy. They have, however, been on YouTube since Mid-March and received a couple of hundred views. So, somebody thinks they’re entertaining.

These were both taken during the karaoke event where X and her kids (Z and her two half-brothers) opened the show with Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer, while Z and her mom closed it with Aretha Franklin’s classic Respect.

So, without further ado-

For those who prefer still images you can check out the photo gallery of Opening Day

All of which reminds me that I still haven’t posted the videos from Musee mechanique in San Francisco either. Have I?
