Well what can I say? I want a million dollars and God knows I am not going to make that on my own.

So I’m asking you, whomever you may be, to put up the cash.

What will I do for it?? Anything! That’s right anything but these 3 Rules:

1. I will not do anything to cause permanent disfigurement to myself or others.

2. I will abide by the laws of the country the acts are held.

3. I will not cause harm, be it Physical or Mental to any other living creature or human.

Why Do I want to do this!? Well, it’s simple! For a Million dollars of course! I could buy a house, pay off my debt, buy a round at the bar, invest it, help the people who have helped me… whatever! Doesn’t matter, I just want a million.

Do I work? Yes. But come on people, how many of you are up to your knees in debt!!! I’m tired of it!

I’m a regular guy like you, your neighbor but you can call me Eric, or THE WAF

My late father was born in 1923 and had me late in life; I was born in 1975.  Because of this I was blessed to be exposed to a lot of things a lot of my friends tended to shy away from.  A few of those things happens to be classic movies and big band music, stuff that I still appreciate today; but that doesn’t mean that I still didn’t want to break away and listen to a bunch of pop, rock, and rap music in my teens.  Every now and then we would find something in common, like a Sting, Whitney Houston, or U2 song.

This weekend I saw a special on CBS titled Movies Rock.  I think if I watched this show with my father he would of hated most of it, but I’m pretty darn sure there was one performance we both would have bonded over. 

Over the years I’ve grown fond of Usher Raymond who happened to be on this special.  He also has an appreciation for classic movies, and he paid tribute to Gene Kelly’s ‘Singing in the Rain’ – and he did is oh so very well.  You can watch the clip below, and below that clip is the original.  Pay special attention to the similarity to costume, set,  and choreography.  It was also nice to see him put his own little twist on this performance.  This was one of the greatest tributes I think I’ve ever seen.  Good stuff, yo.

Every year the American Society of Composers and Publishers publishes a list of the 25 Most Popular Holiday Songs. The old favorites–“The Christmas Song,” “White Christmas,” etc.–are always on the list, but songs enter or leave the list based on the popularity of recent covers of the song.

Among the 25 songs picked this year, more than half–13 to 14–were composed, co-written or performed by verifiably Jewish artists. Here’s a rundown on the songs with Jewish connections.
