The birth of "music television":
Now look where it is today...GARBAGE.
Even the Dead Kennedy's are right about it!

Friday Jukebox 7.29.11
This week's Friday's Jukebox focuses on some more 80s goodness, this time-Evelyn "Champagne" King. In 1977, her first hit was "Shame." Five years later, "Love Come Down" was to me her second greatest hit.
Hideki Irabu Died.
Apparent suicide, aged 42.
Irabu came to the states in the late '90s with the Yankees after a successful career back home in Japan, one of the world's biggest baseball markets. After a few seasons he was traded to the Expos (Nationals) and then to the Rangers.
34-35 overall record, 5.15 earned run average until 2002, his last year at the Rangers. He had some off-field trouble that hampered his career.

Take a Risk, Take a Chance, Take a Dare...
A burglar Double Dare'd Alex Trebek, but unfortunately he suffered a ruptured achilles tendon that required walking in crutches. Burglar arrested, however I'm glad that burglar wasn't Marjorie Goodson. A big sign of relief for all of his fans, including me.
You Beauty!
The Australian Rules football mark. A BIG integral part of the game. No matter what level-AFL, SANFL, WAFL, etc. it's an important part.
From Alex Jesaulenko's Mark of the Year in 1970 to Gary Moorcroft's in 2001 and Ashley Sampi's in 2004, these are the moments that makes it spectacular.
Two of the best mark of the year contenders in the AFL:
Nic Naitanui against Carlton Round 14 (my pick of mark of the year):
And here's Andrew "1AW" Walker's against Essendon on Saturday in Round 18:
Both are spectacular. But here's the difference. Naitanui's mark got 110,000 hits while Walker's got 2+ million hits. Thanks Yahoo for getting more people in the states who don't know about it to expose them to the sport! But I wish we can see more of Nic Nat's mark! Six more rounds to go and who knows who top both Walker and Naitanui for a car? Stay tuned.

Check out the two French runners tangling after a race...one of them pulls a Zidane!
Not common to see a thing like this at an athletics event.
