Video Classics: “Jersey Girl” – Bruce Springsteen

When one thinks of covers, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bruce Springsteen[/lastfm] usually isn’t the first artist that comes to mind. After all, The Boss has been far more likely to have his songs covered by others than offering up […]

Video Classics: ‘Do You Feel Like We Do’ – Peter Frampton

Lest we think that all [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Helen Reddy[/lastfm] did was make people hear her woman’s roar, you can watch her give none other than [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Peter Frampton[/lastfm] his intro on Burt Sugarman’s Midnight Special in this clip […]

Video Classics: ‘Rock the Casbah’ – The Clash

While it is unclear whether or not [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Clash[/lastfm]‘s 1982 hit, “Rock the Casbah” was written specifically about the Ayatollah Khomeini’s ban of rock music in Iran, it makes a good story, and is so […]

Video Classics: ‘Misty Mountain Hop’ – Led Zeppelin

Back in 1971, when [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Led Zeppelin[/lastfm] first released “Misty Mountain Hop”, the cool kids were smoking marijuana and the nerds were reading The Hobbit. Today, the cool kids are (supposedly) saying ‘no’ to drugs and […]

Video Classics: “Carry On” – Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
