Good Morni----WHAT??!? MARY DIED?!?!?

By Ingrid

I don’t like video games, mainly because I can’t figure them out. I have the thumb/eye coordination of a newborn baby, the attention span of a kindergartener, the schedule of an adult with a fulltime job, and the arthritic back of a Wal-mart greeter -- none of which lend themselves to the art of video gaming.

My love for the Beatles, however, outshines my dislike of video games, so I will love this preview for the Beatles version of Rock Band as I would love my own child.



WHOA. Hold the post. I just found out Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary died! DIED! She’s dead, which means she's really gone -- FOREVER, unlike my childhood cat Star-in-the-sky, who just ran away and will come back anytime now.

There goes my last childhood hero. The rest of this post will be PP&M themed.

This is the saddest and best of their songs, in my opinion.


Wait, this one's also sad and good:


When I watch this video it is like a Christian watching a video of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Mary, Joni Mitchell, and Mama Cass. Amazing voices.



That's right, I just subjected the readers of OYIT -- a bunch of hip twenty-somethings -- to an entire post about one of the squarest folk bands of the 1960s.

I'm going to go cry into my teddy bear now.
