CAN YOU DIG IT?

The quality of the video isn't great, but the vibe transcends that to deliver the perfect antidote to these troubled times from an earlier even more troubled time (1970 to be exact). Hey, it made me smile.

Used to love this song, and still do. Thanks for the link Michael, it opened up a flood gate. The last link is the full movie "The Wanderers" - the best first five minutes of any film ever.

Damn, that's a lot of good stuff. I forgot how beautiful Johnny Nash was.

Thanks- there's so much more even, but a lot of You Tube stuff is the audio only with a still of the album art all through, and I want to see the live performance (even if lip-synched). ALSO, i meant to say THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THE WANDERERS is just about the best film opening I can remember.

Wow- How come I didn’t remember that first scene of The Wanderers??

It's definitely not Beaches or The Joy Luck Club, Jen,just testosterone driven guy stuff!

It's a great opening Robert, but a few favorites of mine in a similar vein are the openings to WEST SIDE STORY and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.

Oh, and BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, that military drum beat turning into "Rock Around the Clock."

And Jen, thanks for the Marvin Gaye reminders.
