holy schmoses

That previous clip of Sesame Street had me strolling down nostalgia street so I went hunting for a few more. I almost shit my pants when I saw these. I completely remember all three of these videos from my childhood.






Recognize the composer? It's Philip Glass. I thought I was first introduced to minimalist music through my sister when I was in high school but no, I was much much younger (though she still gets props for giving me my first hearing of Steve Reich). I am continually amazed at what an influence Sesame Street had on my being, who I was as a child and now who I am as an adult. Seriously, puppets and music and the love of simple things and the fostering of deep imagination. It's incredible. It's too bad I don't see the same thing in today's Sesame Street. It makes me sad. But appreciative that I got to experience something so amazing and influential.
