Phish — 8 Years Ago Today…
Remember how weird it was when it started to sink in that Phish wasn’t playing a New Years show? Heck, they weren’t even playing a spring tour and they were calling it a “hiatus”? Come on, when are they really coming back. Those guys can’t stay off of the stage! They love playing together too much.

Michael Jackson — Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough (1979)
One of my favorite songs growing up – Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough” – hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 29 years ago this month. The video, which featured Michael Jackson dancing around on floating disco lights (ahhh the oh-so impressive technology of the ’70s), was released in October as well. (Check out the video here.)
The song was by far the most successful single from “Off the Wall” and went on to sell over a million copies, becoming his first Platinum-selling single since “Ben.”
I’ll admit, I still love this song and it makes me get up and dance like the white girl I really am. (However, I’m certainly not as white as modern-day Michael Jackson…yikes!)
