 Source2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show

 The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the 1975 film adaptation
 of the British rock musical stageplay.  The film is a parody
 of B-movie, science fiction and horror films of the late
 1940s through early 1970s.  Still in limited release 36
 years after its premiere, it has the longest-running
 theatrical release in film history.  It gained notoriety as
 a midnight movie in 1977 when audiences began participating
 with the film in theatres.

 Click on the first source, or 'HERE' for my copy, to see
 and hear the song Time Warp.  If you did not see the movie
 with the audiences participating, you will probably find
 this clip silly and dumb.

Subj:     The Beatles Help! (S771)

          on 10/22/2011

 Source2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJH8JlmFzhc

 This video is the original 1965 promotional video for
 The Beatles' Help film.

 "Help!" is a song by The Beatles that served as the title
 song for both the 1965 film and its soundtrack album.  It
 was also released as a single, and was number one for three
 weeks in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
 "Help!" was written primarily by John Lennon, but credited
 (as were all Beatles songs written by either person) to
 Lennon/McCartney.  Paul McCartney reports that he had a
 hand in writing the song as well, being called in "to
 complete it" in a two-hour joint writing session on the
 4 of April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge.  He later
 said that the title was "out of desperation".  In 2004,
 "Help!" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's
 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

 Stevland Hardaway Morris, born May 13, 1950, known by his
 stage name Stevie Wonder, is an American singer-songwriter,
 multi-instrumentalist, record producer and activist.  Blind
 since shortly after birth, he has recorded more than thirty
 U.S. top ten hits and received twenty-two Grammy Awards,
 the most ever awarded to a male solo artist.

 When Stevie Wonder was four, his mother left his father and
 moved herself and her children to Detroit.  She changed her
 name back to Lula Hardaway and later changed her son's
 surname to Morris, partly because of relatives.  Morris has
 remained Stevie Wonder's legal name ever since.  He began
 playing instruments at an early age, including piano,
 harmonica, drums and bass. During childhood he was active
 in his church choir.

 copy, to see this terrible, TV copy, of a very young
 Steve Wonder in an amazing, six minute drum solo.

Subj:     Korea's Got Talent Ep.1 - Sung-bong Choi (S751 in Asian-Supp)
          From: Wimp.com

 Source3: http://www.wimp.com/greatchallenges/

 Sung-bong Choi, a 22-year-old manual worker, knocked the
 judges' socks off with his amazing voice on "Korea's Got
 Talent."  But before that, his story made them (and us)
 cry - a lot.

 "I just want to be like a normal person," Choi said.  He
 doesn't think he sings very well, but when he does, he
 feels like a different person.  You see, Choi was left
 in an orphanage when he was 3 years old and ran away
 when he was 5 after being beaten.  He sold gum and energy
 drinks on the streets of Korea to survive.  "I slept on
 the stairs or public toilet for 10 years like a dayfly."

 Now Choi hopes to be able to go to school and continue singing.

 After telling his sad yet remarkable story, he belted out
 some powerful vocals, and wowed everyone.

 "I just want to give you a hug," says one of the judges
 with tears in her eyes.

 He obviously made it through to the next round, and is
 being regarded as the next Susan Boyle.

 Source2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLYgVbVRoqk

 The musicians of the Moz'ART GROUP have been playing together
 since 1995.  At the beginning, they presented short musical
 jokes on Canal Plus Television.  They gave their first debut
 in 1997 at the PAKA - competition of young Polish cabarets in
 Krakow.  In the same year, they presented their first cabaret
 program entitled "Mozart's Still Alive" and since then, they
 have given concerts in Poland, Japan, China, the United States,
 Belgium, France and Switzerland.

 The Moz'ART Group is the most popular string quartet in
 Poland.  They play classical music in an unusual and funny
 way.  They take a classical composition as canvas, analyze
 its structure and theme, surround it with musical associations,
 brilliant, unbelievable ideas.  While listening to the final
 product the listener is constantly surprised, amazed, laughing
 and moved to tears.

 and see this phenomenal group.
