Music Video Of The Day: Smile by Vitamin C (1999, Dir. by Christopher Erskin)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Remember Vitamin C?

Remember Sam Goody?

This music video is a really a product of a world that doesn’t exist any more.  Vitamin C is now an executive at Netflix and there’s only Sam Goody store left.  It’s in a mall up in Oregon.  I’m depressed now.  This music video did not make me smile.

Enjoy!

Moments #31: Carrying The Flag

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I took these pictures at a Christmas parade many years ago.  The image of those people, walking in the cold rain and carrying that flag, has always stayed with me.  It was a long parade but the flag didn’t touch that wet ground once.

A Scene That I Love: The Final Scene of Band of Brothers

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I defy you not to tear up at the final scene of HBO’s 10-hour tribute to the soldiers who fought in World War II, Band of Brothers.  In this scene, we learn what happened to the surviving members of Easy Company after the war and we are reminded that World War II was fought by men from all walks of life who were all united by one greater purpose.

All of the men depicted in this miniseries are gone now.  The last surviving member of Easy Company died in 2022.  But, thanks to Band of Brothers, their heroism will never be forgotten.
