Brad’s Video of the Day – “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi!

Posted on by Bradley Crain

I’ve chosen Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” as my video of the day solely because my wife is in it. The music video was partially filmed in West Virginia, which is where my wife is from. She saw them at the Huntington Civic Center in Huntington, West Virginia. Portions of that concert were included in the video, as well as portions in Rochester, Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Oklahoma City. (Pictured below the video is my wife having a blast!)

So, let’s take a trip back to 1987 and enjoy “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi!

Brad’s Song of the Day – “Rhinestone Cowboy” by Glen Campbell!

Posted on by Bradley Crain

In keeping with my theme of celebrating Arkansas in pop culture today, I’ve chosen superstar Glen Campbell and one of his classic hits for my song of the day. Campbell was born in Billstown, Arkansas, which is about 20 miles from where our kids were raised in Southwest Arkansas. I know several members of his family, and they are so proud of Glen. And why shouldn’t they be?! From cranking out hit records to starring in the movie version of a great work of Arkansas literature, TRUE GRIT, Campbell is a one-of-a-kind talent, and all of Arkansas is proud to call him our own! Enjoy my friends!

Song Of The Day: Coming Into Los Angeles by Arlo Guthrie

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

We’ll be coming into Los Angeles in another 12 hours or so.  And then, it’ll be onto Dallas.  It was a good vacation but I’m definitely ready to jump back into things.  I have to say thank you to my fellow writers here at the Shattered Lens and especially my wonderful sister, the one and only Dazzling Erin Nicole, for keeping the site thriving while I was gone.

Here’s today’s song of the day.  For the record, I will not be bringing in a couple of keys.  I still love Arlo, though!

Music Video of the Day: Bag It Up by Geri Halliwell (2000, Dir. by Dawn Shadforth)

Today’s music video of the day is heaven in a box!

Geri Halliwell’s boyfriend doesn’t appreciate her so she drugs him and then brainwashes him.  Whatever works!  Her boyfriend is played by Aiden Turner, who also played Aiden Devane on All My Children.  Aiden left the show in 2009 and it was canceled two years later.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Back in the day, Lisa and I would annoy the rest of our family by singing this song at the top of our lungs.  The only part that we really knew was the part about bagging it up.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira (2002, Dir. by Herb Ritts)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Back in 2002, I thought there was nothing cooler than Shakira replying to a question about crossing over to English-language music in Spanish.  I still think it’s pretty cool.  Shakira was one of the singers that Lisa and I always used to sing along with whenever we went on a road trip.  We used to drive everyone crazy.

This was the last music video to be directed by the legendary photographer, Herb Ritts.  He died of Pneumonia on December 2nd, 2002.

This song and video were both banned in Argentina because Shakira’s boyfriend (who appears as himself) was the son of a former president of Argentina who was not popular at the time.

Enjoy!
