5hVnz Song of the Month...
Keeping in the spirit of Bands that recorded "Good" songs for their entire album, we have another band we'd like to showcase...
INXS won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, including three for "Best Group" in 1987, 1989 and 1992;the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001. INXS has sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide...
Shabooh Shoobah was one of those Albums that you could listen to without rewinding to the first song over and over again of skipping to the 2nd best song on the Album...
The Song Don't Change is a Song meant to be listened to while you're driving 100+, Skiing down China Bowl, Ripping a Curl or pretty much anything that has the word acceleration in it...
Enjoy, but don't just stop there, because they're all good...
INXS - Don't Change - Aspen 1997...

Sadly this was one of Michael Hutchence's last appearance before his death from suicide in November 1997...
YouTube has found a way to keep him singing, now you can too...and that's a fact!

5hVnz Artist of the Month...
We first heard of this Artist in the news stating that their concert in Nacogdoches County, Texas had been canceled because there was a threat of violence...
Not sure why they canceled the show due to violence considering it's not Country if there isn't a good ol' fashioned Bar Fight...
Their songs are GREAT, it's a surprise to us that we've never heard of this band, and even people we talked to hadn't ever heard of this band...
It Must be in the Whiskey is one of their more popular songs, but they have a lot of good songs...
It's been a long time since you could buy a CD with more than one good song on it, but Cody Jinks has mastered that feat...
Check em' out...

The Problem with Sesame Street...
It's not only Sesame Street, it's also the Muppets and shows like there as...
These shows were part of an Era of creation, something new and unseen before, and as such captivated audiences from all ages...
It was funny, original and as with all audiences of any era it inspired interest, but if things don't change the interest fades...
The biggest evolution with the Muppets was when they showed their legs on the Muppet Movie because all that was shown of them before was above torso...
In a land of Make-Believe it was easy to accept these types of shows so what has changed...Internet...
Not too go down a rabbit hole we'll leave it at, opening the land of make-believe to a world of reality...
The adventitious recognized this and capitalized on it and shows like "Southpark" originated with cussing little cartoon children, but even they have grown past their prime...
Superheroes never died, Muppets and Sesame Street Characters never grew older...
Oh the people that were in the shows grew older which is also a reason these shows didn't stay popular...
It's a very delicate balance that needs to be maintained when mixing real people with make-believe characters...
In order to pull this off you need to integrate the "Doppelganger" policy...
The "Real" characters don't get remembered as much as do the Muppet like characters themselves do...
You need to keep the "Real" characters fresh and you change them out with characters that look like them so the transition to the new character won't shock the viewers...
This is also a stepping stone role for new talent because it hurts their career later in life because all people see them as is the Sesame Street person...
You can have older "Real" characters and all ages of "Real" characters, just keep them rotating out to keep them looking fresh which is key when combining real with fake...
Venturing off the path here, a good example is when they brought Sean Connery into Robin Hood...
Sean Connery was an Icon, a young vibrant icon, but age has set in and the roles weren't available for aging actors, but when they brought him into the Sherwood Forest as King Richard changed the game for him and others like him...
Back on the path...The "Problem Is" the Puppets never age, they never grow older, they never die they never reproduce, they just live forever...
This is the problem, you're trying to re-create the wheel when you have a working model already in place...
You're looking for new material and the solution is right there...
Age Bert and Ernie, make them grandparents, parents for that matter and bring a younger version of them into the mix...
Give Bert and Ernie there own house now, like in Grumpier old Men, they finally get on with their lives...
This will help with the transition on whether or not Bert and Ernie were a couple or they were just roommates, either way it keeps the mystery going without answering the question...
All the characters of the Muppets need to be aged, Miss Piggy and Kermit need to get together once and for all...
Believe it or not people are attracted to all sorts of people, not just their own kind, type, style, opposites attract, helloooo...
Parents and Guardians have trouble speaking to their young so they use programs like this to help them with this...
Make the shows more believable, but keep the puppetry about it because that's what kids like, but teach them that life is more than make-believe...
Grumpy grandparents, helicopter parents and mischievous children are the construct of lesson plans that children and others can experience together...
If you can't get material out of that then keep using that same old material that's been used over and over again and see how it works for you, up to now it hasn't...
You're trying so hard to keep the audience you already had without any consideration of the audiences you don't have...
People grow up, they move on, move past and as such lose "interest", so keep the interest by keeping your shows interesting while not letting go of what started it all...
Times have changed and people have grown older, but it doesn't mean they've forgotten or have been forgotten, it just means, it's gotten funnier...and that's a fact!
