Free As A Bird

I know I'm personally addicted to YouTube the way some people have obsessions with Facebook or Twitter. The vast variety of videos to be found on that site - from music videos, to movie trailers, to fan-made creations, to news updates - is absolutely astounding and always a source of entertainment.

This blog, for the most part, will be a (hopefully) daily update of all the hilarious, weird, interesting or exciting videos I find on YouTube, or other such video uploading sites, along with some sparse commentary provided by me. I would like to keep this as random as possible - you'll never see the same type of video two days in a row.

Also, if you come across a video during your Web surfing that you find interesting and would like to share with the other readers of this blog, e-mail me at cnfergu@pointpark.edu with your suggestions! There's so many videos floating around the Internet these days; it would be impossible for me to find all the great ones. I need your help!

So, without further ado, here's the first video of what is sure to be many more of its kind. It's a music video for the song "Free As A Bird" by The Beatles, released in 1995 on the Anthology recordings. The song was previously unreleased and, actually, had never been completely recorded. While the Anthology was being assembled, Paul, Ringo and George recorded the music and backing vocals for the song and used previously recorded vocals of John's from when the Beatles were still together. The end result is pretty astounding, I think, and also happens to be my favorite song and video...for today, at least. Look close for other Beatles' song/music video references.
