stevie on "sesame street"

i hate it when people get all "things were so much better back then...", but i'm gonna drop some of that on you right now. this performance just straight up kills anything considered "childrens' tv" in the last 20 years.

fuck a purple dinosaur.

there are so many things to love about this clip -

1. that stevie doesn't water it down lyrically for the kids
2. that they jam out at the end...this is no shortened, edited, 2 minute, short-attention-span clip.
3. the kid on the fire escape just bringing the FUNK.
4. that, oddly enough, this song is a decent message for kids - learn about what you believe in. if you don't, you can be taken for a ride.

i know he's not the stevie of the 1970's, but i'm pretty bummed that i missed him when he was in town last week. i even had a ticket at my disposal to go....
