“What’s Up” With That?

Ever since you can download Music Choice videos on Tivo, I’ve been making for my own personal MTV. It’s good filler to watch in between this and that and the lineup of available videos changes a lot.

Alisa humors me even when I download 4 Non Blondes like last night. Really, I can’t say I had ever seen the full video for “What’s Up” though I do know the lead singer, Linda Perry, wore a ridiculous hat in it. So we’re talking about how big Linda’s mouth is in that video and when the thing is over, it says “1990″ which is ridiculous. 17 years ago? Really? Alisa and I envision Linda Perry all tamed and suburban housewifed. Hopping in the minivan to bring the kids to sports, stopping for a grande mucho con chocolato or whatever drink of the day at a local Starbucks, hair all straightened and styled.

I look the woman up and it turns out she has a pretty successful career writing and producing for modern pop stars like Pink and Christina Aquilera. She wrote Aguilera’s “Beautiful” among other songs for Pink, Courtney Love, and others.

So Linda Perry is doing just fine for herself, thank you very much, and she doesn’t care how you feel about the big hat with goggles thing.
