I love this. Rick Astley, king of the "Rick Roll," an unfairly derided 80s star gets mashed up with 90s rock gods Nirvana. Kurt Cobain joined Jim Morrison as the deified rocker who "died too soon" who probably would have become a retro novelty act had he not died young. I always thought that Nirvana and the whole grunge "scene" was highly over-rated. But then, I thought the same thing about Bono and U2. So, what do I know? In any event, this is brilliant. . .

Cartoon Network Rick Rolls Macy's Thanksgiving Parade
This made me giggle more than it should have. Nice to see Rick Astley again, though. He doesn't look as much like Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen anymore! Pass the Rick Rolls!

Great "Lost" Muppets Video!
Having just posted a classic "PBS Children's TV Shows from the 70s" post, when I happened upon this clip on AmericaBlog, I couldn't resist posting it. Enjoy. And forgive me. . .
Yes, yes, you've been "Rick Rolled."
