SPACE ODDITY BY DAVID BOWIE

     Words don't really do David Bowie justice.  He's just so far ahead of his time that until we truly catch up to him, it's best just to let his stuff speak for itself.  Although technically released in 1969, David Bowie's haunting track "Space Oddity" was a taste of what was in store for the world as the new decade was approaching .  Heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, "2001: A Space Odyssey", it's still one of Bowie's best known and loved songs, and remains as fresh and bizarre today as it must have sounded back then.


CLASSIC 70S COCA-COLA CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL

     Instead of making silly new Christmas commercials that nobody will remember in 50 years, I think they should just re-air this one every year.  It's simple, it's iconic, and it's memorable.
