So what I am I thankful for in 2008? Barack Obama as President-elect. Yes. The continued fight against Prop 8 in California. Definitely yes. Jennifer finally finishing her Ph.D. Oh, hell yes.
But almost nothing trumps the return of Yacht Rock. Well, maybe that last one…
So about two years ago, I discovered this web-only series called Yacht Rock - a mock-umentary of a very specific period in the history of rock. I could explain it in more detail, but what fun is that? Rather, I highly suggest watching all ten original episodes of the series. It won’t take you that long, and, assuming you are in the right frame of mind, you really won’t regret it.
In June of 2006, the series was “canceled” after ten episodes, but, much to my delight, I discovered that the creators of Yacht Rock released an 11th episode in January of this year. Why it took me 11 months to discover it, I cannot say. But it’s really, really funny. Like Kevin-Bacon-meets-Jimmy-Buffett funny.
And not to put too fine a point on it, you really should watch most, if not all, of the previous ten episodes to really appreciate the brilliance of Yacht Rock and fully appreciate the genius of the 11th episode - especially with regard to all of the “smooth” references. You are warned.
So here it is - the 11th episode of Yacht Rock!
(Oh, and just a quick warning - profanity abounds.)
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
