5 Minutes
I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, the platform I’ve used over the past 19 years to blog (and host my Music Fridays) has been suffering from management neglect for well over 6 months. Functions that were once state-of-the-art became increasingly non-responsive…and, when asked, tech support would wave me off, saying, “yeah, we know.”
Typepad announced last month they would be shuttering the service at the end of this month (it is kinda comical that their homepage still offers a free 14-day trial). And I figured I’d ride it out til the end and transition then…but, when I went to post our Music Friday offering on Thursday evening, the site was down. And, it just came back…but for how long, who knows?
So, as we ponder the future of Music Fridays (Facebook is looking like a possible answer…but not ideal), today, we offer a collection of songs about “Five Minutes.”
Probably the best known (and most touching) is from Scotty McCreery.
But, there is also Lorrie Morgan.
And Her.
On the Rock side, there is The Stranglers.
And Pantera.
And Boys Like Girls.
Then, there is Whodini with Five Minutes of Funk.
And, while I have no idea what they’re singing, I like this from Bertahan…and SKSJ…and Teman Biasa…and this from Selalu Menunggumu.
Overkill? Well, this might be the last time we can share multiple videos on a theme if we use Facebook (unless you know a workaround).
We’ll figure it out. Or not. Stay tuned.
And best for a great weekend!
