Videos I loved as a child
In the absence of actual knitting content, or anything else you might be interested in, I will begin providing you with videos I loved as a child/teenager.
Where I grew up we didn’t have cable TV so we had only a handful of channels (and for a long time only a manual TV until we got a VCR and I figured out how to hook it up and use the remote control for that to change channels — and this is still the set up when I left for university, and was still in place in 1995). We also lived pretty far away from lots of infrastructure, and had some coastal mountains on one side of us and the Pacific ocean on the other, so radio stations weren’t very forthcoming either. There were a couple of places where they did have cable television. Luckily I had friends who lived in such places so I’d get a dose of MTV when I went there (back when MTV actually played music videos 24/7), and all sorts of exciting cable channels that played movies long before they were available to rent.
In 1983 we went to Hawaii for a family vacation. It was my mom, grandma, and four kids and we stayed mostly in condos/houses that my mom found advertised in the newspaper as holiday rentals. Many of these places had cable TV and a huge hit at the time was Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. My God I loved this song and the video. I was transfixed everytime it came on the TV or radio.
So for your viewing pleasure, Billy Joel and Uptown Girl.
