This is a beautiful video, with audio content from an interview with John Lennon in 1969. What’s even better is that this video just won an Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, after the video was posted to YouTube in 2007. Online video is really beginning to be recognized as a valid medium, not just easy access fluff. This video was professionally produced, but not by an established source like its emmy competitors (NY Times, All My Children Podcast, etc.). I imagine this might give hope to video artists out there looking for recognition through the internet. Perhaps we’re making progress towards a more egalitarian media, where consumers are also producers and can attain acknowlegement along with the mass media.

Where the media meets sarcastic criticism (and sometimes praise), where even the dregs of pop culture merit thought, and where spin gets unspun.
