GOOGLE GOES VIDEO

Here are some fun rock 'n' roll clips from Google. The CBC Retro Bite 60 second interview with the Rolling Stones from 1965 is interesting because Brian Jones is without question the leader and dominant speaker in the group. The longer clip of the Rolling Stones on the Red Skelton show is cringe-inducing as the square Skelton trips into a crowd of screaming teeny girls and is rudely jossled in the lobby of the Palladium in London. Everyone seems to thing it was the Rolling Stones first US television appearance -- 1964. The Red Skelton Show: Season 14, Episode 02, part of which may be on a new compilation of Skelton shows.

The Jane Birkin "I lurve Paris" clip from CNN is important because it has shots of her with her bulldog Dora (not French).
