In 1978, the musical group Earth, Wind and Fire had a tremendous hit with a record called "September"…and it's one of those tunes that was not forgotten after it slipped off the charts. People play it all the time. Other musicians record cover versions of it…though I note that very few of them stray much from the original version. People love "September" the way Earth, Wind and Fire performed it and don't want it changed much or at all.
Lately, every time I go wandering on the Internet into uncharted waters — when I'm not going to a known website and sometime even when I am — I run into videos of Earth, Wind and Fire performing "September," videos of people dancing to the Earth, Wind and Fire recording of "September" or other musicians imitating Earth, Wind and Fire performing "September." It is truly inescapable.
We here at newsfromme.com — "we" being just me — like that this blog features things that you won't find everywhere else on The Internet. I mean, how many websites discuss the histories of the logos and star billings for MAD magazine? But every so often, we — and by "we," I still mean just me — feel the need to blend in with the rest of the World Wide Web. So here's Earth, Wind and Fire performing "September" and you're certainly allowed to get up and dance to it. I would but I'm not allowed to dance without filing an Environmental Impact survey with some governmental agency that Trump has probably just closed down…
And I have to admit that I never understood most of the lyrics of this song so I hunted down the *OFFICIAL* Lyric Video of it — and I still don't understand some of them but who cares? It's a great record…
