You make my dreams come true

Saturday, December 19, 2009



This is making the rounds today, but if you haven't seen it, you must. It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, sweet and creepy and funny and dorky and cool, all at once. I haven't the words.

I went to the LA High School for the Arts, and I can imagine the kids I went to school with pulling off something like this, had Youtube existed back in the day. I would have found the whole thing disgustingly peppy and school spirit-y, and I would have abstained to go smoke cloves with my girlfriend behind the dumpsters. And I would've missed out on something absolutely magic.

(Here's a little something to totally shatter your good mood. Not only is You Make My Dreams Come True an ancient curio to these kids, but so is The Hives' Hate to Say I Told You So, which plays in the closing credits. It was released in 2000, when most of these kids would have been six or so. That is their "music my older brother used to listen to" music, if not their "music my dad used to listen to" music.)

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
