Icarus Montgolfier Wright – Ray Bradbury

On the eve of the first flight to the moon, an astronaut ponders his ordinary-sounding name.

Released in 1962, it was set in the near future – August 22nd, 1970 – which ended up being about a year from when man actually landed on the moon.

Disciples Of Funk – Bootsy Collins

Your Saturday Rogue Video is one from the somewhat hidden Funk page here at The Ruffled Crow, so prepare thyself to Get Thee Down and Be Thee Funky.

I became a fan of Bootsy Collins back in his days with the P-Funk collective. Bootsy is the grand master of the mean and nasty funk groove – to this day, as far as I’m concerned. So while this video isn’t fully animated, it does have Bootsy in it and that’s pretty much the equivalent.

From Bootsy’s 1990 EP Jungle Bass.
