San Francisco - A federal judge in New York has ordered Google to turn over to Viacom a database linking users of YouTube, the Web's largest video site by far, with every clip they have watched there.

Independence day

This is Bo Diddley from the concert movie "Let The Good Times Roll", which appeared around 1972.  He was one of a large number of 1950's groups and performers who performed for the then-younger generation.  The film included pictures and film clips of American life during the fifties, and was filmed in what I call the "Woodstock style":  often two or more screens, some mirror reflections, some of alternate locations, themes, and times.

Bo shared the stage with the Shirelles, Chuck Berry,  the Five Satins, Little Richard, the Coasters,  Chubby Checker, and many others.   At the end of the movie he and Chuck Berry made history by performing together for the very first time.

This is Bo as I'll always remember him.  Here you see the man who led the way for Jimi Hendrix and other musicians for decades to come.

This video was made by a 15-year-old genius who calls himself "Godzilla2themaxx" on YouTube.com.  He incorporated scenes from the best of the Godzilla movies, from 1954 to now, and took Rob Zombie's "Dragula [Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare Mix]" from the album "American-Made Music To Strip By."

Later he created another video using the same music, but using scenes only from the movie "Godzilla:  Final Wars".

I personally consider this the better video.  I was born about the time the first Godzilla movie appeared, so the two of us share some history.  And the combination of Rob Zombie's music and the scenes in this video never fail to get my blood pumping.

I love it.
