Sergeant Hensons Lonely hearts club Band
This is an image of a Muppet parody of the Beatles Album Sergeant pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band only with an all muppet group of characters. Many other people have done parodies of rock albums with muppets and many others have done parodies of Sergeant Pepper so I put them together. See if you can spot the various ones from The Muppet Show and movies, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dark Crytstal, Star Wars and The Ed Sullivan Sesame Street

Worst Beatles songs
In my opinion the Beatles a really great rock band. But that doesn't mean I like all of their song were great. They had some clunkers too. I am not saying that these songs are bad. I just personally hate them. So if any of these is one you particularly like that's OK.
The Top 10Worst Beatles songs
10.The Long and Winding Road
I know a lot of people love this song but I find it dull sappy and depressing. Interestingly the Beatles wrote it for Ray Charles and his version is 100% better than Paul's
9.Wild Honey Pie
Paul has done some good songs where he sings and plays everything but this isn't one of them. It's actually bizarre obnoxious and boring at the same time. The best thing about this song is it's so bad it's good
8.It's Only Love
It's sad to hear John write a song so boring and uninspired he basically just rehashes cliches. Any song with a lyric like "My inside Just flies, butterflies". His voice sounds bored too.
7.Tell Me What You See
If ennui had a soundtrack this would be it especially that cheesy electric piano solo by Paul. Plus Paul seems to sound like a sexist jerk in this song if you really listen to the lyrics.
6.You Like Me Too Much
This is arguably the worst song George ever did with the Fab 4. With a cheesy ragtime piano(and I actually like ragtime) and a country melody that makes achy break heart look like Devil went down to Georgia.
5.I Dig A Pony
Usually when John calls a song garbage I think he's being too hard on himself because he wrote such a wonderful song, but in this case I fully side with him .
4. Mr Moonlight
Unfortunately I actually used to like this song. If anyone doubt Ringo's ability as a drummer the fact is he DIDN'T drum on this song that was George.
3.I Don't Want To Spoil The Party
The worst part of it is the Beatles actually CAN do country western that sounds like music.
2.Revolution 9
I don't dislike this song because it is artsy (some artsy music is actually quite good) or because Yoko was involved in the composition (I actually like Yoko). The real reason why I think it's no good is it is boring as hell!
You might be thinking what song could possibly be worse than revolution 9.
There is one that is...
1.Maggie May
Rod Stewart did a really good version of this song a year later but the Beatles version of this song is absolutely horrible. The fact the the Beatles did this song is proof that the Beatles were human.

In the Last post I showed my cast for the Muppet's Midsummer Nights dream, now I have another Muppet Shakespeare cast up my sleeve. This one I actually did earlier it is about the other highly fantastical Shakespeare play of note The Tempest.

A Midsummernights Dream Muppets Cast
I was thinking of a Muppet version of A Midsummer Nights Dream, because a Muppet version of Shakespeare is a good way to get kids into Shakespeare. I also have a version of the tempest which I will talk about in a later blog.
This is the film I'm imaging could have been done (in 1999) instead of the Movie Muppets from space. In my oipnion that was when the muppets Jumped the Shark; I think what Gonzo is should be up to the audience. The Cast is as Follows ;Pupeteers are in Parentheses
THE ATHENIANS: Theseus: Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire) Hypollita: Miss Piggy (Frank Oz) Lysander: Nate Ritchert Hermia: Melissa Joan Hart Demetrius: Michael J. Nelson Helena: Alannah Ubach Egus: Ian MacDiarmid Philostrate Sam Eagle: (Frank Oz )
THE RUDE MECHANICALS: Peter Quince/Prolouge: Colin Mochrie Nick Bottom/Pyramus: Fozzie Bear (Frank Oz) Bottom enchanted: Gonzo the great (David Golez) Francis Flute/Thisbe: Zoot (David Golez) Sung/Lion: Telly Monster (Martin P. Robinson) Tom Snout/Wall: Floyd (Jerry Nelson) Robin Starveling (Moonshine): Janice (?)
THE FARIES: Oberon: Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire) Titania: Miss Piggy (Frank Oz)
Puck: Gobo Fraggle (Jerry Nelson) Peasblossom (2nd Fairy): Mokey Fraggle (Karen Mullen) Cobweb: Boober Fraggle (David Golez) Moth(1st fairy):Red fraggle(Karen Prell) Mustardseed: Wembly Fraggle (Steve Whilmire) Changling Boy: Elmo (Kevin Clash)

The library of tomorow today.
http://blogs.library.unlv.edu/arch-studies/2007/09/interactive_spaces.html
I had never consider the fact that the library might go out of date pretty soon because of being able to find all the information online but these people believe that that can be averted. They have created a library that deals with interactive spaces. This library deals with both physical and virtual space. There are a lot of different places you can find activities.
This library has a Transformation lab with five different areas of the library with different kinds of interactive space. The Literature Lab, the News Lab, the Music Lab, the Exhibition Lab, and the square. The Literature Lab shows new ways of communicating besides books. the News lab shows people the effects of the news media in our world with screens showing news all over the world. the Music Lab is divided into different zones. The inspiration zone is set up like a cafe has music magazines, the production zone has instruments and computer equipment. In the Exhibition Lab people look at what previous people have done and talk about their own ideas. There is also the square which is really neat it has both planned and unexpected meetings where anyone can say anything.
They believe that this library is an ongoing project will never get finished nor should we be able to finish this project. The growth of knowledge is ever expanding. There might however be ways in which this is not the case. There might be something that takes all this technology away from them or it might get set in it's way. However it is very good at present and I would like to see how it progresses in the future. I wish them good luck with this project and I hope things will turn out for the best for them.

Kids interactive discovery space
http://play.powerhousemuseum.com/whatson/KIDSplayspaces.php
This museum is another kind of experience that uses physical interactive spaces. It doesn't use the latest technology, but it does use things that can be fun and Interesting for kids. It also is very informative.
The first part teaches kids about music and makes them want to make music , listen to it and piques their curiosity in it too. I always wanted to learn about music as a kid and still do.
Another part of the museum history of how kids played in the past which teaches kids about history in a way that makes them related to kids of the past(including their parents and grandparents.). It also makes kids discover new ways to play when kids were more active. Play is important for kids not just for having fun, but kids also learn best when they play.
There is another part of the museum that shows how films are made and tells kids what that there is a lot that goes on to make a movie. It also might help kids decide whether they want to be a part of making films themselves or not.
