Wednesday's Friday Morning Music Video
"Day-In Day-Out" by David Bowie, from 1987's Never Let Me Down.
Album both liked and disliked by critics upon its release. Personally, and I know music is subjective, this album is an unrecognized and under-rated Bowie gem.

Minnesota State High School League: Boys now allowed to dance on Minnesota high school teams.
Reuters via CompuServe News (CompuServe...? Who dis?): Boys now allowed to dance on Minnesota high school teams.
An organization that oversees high school sports in Minnesota has rescinded its rule preventing boys from joining their high schools' competitive dance teams.
The change announced on Friday night by the Minnesota State High School League followed a March 6 decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota blocking the rule's enforcement.
[.]
In its decision, the appeals court had said the girls-only rule probably violated boys' constitutional equal protection rights.
The court also found no proof that the rule addressed girls' historic underrepresentation [sic] in high school sports in Minnesota, where boys and girls now participate almost equally.

Jimmy Fallon Cannot Sing, Dance or Really Do Anything Requiring Talent
I'll "date" my age group by saying the last time "Saturday Night Live" was actually funny was when Phil Hartman was a cast member. His preternatural instinct for comedy, from A to Z, defied definition. Hartman was a genius.
If I happen to see SNL, it's usually by accident. I've seen Alec Baldwin's impression of President Donald Trump, and it's funny -- but it's worn out its welcome. "Leave the audience wanting more...", apparently doesn't enter into the ego of Baldwin.
But last night, I watched the opening with host Jimmy Fallon, who used to be a regular cast member of SNL.
Jimmy Fallon cannot sing.
Jimmy Fallon cannot dance.
Jimmy Fallon is not a "performing" artist.
Jimmy Fallon, no matter how hard he tries, will never be Black.
Jimmy Fallon is a sad, desperate man, afraid of anyone who may overshadow him. I'd say, "overshadow his talent," but he doesn't have any talent.
The opening sequence had Fallon break into song with David Bowie's "Let's Dance." WARNNG: IT IS NOT PRETTY.
Fallon has no business, none - attempting, or even considering singing any song, especially, "Let's Dance."
There are two, and only two people who should be authorized to sing "Let's Dance." David Bowie, obviously - and Freddie Mercury, had he so desired to sing it at some point in his career. I'm not aware he ever did.
Behind Fallon was a group of "dancers" - and I use the term loosely. If these "dancers" received any choreographical instruction or rehearsals, it was absent and unnoticed.
The few times I've stumbled across the "Tonight Show", or seen a promo for it, Fallon is incapable of allowing a guest to perform solo. He just has to do a duet with a singer. He just has to grab a guitar and join in with a guest band. He just has to join another comedian in a some sort of skit.
The Gold Measure of The Tonight Show began, and ended, with Johnny Carson.
Jay Leno gave it life for ten or so more years.
But Fallon? A pathetic, confidence-lacking, inferiority complex-ridden performer who simply cannot allow a guest to shine in their own moment.
The brilliance of Carson and Leno is they both knew when to step back and the the guest riff. Fallon lacks this, and he'll never possess it. He's too insecure.
I miss you, Conan O'Brien. You were the heir apparent for The Tonight Show, and, had NBC supported you, today you'd be ruling the night time talk ratings.
