I know, I know. This shit ended two weeks ago and I'm still posting about it, like, everyday. Sorry. I'm having a hard time coping with loss. And, y'know, I wouldn't be saying anything if I didn't think it completely worthy.
Someone by the name of DJ Danny Shaffer sent me a video retrospective of B³ that blows everything I have said about the show and could possibly say upon reflection, out of the water. Watching this brought a tear to my shiny little eye. It's best that you see it before I say too much . . .
Video: "Love That Man (Private Eyez Dookie Bubble Video Mix)"
What I think is brilliant about this (besides the manipulation of the moving and still images to Peter Rauhofer's remix of Whit's best song in maybe five years) is how it totally gets the show's yin and yang of sweetness and absurdity. Dead-on, beautiful stuff. I love seeing the creativity this show inspires. Whit and Bob will live forever!
Old-school love, indeed.
That is kick ass! DJ Danny Schaffer is from Mpls as am I. Hope we see this at the local video bar soon!
Peace, Love and Dookie Bubbles,
Chris

That was brilliant. My only quibble is that after repeating the same images and video, I was completely caught unawares by the sudden shot of Bobby's gnarled foot. That shit needs a disclaimer.

Impossibly Brilliant! That clip made me 'So Emotional'. Hooooo!

Whitney and Bobby are America's new favorite trainwreck. I missed most of the series so coming across this blog after the end of its run is my way of playing catchup until i get to watch one of the inevitable marathons.

I'll never get over her antics! eeeeeever
Whitney and bobby invented a new holiday, everybody's day.

Rich, the new design looks awesome. Great job....
Posted by: erica | September 11, 2005 at 10:25 AM
Thanks, y'all. I can barely match my shirt with my jeans, so I'm glad this isn't hurting anyone's eyes or anything.
I guess it just shows how dire the old design was. I felt bad about being such an eyesore.

awww kitty discoball....huh? Looks good, Rich.
Posted by: Ian | September 12, 2005 at 12:16 AM
I was in a hurry before, and didn't get to see that video. I just watched it. I feel that it pretty much summed up everything on the show, and in particular, I really enjoyed the beginning, "I'm Not doing this todaaaaay". Nice. Thanks for sharing that Rich.

Unmitigated Brilliance!
Posted by: Justin | September 14, 2005 at 04:06 PM
I'll say it, it brought a tear to my shiny little eye, too... starting with the wedding pic to "old skool love," and building up into the "never let him go-oo-oh-oo-ohhh..." bit. Class.

Thanks for the nice comments y'all! It was just fate, stumbling across "Love That Man" (& loving that remix), wondering why there was never a video for the song, and being currently obsessed with BBB. If it was Whit's show it would seem like a natural-born commercial for it.

Hey DJ Danny S
is there a way to get that video mix on a CD & mail it off to someone?
I have someone that I'd like to dedicate this song to
How can I make this happen???
Can I e-mail you? e-mail me...SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!!!!!

I am just short of making RICH T-shirts. Seriously, you're my favorite blogger ever.
Posted by: doug | September 29, 2005 at 01:42 AM
Only thing is, in my opinion, you really should have included at least one line of "Dookie bubble" from the show... it is called the dookie bubble mix after all. That was the funniest part of the whole series, too. Gotta put something from that scene in there right?

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, this is one of the most old and problematic couple in all Hollywood, since the 80's with the Whitney's addiction to weed, the violent Bobby's behavior, yeah this is a time resistant couple.

Thank you so much for posting this, and for taking the time to visit Occupy L.A. I have been supporting the Occupy movement since the beginning through social media, but I haven't visited in person yet. I am optimistic and happy about the movement.
