Is there a place for poetry and the arts on sites like YouTube or LiveVideo (etc.)?

I saw the best minds of the vloggerhood
destroyed by commercialization, the DMCA, and flame wars
squeezed into narrow categories
made to compete for top honors
against networks content
and still failing to connect
Would the beats have thrived here?
What categories would they choose?
Would Ginsberg have been a guru
while Ferlinghetti stared at the city lights
with Kerouac behind the wheel
and just let anonymous sock puppets multiply?
There is a road, no info super highway
that leads to true community and real connections
to a place where we decide what matters
and roller skating dogs are but a dream
I aim to be on that road
with Neil, and Jack, and Caroline
bundled in the back of my Studebaker coupe
as we head out for the coast

The traditional "Happy Birthday" song is actually copyrighted, owned by Time-Warner, and they consider singing it on this site to be a "public performance" that requires paying a royalty.
And so, I offer my all-new copyright-free Happy Birthday song. Have fun with it; it's my gift to the world.
More info and resources...

By comparing Barack Obama's South Carolina win to Jesse Jackson (1984 & 1988), was Bill Clinton also then comparing Hillary Clinton to Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis? Or was he just being a jerk?

The late great director, Alfred Hitchcock, kept a second home away from Hollywood in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In this video, I go in search of the Hitchcock ranch, find the inspiration for the Bates Motel, and discuss Hitch's Northern California inspired films.

A rambling reply to Peri Urban about the future of viral video sites, and what it will take (from us and from the companies) to achieve mass adoption and acceptance of vlogging as a communications medium.
Save the Date: July 8, 2009, for the Viral Video-palooza in Silicon Valley.
If anybody else tries to do a video event on this day, or in Silicon Valley, my buddies at Viacom will sue your ass!
I spent last Monday in Los Angeles following my brother, Steve, around as he pursued his hobby at Hollywood Forever, Hillside Memorial Park, and Holy Cross cemeteries.
We shot about two hours of video, so it will take me a few weeks to sort through and edit all of it. This is just a sneak preview.

The Old Joke Video Repertory Theater (OJVRT) is an ongoing experiment in online group joke telling.
This week's story is the classic tale of the old man who wants to be castrated... or does he? Misunderstandings abound in this not too offensive classic joke.

The Old Joke Video Repertory Theater (OJVRT) is a new experiment in online group joke telling.
This week's story is the classic tale of the rancher selling a talking dog. If the dog is really so special, how can the rancher bear to part with him so cheaply? Humorists have pondered this question for decades.

Just my feelings on the state of the world today, and the difficulty of trying to make a political vlog that's not offensive or over five minutes long (not to mention the danger of letting somebody else edit your vlogs).
