"Hey Ya Charlie Brown!"
Even the Peanuts crew loves Outkast. You gotta watch this QT movie of Charlie Brown and friends performing "Hey Ya". (It's a good size file, but it's worth the wait.) Enjoy.

"I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it: we must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and soul. It may be that we are doomed, that there is no hope for us, any of us, but if that is so then let us set up a last agonizing, bloodcurdling howl, a screech of defiance, a war whoop! Away with lamentation! Away with elegies and dirges! Away with biographies and histories, and libraries and museums! Let the dead eat the dead. Let us living ones dance about the rim of the crater, a last expiring dance. But a dance!"
– Henry Miller (1934)
