Soul at the end of the Twentieth Century


Soul at the end of the twentieth century: farewell to singer Whitney Houston. Below the jump, a video I have posted before on July 4; it is what some consider to be the best modern popular rendition ever done of the American anthem, Super Bowl XXV during the First Gulf War (1991). To have the world in the palm of your hand, and lose it all. The highest of heights, the lowest of depths: this life weighs so heavily on some of us.

    Whitney Houston was very strongly associated with a certain period of time. Losing her marks the loss of that decade and a half.
