What's Better: Stevie Wonder or Sesame Street?

trick question: stevie wonder ON sesame street

my friend jake first introduced me to this video. it has layers of wonderful.

first off, the kids on the fire escape. do you see that little girl? i have no doubt that she has attained enlightenment by now. she epitomizes the transcendent power of pop music.

second, imagine that you're just hanging out, and you're six years old, and you're just watching sesame street, eating cereal, and stevie wonder comes on the screen to rock your world for almost seven minutes. SEVEN MINUTES! they don't just play this song. they play it, rage on it, end it, and start it over again while stevie sings, "sesame street. sesame street. that's where i will be"! life-changing....

third, stevie wonder! that smile! that voice! those sweet funky riffs! what else can i say?

fourth, the song itself. besides the fact that it might be the funkiest riff of all time, i'm still trying to wrap my ahead around being a little kid and really listening to the words of "superstition." i mean, i don't know if i fully understand them. i think they have a deep meaning that can only be attained after several dharma talks and intense periods of meditation. here they are for your edification:

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you dont understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin strong,
You dont wanna save me, sad is my song.

When you believe in things that you dont understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin more to say,
Very superstitious, the devils on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you dont understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way, no, no, no

at my current level of understanding, i think he's trying to say that we should not believe in things that hand over our Divinity, like curses, the devil, and bad luck. in truth, you are beautiful, and you belong here. it might be hard now, but your place in the universe is secure...

and its on sesame street for god sakes! there will surely be more from them on this site.
