WHO IS THIS GUY?
Josh Greene is a multi-talented genius and humanitarian who enjoys writing his own bios. After a tour of duty in the trenches of children's theater, his professional career was launched with an appearance on FRASIER, which catapulted him into a guesthouse in the Valley. Shortly thereafter he did some time in the Broadway musical RENT, then returned home to pursue lifelong goals like fame, fortune, and the elimination of world hunger. Josh was the star of Discovery Channel’s RALLY ROUND THE HOUSE, and recently wrapped his 50th episode of TLC’s 10 YEARS YOUNGER. Providing the voice of Jimmy Lizard in the Weinstein Company’s animated hit HOODWINKED, he also penned the song RUNAWAY which was included on the film's award-winning soundtrack. In 2005 Josh wrote/directed/produced THE COMMISSION, a film which walked away with nine nominations and three wins, including "Best Comedy" and "Best Screenplay" at the 168 Hour Film Festival in L.A. Last year he starred with Tenacious D's Kyle Gass in the smash hit musical ROCK OF AGES, and is currently in development on three feature films, a television pilot, and his first solo album. It's looking like world hunger may just have to wait -- Or you could visit ONE.org and help stamp it out yourself!
I’ve actually wanted one for several years, but Lego doesn’t sell them anymore and their price on the collector’s market has more than quintupled. Yes, you read that right… This set is going for upwards of $2000. And I still want one.

So I’m sitting in Starbucks trying to get some work done and Dave Storrs sends me a Youtube link. A minute later I’m laughing so hard I’m literally crying out loud. And it’s packed in here…

The internet is cool, and the world continues to get smaller. My mom (the one who 15 years ago kept insisting that she didn’t NEED a computer!) has been Facebooking, and recently joined a group comprised of students with whom she and my dad worked at Anderson Highland High School back in the 70′s. Of course these “students” are all now pushing 50, but then again… I’m not exactly four years old anymore either.
Back in the day, under the direction of my father, all these folks got together to make a RECORD! You know, the vinyl kind. What resulted is nothing less than the single-most influential recording in the world… of 1970′s High School Choral music coming out of Anderson, Indiana. Sadly, rather than archiving precious copies of this collector’s item, it appears the kids took to using them as frisbees and the like. Stupid kids. I bet they sold all their Star Wars action figures too — wait a minute, that was me…
At any rate, several years back I transferred this fine LP to CD for one of those Christmases when I was too broke to actually BUY a present for my father. He cringed, then laughed, then listened to it again for the first time in years and I think kinda loved it. Since then it’s gotten heavy rotation in my own personal music library, and even managed to crack the playlists of some of my friends. This sonic time capsule is making a comeback in a big way, and a track or three may even be coming soon to a theater near you, so keep your ears open!
In the meantime, take a listen. And if you’re so inclined, feel free to download the entire record by clicking on the album cover above. Cringe. Laugh. Enjoy. Whatever you do, just… Don’t Take Away the Music.
