'Heal me, my darling'

Just because: Ben Harper, covering "Sexual Healing." (Also solo.)

And to make your day: Stevie Wonder doing "Superstition" live on Sesame Street in 1973. (The little kid dancing at the top of the stairs is my hero.)

And hey, to make my day: My little tune-fest this morning (which I've spared you most of), made me think of my rinse-cycled iPod so, with some trepidation, I plugged it in.

It worked!

It will be interesting to see if it holds up -- often, exposure to water leads to corrosion that destroys electronics over time -- but things are looking good for the moment. I didn't do anything much for it except leave alone for a few days and run it briefly through the dryer.

Update: Unsurprisingly but disappointingly, it didn't hold up.
