HUTTERITE COLONY: Â Wow....some really good journalism. Â It's crazy because all the "reality" TV failed to accomplish what these journalists did in a 1:54 second video interview. Â I am linking to a video interview with 17-year-old Grace Hofer, a member of a Hutterite colony in Canada. Â She's articulate, fun, and wise-beyond-her-years.
So she provides great narration. Â But you also get some amazing glimpses into Hutterite life: the supper tables, the kitchen, glimpses that are rare. Â So try to clear 2 minutes out of your schedule to watch this, it really shows that short-form journalism can be just as effective as long. Â Click here for the video.
AMISH OUTLAWS: Â A band compromised of ex-Amish are making headlines today. Â It's not every day that aspiring musicians get interviewed by USA Today. Â I'm sure these musicians are very talented in their own right, but I'm sure the Amish angle is their hook. Â Click here to read an interview with them.
I also watched multiple clips of them on YouTube this morning and I think the problem - for me personally - isn't their schtick, it's their song choices. If you like "classic rock": Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, you'll probably enjoy them. Â I tend to like more Top 40 and disco from that era, anyway. Â But click here if you want to check out the Amish Outlaws, a tune from Bon Jovi here.
