    JOURNEY'S ARNEL PINEDA
I don't know if you call this the 'American Dream' or the new dream that Youtube has created. Arnel Pineda, once the lead singer for The Zoo (primarly a cover band in Manila) has hit the jackpot. In February of 2007, a friend of his started posting performances of his on You Tube singing a variety of 70's and 80's rock songs to apparently empty bar rooms. By June the videos had attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, including one very important viewer: Neal Schon, the lead guitarist of Journey. Long story short, Schon found Pineda, Pineda auditioned and became the next lead singer of Journey, and the next show he played was a Brazillian simulcast to 25 million people. The collaboration has since recorded a platinum album and their tour was the eighth grossing concert in 2008. Pineda not only sounds like the original Journey frontman, Steve Perry, he might even be a better singer. He has gone from completely obscurity to worldwide fame in 2 years, and has resurrected one of the best acts the 70s ever produced.

     MR. SNUFFLEUPAGUS
Honestly, I don't really remember all the details. But I was actively watching sesame street every day when Snuffleupagus had his debut. There was some big mystery, he was hiding, nobody believed he was real except Big Bird.. something like that. I really don't know the story, but I clearly recall being really really stoked about Snuffleupagus. He was like the loch ness monster of mid morning pre-school television... and totally awesome. I remember thinking that if I met snuffleupagus, he might bite my head—but that might be ok, because he doesn't have teeth, and would probably just kind of gnaw on my head with his gums.

As long as Snuffy doesn't talk, I'm OK with him.
