Every now and again I come across a great music video. It could be powerful, full of eye candy or just plain fun. So, I decided that with the help of the online video services, like YouTube, I’d start up a music video spotlight. It’ll showcase some of my favorite videos for one reason or another.

First off is Goodbye Earl from the Dixie Chicks. The subject of the song is serious, but it’s been played out in a fun way. Goodbye Earl has drawn a lot of controversy in the past, but it’s an all out fun song with a very smart video. The way it transitions from one scene to the next is smooth and very smart. Just remember, don’t kill your spouse, it’s illegal.

Listening to the radio yesterday I heard a great new song that I was certain was the Dixie Chicks. So I looked up the website this morning and Not Ready To Make Nice is the first single of their new album Taking the Long Way.

Being such a good song I immediately opened the iTunes Music Store to buy it and found nothing. I then did a Google search and found a radio station that was asking it’s viewers if they liked it or not. To my surprise the sound clip was the entire song! So I quickly downloaded it and added it to my iPod.
