A Jewish Music Vid in Just a Few Easy Steps!

After a friend's recent submition to Jewish Star I've discovered for myself the empirical formula for all modernized Jewish music videos in existence.

==============

1. Artist. Usually walking at first then singing, often playing a guitar at this point.

2. Random scenes of buildings, the sky, the sidewalk, cars, the sidewalk again, the sky again, back to artist either in front of bricks or on a bench.

3. Introduce random Bad-Day-Guy; a random guy walking with a sad face. Hands in pockets

4. Artist again

5. Back to Bad-Day-Guy, still walking

6. Repeat step 2

7. Bad-Day-Guy either walks into store, a subway, toward a bus, toward a friend, or toward a door

8. Bad-Day-Guy either cannot pay for or breaks an item in store and owner does something very dramatic with hands, has no funds for his subway ride to no real destination, misses bus, ditched by friend, or finds door locked.

9. Begin filming artist in random locations of no particular note

10. Bad-Day-Guy walking as before. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 untill all variations complete.

11. Bad-day-guys sits on bench or on ground next to brick wall looking really, really sad. Viewer begins to wonder if Bad-Day-Guy will cut wrists over minor inconveniences.

12. Step 9

13. Often Bad-Day-Guy meets Random-Rabbi-Guy at this point, if not things suddenly begin to get exponentialy better for no visible reason anyway.

14. All events in step 8 magically undone.

15. Bad-Day-Guy looks happy. Did not cut wrists. Bad-Day-Guy and artist seen walking to eachother and meeting up. Viewer wonders how they wind up knowing eachother. Artist must be wizard who foresaw and saved Bad-Day-Guy through magic soul-song.

16. they walk away together. Blur out. Song ends.
