I took a trip in the Wayback Machine when I watched this clip of Stevie Wonder laying down the funk on Sesame Street with an extended rendition of “Superstition”. I’m pretty sure I remember seeing this performance when I was a mere tyke. Actually, I owe Sesame Street a sizable debt for setting me on a road to academic achievement and professional success. My parents and Sesame Street were probably the two biggest influences on my budding intellect. Ernie was the character I wanted to hang out with the most, while Cookie Monster struck me as something of a simpleton. As I got older, I became a devotee of The Electric Company (“Hey, you guyyyys!”) and 3-2-1 Contact, thus ensuring that I would be a lifelong acolyte of the Public Broadcasting Service.
