Uncool Music Playlist - Journey "Don't Stop Believin"
The Uncool hits keep on rolling... Live, from Jeff's iPod is #12 on his most played list "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey.
From the GLEE cover version to the Sopranos scene above, this song has taken on a pretty healthy second life twenty years later.

Uncool History - Franklin: America's Essential Founding Father
Jeff's Uncool history series continues with a look at Benjamin Franklin."Franklin: America's Essential Founding Father" by James Srodes.
If you want to understand the founding of the country and the founding fathers, you need to have some perspective on Benjamin Franklin. He's one of those dudes who did so many things, any one of which would have been remarkable, it's hard where to start.
He was America's first self-made millionaire.
He invented the battery. THE BATTERY.
He invented a font. Who invents a font?
He invented bifocals, a stove, the lightening rod, a musical instrument, and bunch of other stuff.
He drew of the most famous political cartoon ever sketched.
His model of the fire department and the post office are still used today.
He pretty much personally got the French to side with us in the Revolutionary War.
Read your history books!!!!
