Destiny's Mama

*Note: This is not my FHVD clip, that's on Mondays, remember

The response to the first Destiny’s Mama clip has been overwhelming, to say the least. The comments have numbered in the ones, so I have decided to post another clip. This one’s for the fan(s). If you have been living under a rock and don't know who Destiny's Mama is, see previous post called "Exclusive Vintage Video."

It’s a little tune called Toss Me a Bone. It illustrates the angst felt between a parent and child who live in different states (literarily or figuratively speaking). I wrote this for my parents at a time when they were having difficulty dealing with the fact that their favorite daughter (me) lived in another state (they still struggle with this). They wanted her (me) to move back to Boise with every fiber of their being.

I will quickly identify my favorite points in the video:

1) Francie’s Charles Ingalls' hair

2) Erin, struggling to keep-up with my erratic tempo

3) Francie’s close up

4) Destiny’s Mama screaming at Francie to move—totally against what Destiny’s Mama stands for

5) Destiny’s Mama incorporating the scream into the song

Without further ado, Destiny’s mama, performing Toss Me a Bone…

Destiny’s Mama was starting to feel the pressure. They had made take after take without achieving the level of perfection that performing for Oprah demands, and they finally snapped.

One member of Destiny’s Mama had this to say about the breakdown: “Frances had received another phone call from her dad, and… well, you’ll see what happens next…”
