Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women - Bald Headed Blues - THE VIDEO

[DaphneHarridge]

This is wonderful! At nearly three years post-chemo, my hair is back to normal but I'm shaking my butt to this terrific song while I laugh and cry at the same time. Thanks so much!!

[TheJohnnyBE]

@DaphneHarridge : YOU ROCK Daphne! Thank You.

[28j06h42mn12s]

I love Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women!

Beautiful!



[nutlady1960]

Two weeks to the minute of my first chemo, I scratched my head and the whole top of my hair came out. By that night - the top was bald. I shaved the rest a couple days later. I thought the hair loss would be awful - but it wasn't. I celebrated it - had a party the day my hair went away. Then I put stickers on my noggin, let the kids draw all over it, let people at church draw on it, not once did I wear a wig and I barely wore a hat. It was awesome!!

[alessmacri]

the best!!!

[FeeCorner]

I am having chemo right now and, despite being very open about my new hair status was having a bad bald day when a friend sent me this!! I love it and it made me laugh out loud and cry at the same time....I am definitely standing tall and choosing to dance with life but this helps the process along an awful lot!! THANK YOU!!

[TheJohnnyBE]

@FeeCorner : ^ ) Zactly why we made it.Sending healing thoughts.

[DaphneHarridge]

@FeeCorner ~ I had chemo three years ago, and yes there are "bad bald days" not to mention dreaming you have hair, but I too found this song to be just wonderful.  God bless you as "cancer battles you" as the song says! :-)

[Justtc]

@TheJohnnyBE

Rest in Peace, Joe. Say hi to my Dad up there for me. (No, Joe and my Dad didn't know each other on this side of life, but since Joe had the cahoones to do the video, and my Dad was just as wacky, they are bound to run into each other sooner rather then later! lol)

Thanks for letting us know, Jonny

[DaVideoGameReviews]

Hey, it would be great if you could send me the original avi. file to this video so that i could include this in a breast cancer presentation. thanks

[momofsue]

This is such a good video and very uplifting. Losing your hair through cancer treatments can be very traumatic for everyone men and women both. Not being sexist here but maybe affects women a little more. This is a brilliant way to deal with it. It's going to happen with the treatment, but laugh it off and pray your treatment kills the cancer. I've got you favourited, thank you so much.

[Tahoe110859]

what a great video!!

[brendaoosterbaan1]

[scutecrone]

This song is so powerful - thanks so much ladies for your strength - wisdom and talent. Thanks also for the video - I am sure it has given strength to many - and a few laughs too.

[MachtMirSpass]

Wonderful! Go, ladies, go! My aunt had breast cancer a few years ago and WON; I know she will appreciate this.

[80sgurln08]

This is great!!! We lost my step mother 4 years ago this month to cancer! She was so brave and so optimistic and she would have loved this song. I think it is wonderful that there are light hearted ways to take on the battle of cancer. For all of you out there who are......don't give up, don't let it get you down....maybe one day a cure will be found!!! And my God blees you all!!!!

[tgraycoleman]

loved it!

[zuniga6412]

Really awesome!

[TheSmoothii]

Good uplifting video...Well done!

[MaryEllenAzle]

very nice.

[SaggiScorp]

Outstanding! Am sharing on Twitter and FB.

[mahreeya]

I watch this video several times a week! I have been bald 3 times in 10 years due to chemo, and boy o boy, does this song cover every aspect of it. Funny and heartwarming.

[billyseamusic]

This is all kinds of awesomesauce :) Wonderful! I love it :)

[silvercobra281]

Very cute. It was fantastic. Quite uplifting and cheerful. It makes you feel better in some ways and it allows patients of something rough to feel better. Cancer's a tough thing. Kudos to the survivors of any kind and Kudos to this video. That woman could really belt it out, now THAT is power!

[FayreOne]

This rocks!!! Just finished my radiaton, and my peach fuzz is coming back! Thanks so much for the uplifting and fun song!

[collinnc2001]

well sweety keep the spirits high hope you get better

[Darkhorse21x]

What I could never come to grips with is that the Hypocratic Oath doctors make says,

1. Do no further harm

2. Administer no poison

Could someone please tell me how chemotherapy aligns with the ypocratic Oath.

Watch "Run From The Cure" on YouTube for more info

[momofsue]

This video was FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for getting in touch about it. I'd be happy and honoured to spread the word. Losing her hair was very traumatic for my little sister, she decided to shave it all off when it started coming out in clumps, her husband did it for her and then himself. We all went out to hers for a visit and ALL OUR MEN FOLK had shaved their heads to make her feel better. She's gone now, but is forever in my heart. Thank you.

[irishgrl]

I just sent this to my daughter who works at the cancer center in Oroville CALIFORNIA.

[MonicaBurns]

Thanks for the link, Johnny. I've spread the word.

[shorty4u262002]

This was AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sending me the message about this Johnny! I am very sorry about your Son. We just lost a dear friend yesterday to brain cancer. He was wonderful & always the life of the party even when he was so sick. Our hearts are heavy..but this video helped me to see the brighter side..made me smile! Thank you soooooo much<3

[jhawkes68]

YAY, that is so great, thank you for that!!!

[dedebiren]

YEAH!!!!!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!

[donnamcgjomo]

You go girls. Now you've got something that is all your own. Proud of you.

[deejweej]

Outstanding!!! I love it! What a fun and uplifting video. Thanks for sharing.

[gonzocivic]

[xxcocoxxchanelxx]

That's awesome!

[MsBravehart]

Thank you so much for lifting the spirits of the bravest women in the world!!!!!!!! :) Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[TheJohnnyBE]

The pleasure is all ours.

[squeealex]

Thanks for sending the link to this. I feel the same as all the people in this video. I lost my hair when going through chemo for breast cancer and it was quite liberating!  No hair appt's, no combs/brushes, saved tons on shampoo and coloring, etc! BALD IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[midknight333]

Thanks for sending me the link to this video. Although I've been blessed with relatively good health, so far, I've had several relatives that have had 'cancer battle with them' and this is a positive, motivating, video like the St. Vincent Providence music video, which sends a loving, spirited, message of encouragement to those afflicted and awareness to those who aren't. Thanks for sharing! =)

[Diamond2Wheels]

Tkx Johnny for sending me your video. Listened to this music over and over again and I LOVE it! I'm bald from chemo and I'm not ashamed to be without my locks. At first I was scared of the looks I'd get, but...I'm BEAUTIFUL without hair and its nice to not have a bad hair day AND everyone loves rubbing and kissing my bald smooth amazing head!! Oh and I can be a blond-brunette or redhead anytime I wish! The world is my audience and I'm takin' a bow ! xoxoxo Tia

[MrNiceHk]

Fantastic .. Chemo and the Blues !! LOL Laughter is the best medicine ehh

[TheJohnnyBE]

You got it. Thanks.

[dangtang707]

oh man these ladies got the licks. go the girls. and music with a cause whats better

[Lauriecas63]

This makes me smile every time I watch it :)

[DownHomeWithMyrtle]

Well, I couldn't agree more with Johnny's statement.  Gaye and Ann Rabson both are Cancer Survivors

[blueschick11]

These ladies are the real deal!! Yeah!!

[marf224]

Johnny -- great song, great video, great performers -- these ladies are fabulous! Very sorry to hear about your son. I lost my mother to a brain tumor in my early 20s. She didn't live long enough to regain her hair. But I still loved her bald head!

[bkathbell]

LOVED it-- my son is a 6-year brain tumor survivor. I also lost my 4-year old niece to a brain tumor in 1996.

When she lost her hair to radiation, she balled it up and put it out for the birds to use in their nests.

It was a traumatic moment when my son's super super-thick hair started coming out in handfuls, and radiation kills the follicles for good so it usually never comes back like it was.

But hair is just hair, and losing the hair is well worth the chance to live another day :-)

[TheJohnnyBE]

Happy to hear that your son is doing well. So sorry to hear about your niece, though. Birds nests... How beautiful. The video is dedicated to my youngest son, Andy, who I lost to brain cancer in 1999 at the age of 24. Thanks for sharing.

[theoldmole]

Great performance, great song.

[Lauriecas63]

Smiled all the way through it.......thank you :)

[mjm8382]

Great show last night! More than happy to be part of the sharing on the tune, attitude and plattitude. I'm sure gonna miss em!

[AJGfromVA]

She who has hope has everything. .....

One day I hope to dance with my grandchildren to this song.....

xxxoooxxx

[TheJohnnyBE]

No words. Thank you.

[64talb]

Fabulous!! Kudos to Gaye, Ann and Andra!! Everyone needs to go out and buy Saffire's CD, "Having the Last Word". Saw them in Annapolis last night! Brava! Pass this link to everyone!

[paule1942]

This is true courage. My hats off to all of you!

[paulplooster]

Pain is a temporary thing.... quitting is FOREVER...

Love you Gaye....

I still like the way you shake ;)....

[Cntryldy51]

I love it!!! This is wonderful!!!

Should be sent to a cancer society so they can put on a commercial or on tv for everyone in the world to see.. Thank you ladies!!!

[TheJohnnyBE]

You have my permissin to send this link to any cancer support group, society, and the rest of the universe as well : ). Thanks. Johnny.

[patpath1]

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!!

[shericohen1]

[TheJohnnyBE]

[msludie]

You guys rock! Everyone please pass this video along, especially to people dealing with cancer and all who love them.

[paule1942]

Wonderful! A great song with marvelous musicians, and for a truly great cause!!

[CindyBray1]

I LOVE these women, and this song is an amazing testament... Great song for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

[TheJohnnyBE]

I LOVE these women too! Thanks.

[jcrowe1950]

Just saw Saffire last night at the Cactus Cafe in Austin,

TX. They were, as always, wonderful. Afterwards Gaye told me to check out this video. It's inspirational and is seeing how Gaye handles life. I'm just sorry that more of my friends did not have the wonderful experience of being there. Long live Saffire......

[ytsumoe]

MAGNIFICENT WORK! Congratulations on a spectacular job, Johnny BE, Ryan, Ann, Gaye & Andra. So proud of you all.

[summersmckay]

This is PHENOMENAL!!!! The next YouTube Sensation in my opinion!!!!!
