'Read It' comes to 'Live From the Newsroom'

‘Live From the Newsroom’ will get a very special visit tonight from the kids at the Lansdowne Library responsible for the ‘Read It’ video. Under the direction of librarian Abbe Kleabanoff and Director Sandara Gianella, the kids put together a dynamite parody to promote reading set to the classic Michael Jackson video, “Beat It.”

Only they named their version, ‘Read It.’

Unfortunately, they ran afoul of some folks at Sony Music and the Michael Jackson estate. They had to take the video down from YouTube, and that’s when they turned to us for help.

After a couple of stories, the powers that be relented. The video is back on YouTube. You can view it here.

Tune in tonight at 7 to hear the story behind the ‘Read It’ video.
