Some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them I would not disagree But I never learned nothing from playing it safe I say fate should not tempt me.

Melt my heart...
To me, this is the most BEAUTIFUL song Annie has sung to date. It is from when she went "solo", her DIVA album. And this gives away my most softest, old fashioned, romantic side! Yes, among the many sides to me - I am a hopeless romantic...

Back then, the fact that Sly & The Family Stone were such a mixed group culturally is not mentioned enough these days - or then actually for that matter. IMHO anyway. It was a very big deal then. (But, good song you like too... I like several of his.) WC |
In HONOR of... MLK
*Warning: one still shot in this Sam Cooke video, showing the scarred up back of a slave who had been whipped - yes, a brutal, harsh reality of what really happened. But, wanted to warn folks. Please do not open, if this can't be for you to see.

can't bomb it into peace.

Miss you so much already...(!)
This is a dedication to my buddy Johnny, from my hometown of growing up - who just passed away on Monday. I loved him. Once (I think on my last site) I wrote about a family of very wonderfully "rough/strong" red heads from my birth town - where the girls were nothin' to be "reckoned" with. I am crazy about them! Well, I know all three of the sisters and am pretty close to two of them. However, I don't think I mentioned the "boy" of the family! I was always close with him too. And he would have done ANYTHING for me, and was unconditional with me, totally accepting!
He threw the javelin farther in high school, than anyone ever has - in our home town, and could have easily been a pro-baseball player. He was the best fisherman and gardener in the STATE! (Next to my father, of course. OK, they were "equal", smile...) And, WHAT AN OUTLAW! He was in and out of trouble with the law thoughout his entire life. He was one of the toughest, bad asses in town - who never disrespected me . In fact he was the most sweetest, kind, fun, loving and protective with me. I was like a sister to him. He was my brother. __ John became very ill with diabetes so many years back - eventually had part of his one leg removed, yet was STILL was something to be feared. Nothing scared Johnny. Even if he had gotten down to this very little frail guy - having once been this incredibly bulky, strong man. Thankfully, I saw him about a month ago, gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him - and told him I loved him, as I always did tell him whenever I ran into him. He was hobbling around a pool table on one leg that day, KICKING someone's ass there - always the competitive one! And, tough as he was... he has a son, and his son is a VERY open queer kid in town - and John loved him unconditionally. So, that in itself makes him a hero in my mind.

So, here's to you Johnny! Rest in peace, buddy. I know it's been ROUGH!! The town will NOT be the same without you. You will always be a legend though. :stillheart: |

Wow! that Jay-Z song was intense

So, I think I have a somewhat unique taste in music. Here is the list of albums on my iPod:
So there you go. I have basically no idea who the modern musicians are these days - my girlfriend will mention an artist or song and I usually have no idea who she is talking about. There is one exception though - I'm a huge fan of Lady Gaga - go figure. |
OK...

And of course, Curtis Mayfield's version!!
"As with the previous year's Keep on Pushing, People Get Ready featured another big Curtis Mayfield hit, one that made as strong an impact on the civil-rights movement as on the charts. One of the most beautiful songs of the '60s, "People Get Ready" set the oft-used "gospel train" as its theme, with Mayfield speaking of faith for the present and deliverance in the future."
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOXmaSCt4ZE"]YouTube- Curtis Mayfield - People Get Ready - #8[/ame] A little bit of an older Curtis here. He is surely missed - and one brilliant, beautifully spirited, and talented song writer & artist. :stillheart: |
Molly Hatchet is a southern rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1971. The band took its name from a prostitute who allegedly mutilated and decapitated her clients.

The Rossington-Collins Band was an off-shoot of US southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, founded in 1979 by guitarists Allen Collins and Gary Rossington following the tragic 1977 plane crash which killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. The Jacksonville band released two albums, but disbanded in 1982 due to increasing instability with guitarist Allen Collins following the death of his wife in 1980. Another contributing factor was the growing relationship between vocalist Dale Krantz and Gary Rossington, who married soon after the band dissolved.

Ellen...
... begins as judge tonight on American Idol.
Sure I think she will bring a different "sense" of humor/feel/perspective to the set... but, I also believe that she will be suprisingly more serious in this position - than folks are expecting or anticipating. (And who was more funny than Paula sometimes half off her rocker anyway?) :p *Anyway, I am curious. I know what a HUGE music lover and promoter of music Ellen is - on her show, of ALL GENRES. Plus, she has done the Grammies, etc... And she is so special and important for "our community"! It's about "representin'"! Yes, sometimes, it is... just that. (I will note here though, that Simmon already said this was HIS last season -and/or the show's last season (?), so maybe this year with Paula out and Ellen IN, does mean something we are not yet aware of...?) |
