Seger, Urban, Keith Tickets

I remember back in the 80’s when I was a freshman in high school, the first cassette I ever owned was Bob Seger’s Greatest hits. He remains one of my favorite artists to this day. Fire Lake is one of my favorites. It's a song about taking chances, something I am familiar with. To get bob seger tickets, check out Ticket America. If you are more into country music, you can also get keith urban concert tickets and toby keith concert tickets.

Gregorian Monks do Metallica!

Here are some of the strangest and most wonderful cover tunes of all time.

1. Gregorian Monks do Metallica!




I was lucky enough to see Metallica in concert during the "And Justice For all Tour" back in the eighties. I never thought I would see Gregorian Monks covering one of their songs, but it comes together beautifully.

2. Paradise City In Bluegrass



Have you ever wondered what Guns n Roses Paradise City would sound like played by a bluegrass band? Outstanding stuff!

3. Led Zeppelin in Reggae!



How about Led Zeppelin's Immigrant song sung Reggae style? Not strange enough? What if Elvis was the lead singer?

4 Metallica in Bluegrass!



I started this post with Metallica, so I thought I would end it the same way. Nothing Else Matters in bluegrass!

Sound of Silence

Did Simon and Garfunkel travel through time? Whenever I hear this song, I think about the world wide web.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

So it wasn't time travel, it was a vision.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

I wonder what the neon light was?

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

10,000? It must have been a slow day at yahoo games. Hey, we talk all the time without speaking don't we?

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

When I hear this part, I actually think of a sign that looks something like this.

If I was President. Election Night Special

Presidents are elected on Tuesday, not Friday, but his video still rocks.

Issue #119. Ha!

Push it! Push it real Good!

A strange thing happened to me the other day as I was paying my electric bill. The receptionist asked me if I had signed u for the free light bulbs yet. I told her I had not, and then she showed me the corkscrew Mercury filled light bulbs. I could feel the rage building up from my belly, and I had to bite my lip, look her in the eye, and say that I was not interested in the "free" light bulbs. Why would the electric company be pushing these things? Wouldn't using more electricity be in their best interests? I started to ask questions about the bulbs, who was pushing them and why, but the receptionist could see the fire in my eye, and she clammed up.

And then there are the signs and commercials everywhere, get your flu shots here! Once, an elderly co-worker told me he was gong to H.R. to get his work paid for Flu shot. At risk of losing my job (something that happened later anyway) I warned him of the mercury in the Thimerosal in the flu shot. He told me he knew about that, and that he would ask for a Thimerosal free shot. I told him that when he asks, they will tell him they don't have that version available. When he came back, he told me things went down just like he said they would. Why are places of business offering these things?

Mercury is a known neurotoxin. They know people are not going to take the bulbs to a recycling center, lol. They know the chance for autism increases with flu shots, They also know it can put the older population at risk for Alzheimers. Do they want more people to get sick? According to Dr. David Ayoub and his film "Vaccines and the Global Agenda", that is exactly what they want. There was a time when I wouldn't have believed this, but I'm not blind to the evidence.

Dread Zeppelin

What does Reggae music, Led Zeppelin and Elvis Presley have in common? Absolutely nothing ladies and gentlemen! That is, except for Dread Zeppelin. Dread Zeppelin was a band born in the eighties, they covered Led Zeppelin tunes, but they did it to a reggae beat. And, they had an Elvis impersonator as their lead singer! I couldn't imagine it either, but when you listen to them it works, and sometimes it's really funny. If you only have time to watch one video here, make it the first one. The sight of "Elvis" doing the WAAAHAAAHAAAAA scream from the Immigrant song had me in stitches.
