And She Was

I am a big fan of the Talking Heads, and this song was one of my favorites from them. It is New Wave music at its best. I use to think of David Byrne's music, as being very close to Alternative music.
David Byrne is very talented and imaginative, so that his songs bring on new meaning to what one might think is the true meaning of the songs that he writes.
According to David Byrne, he wrote this song because of a girl he knew, who use to take LSD, in a field next to a Yoo-hoo beverage factory in Baltimore, Maryland. This song reached #54 on the U.S. billboard hot 100 chart, and #17 on the British single chart in 1985.

Black Or White

This is the full version of this video. Most people are familiar with the shorter version, but as a tribute to Michael Jackson, and for his contribution of his musical talents, and video directing, to the world, I felt like it was the right thing to do.
Although I am not a fan of his crotch grabbing, when he dances, I do think that he has inspired many, with his other dance moves, and it saddened me, when I heard that he had died, just before he was planning a come back tour.
He was a man who believed in peace and love. He dreamed about saving the world, from all of the bad things, which are being done to it, on a daily basis. I hope that many will carry on his dream, so that we can all live peacefully, one day soon, in the near future. No wars, no famine, no racial divides.



What are your thoughts about, what should be done to make the world a better place to live?

Pour Some Sugar On Me

This song is my favorite song from the band Def Leppard. After being out of the lime light, for as long as it took Rick Allen to recover from a December 1984 car accident, which resulted in the amputation of his left arm, Electronic drum manufacturer Simmons created a kit, which would allow Rick to be able to play the drums with one arm, by adding drum pads for his feet.
This song had a really cool video, which re-introduced Rick, and his new drums, to their fans, so I decided to put the original video, and a live video on here, because both are worth watching.
