Renaissance 2.0
“You’re All I Have” by Snow Patrol is one of my favorite songs. I still can’t understand how it never really became a big hit single. I’m usually pretty good at predicting whether or not a new song will be a hit or not on the charts. I was dead wrong about this one but…
The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing are officially over now and what a spectacle it was. I think all Olympic games have their own special unique voice so no one can ever declare one better than any others, especially the ridiculous statement that some IOC presidents used to make about a particular event being the…
I have a soft spot for the group ZEBRA from the 1980s. I saw them live at the Meadowlands in New Jersey and have always loved their music. There were only three of them but they created such a big sound. Randy Jackson (not the one from American Idol!) was the lead singer with the…
The 1996 Olympics in Atlanta had two of the best Olympic theme songs ever! There was “REACH” by Gloria Estefan and “The Power of the Dream” by Celine Dion. Here’s the chilling live performance from the closing ceremonies. You have no choice but to be moved by this beautiful and unforgettable song. Note: See if…
Since we’re experiencing the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, thoughts of my favorite Olympic themes come to mind. Right at the top of the list comes “REACH” by Gloria Estefan performed during the closing ceremonies of the 1996 games right here in my backyard in Atlanta, GA! The song still gives me chills and inspires…
Del Amitri is an underrated artist. I really love their stuff. Their biggest hit was Roll to Me, but “Tell Her” is a good example of their work that has gone pretty much un-noticed. Here’s Del Amitri performing this song live Tell her not to go I ain’t holding on no more Tell her something…
You have Place a Chill in My Heart by Eurythmics has always been one of my favorite songs. I love Annie Lennox’s performance vocally, visually and emotionally. She does a great job playing the part of several different female characters in telling this tale of the heart. The music and the lyrics work so well…
The anguish of suffering a miscarriage stays with you forever. The pain might subside to a certain degree but it will always remain with you deep down inside. You always think about how things could’ve been, what milestone you would’ve celebrated had your baby lived. Yes, it’s a torturous game that parents play but we…
I love Jeff Beck! The video for “Ambitious” is pure fun full of delightful cameos! Check it out and see for yourself. My favorites are Marilyn McCoo, Jon Butcher and Donny Osmond! Yes, I know. He was great in it, trust me. The best part comes during McCoo’s performance and Jeff does that shooting sound…
