Renaissance 2.0
The discussion begins at the end of every World Cup about who is the best team in soccer history. While Spain was a good team (and incredibly lucky), they are not the best of all time. This has to be proven over a longer period of time than their two year run winning the Euro…
I’m a big fan of Buble so it’s no surprise that I loved this song and the wonderful music video. It’s a sweet and simple song about keeping your hope alive about meeting your one and only. Whether you believe in soulmates or not, this is an upbeat fun and joyful song and music video….
I am obsessed with a song that came out in 1999 called “Senza Pieta” which means “Without Mercy” by an Italian artist I love named Anna Oxa. Somehow I never heard it when it came out so it’s like a new song to me. She’s always been one of my favorite artists because she’s always…
I love the show “Mad Men” so this documentary called “Art & Copy” was right up my alley! It’s all about the power and beauty that can be marketing and advertising when done right. It covers a lot of the glory from Madison Avenue from the 50s and 60s and beyond. It’s full of wonderful…
I was profoundly moved by a documentary called “FOR NEDA” which was a tribute to the woman that was killed during the Iranian protests in 2009. She immediately became a symbol for the incredible uprising in Iran. I remember when it happened and being captivated by all of the amazing news coming from that region…
What a difference 4 years make! I’m still in a state of shock that my beloved Azzurri did not make it out of the first round of the World Cup. That has not happened since 1974! We won the 2006 World Cup and we are the defending champions! How could this happen? Well, doesn’t matter…
The 2010 World Cup has arrived! It’s a bittersweet time for me because I am thrilled to watch the best in the world compete in soccer but at the same time it also means the end of Italy’s 4 years as World Champs! I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved the 2006…
I’ve always loved Styx. Yes, even when they’ve done sticky sweet ballads like Babe, The First Time and Don’t Let It End. Over all, I love their music. I will stack their best work up against anyone. My favorite songs being Come Sail Away, Lady, Renegade, Lights and The Grand Illusion (Angry Young Man). Even…
Here’s a totally 80s music video from BREATHE called “How Can I Fall” that brings back lots of memories. I really liked Breathe and their big hits “Hands to Heaven” and “Does She Love That Man”. This one made the top 5 as far as I can remember.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. It’s deep and thought provoking. The part that really stays with me is this one; Everyone’s got to face down the demons, Maybe today, We can put the past away This came to mind today because I had a nice serious conversation today with someone close…
