Let’s Rock Again!

There are very few people that I really consider to be musical heroes … or at least, who are heroes to me.

The few that I do consider to be heroes were not necessarily life-altering for me, but definitely opened my eyes to different ideas.

Of course, one of my biggest musical heroes is [...]

Dopeur!

Apparently, I’m on crack, at least if a couple of the comments left on my Facebook wall are to be taken with any credence … and why this dastardly accusation you might ask?

Because I’ve been posting (and injecting myself into) song lyrics as my Facebook status for at least the past 24 hours, [...]

Southern Accents

I’ve always really enjoyed old music, but I’m beginning to get scared, because a lot of the “old” music I’m discovering is from the 70s.

Take second best, [...]

Marilyn Manson – “Tainted Love”

Marilyn Manson – “Personal Jesus”

Video Poetry (part the liar)

JOHNNY CASH – GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN

You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God’ll cut you down Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight [...]

Walk The Line

New bio-pic about Johnny Cash called “Walk The Line” to be released November 18, 2005. Check out the trailer.

The Man in Black is the true King of music, as far as I’m concerned.

And you can’t beat these lyrics (even if they were written by June Carter, instead of Johnny):

Love is a [...]
