B good !!!


Do you remember Michael J Fox playing the red guitar in that film ??

He couldn't play the guitar at all until he got the part then he got the part of Marty Mcfly he had to learn how to play.

A famous guitar player taught him to play but as far as i know it is still not been revealed who it was.

But it was definitely him playing...

watch Chuck Berry in his smashing hit "Johnny B. Good" :

Drop the Russian pilot

Glastonbury Festival is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world and a template for all the festivals that have come after it.

The difference is that Glastonbury has all the best aspects of being at a Festival in one astonishing bundle.

99 Red ballons in Russia sky


Funny how the Russians threatened nuclear annihilation on Poland, and not Germany, Not the US, not Great Britain, or anyone else today.

They desire, but won't fight Ukraine.

Russia will keep this up until they get what they want.

The original "99 Red Balloons" was called "99 Luft Ballons".

If This Is Love - next summer hit ?


The Saturdays new hit is very hot in UK.
Their voices are weak and this song is nothing special.
They don't even deserve to be in the top ten in the BBC chart.
I think you might as well get anyone off the streets these days.
Those girls are just poor singers.
The same goes for girls aloud.
Is this the best talent that we have to offer?
Well I'm not impressed.

Special Guests :

Tony Bennet sang duet for New York Stage of Mind.

Don Henley sang Boys of Summer.

John Mellencamp sang Pink Houses, and John Mayer came out and played guitar for This is the Time to Remember.

He also did five or so Beatles covers since they were the first ever to play at Shea.

My throat hurts for screaming and singing and I am sore from all the dancing.

AMAZING SHOW!!!

On the way out of the stadium you heard everyone talking about how amazing it was.
