Alive and Kicking


This nice one from Simple Minds takes me back to a good time , when music was pure ...music.

I was just entering high school at the time that one was a smashing hit.

At first it sounds to me like U2 song - yet it is great Simple Minds.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?

What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

Who's gonna save you?

Some guys have all the luck


Ashton Kutcher managed to snag up the hottest women in the world--and convinced her to marry him.

He writes, "For me it’s about relearning that supporting my wife isn’t about providing $ (money) and home, it’s about supporting her desires, needs and emotions.

"Greatest lesson in my marriage: Don’t try to solve her problems, just..

Taylor Swift - Tell Me Something


Taylor Swift is a very talented and beautiful young lady.


Her voice is just beautiful and I love how she handles herself.


Its nice to have someone like her for kids to look up to.


I am also impressed how she has taken a hand in writting the songs.

The original recording of 'Oh My Love' - Lennon and Harrison

John and George At Ascott studio in June 1971 recording the song Oh My Love for the Imagine album.

Their German friend Klaus Voormann plays bass and the late Nicky Hopkins is on second piano.

How annoying is yoko ono?

Imagine being the other musicians and being told what and what not to play by her?

She's even giving George instructions.

Fair enough if John wanted her there but she should have just sat out of the way and let them get on with it.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme - Beautifull Song

This famous song is a classic one.

It is about the famous Fair in Ireland and it is based on the Irish folk song.

Video Of Simon & Garfunkel - 'Scarborough Fair' The Concert in Central Park :



Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme lyrics :

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washes the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
