Here’s a little something to make you smile. It’s Pharrell Williams and Minions. That should put you in a lighter mood today.

Music Monday – Here Come The Mummies – “Freak Flag”
Here is a song for all us freaks out there who want to be themselves. Don’t forget to let your freak flag fly this week.
#FBF – REO Speedwagon – Take It On The Run #rbfestival
REO Speedwagon is one of the best bands of the 1980’s. They are still touring and they will be in concert tonight at Chattanooga’s Riverbend Festival. I can’t wait to see their show.
Tunes Tuesday – U2 – Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Our nation is still reeling over the events in Orlando and those wounds will take a long time to heal. This song from long ago seems so fitting today. These lads from Ireland know how to share the consciousness of what people are thinking and feeling. What are you doing in the name of love?
Lyrics
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Tunes Tuesday – Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer
This song tells a story of a couple who are going through tough times. I think the central message of living on a prayer is what many experience as daily life. Prayer and persistence through trials can make the difference. Bon Jovi released this in 1986 and he sounds as good today as he did back then.
Music Monday – Corey Hart – Sunglasses At Night
Being a prescription glasses wearer all my life wearing sunglasses most anytime is not always a good thing. My preferred style is Wayfarers from Ray Ban. This one hit wonder from 1984 has held up over time and I hear it a lot on the music station I listen to in Chattanooga.
