From YouTube – In 1978, Billy Joel released his album 52nd Street, which won two Grammy Awards for ‘Album of the Year’ and ‘Best Male Pop Vocal Performance’. Watch the official music video for ‘Big Shot’, which became a Top 20 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
I heard this song this morning on the radio on my way into work and it got me going. Billy Joel is one of the great American rock stars. His sound is distinctive and very New York.
Wednesdays are hump days and that is true but the carry over from Tuesday still resonates. One of our cars broke down yesterday and getting it fixed is going to cost us. I am keeping cool, calm and collected while working and keeping things going at the office. Tuesday’s still suck and Friday can’t get here fast enough.
Alisan Porter had a interesting journey to winning The Voice. She played Curly Sue in the movie by the same name. She was also on Star Search as a kid. Now she wins the American version of The Voice. Her vocal range can go from powerful to subtle. I can see why she won this. Her coach Christina Aguilera became the first woman coach to win too. Congratulations Alisan.
Don’t take out your anger on someone innocent or someone just trying to do their job. Whatever is going on in ones life should not cause pain and agony for a bystander. Controlling ones emotions can mean bad things don’t have to happen to good people. If you find yourself getting pissed just take a step back and think about what you are going to do and say next. There are some things worth getting angry about but most times getting angry only hurts yourself. Please advance peace and don’t retreat old hurts. Yes much of this is easier said than done but it’s worth trying and doing.
