Blondie: Dreaming

This seems appropriate in light of my last post. Dreaming is important everyone. We all need to do more of it.

Blondie was and still is a favorite music group of mine from childhood.

Weird Al Yankovic: Jurassic Park

It seems appropriate for this parody/satire video from Weird Al Yankovic that is a tribute to MacArthur Park. Claymation adds something to it.

Suzy Bogguss – Drive South

Here is another great song from Suzy Bogguss who performed at our Riverbend Festival last night. She is one of my favorites from the 1990’s country music scene.

Country Music Chaos

I have an open mind but what I don’t get is Country music acts trying to be pop and rock artists too? I am a casual country fan who thinks the genre has lost its soul while trying to be all things to all fans. Now I’m not saying some of the new stuff is all bad. There seems to be an identity crisis. It makes you wonder why they can’t stick to their roots with the influence of Cash, Carter, Williams, Nelson, Parton and George Jones. It’s OK to be who you are as a person and in music.
