"I got my spine, I got my Orange Crush..."

Orange Crush: R.E.M., Green

This song is one of many off of R.E.M.'s Green album, one of the most influential albums musically and lyrically for my life. For the meaning of this and many songs, Stipe himself is rather vague on the true meanings and words of the songs. I read something once that this song was about The Vietnam War and the use of Napalm- then it was also about the actual soda "Orange Crush" and really, the world will probably never know. And that in and of itself is the beauty of music.

What music means to one person, will mean something different to another. What words touch one person's life will do nothing for someone else's world. Lyrically this song did not inspire me... The music of this song is a very driving beat and a driving song.

When I graduated High School my father took me on a camping trip in East Texas. It was so hot and humid that to escape the heat he took me on the back roads and taught me to drive a standard transmission. Once I got the hang of it I went off on my own- playing this song over and over... shifting with the changes in the song, singing with the chorus. It was a potent moment in the relationship between my father and I... a turning point almost- and this song was the "theme song" to that moment.

Lyrics:

Follow me, don't follow me

I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush

Collar me, don't collar me

I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush

We are agents of the free

I've had my fun and now it's time to

Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)

Coming in fast, over me

High on the roof,

Thin the blood,

Another one climbs on the waves tonight,

Comin' in, you're home

We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and

Centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and

Our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county

Hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I

Was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I

Headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back

Road and every truck stop

ALT TITLE: Brokeback Tapper 2: "i wish I knew how to quit you."

Dreamy and The Chicken Defiler: the love story continues... (big. huge.)

yep! still an entry for Musically Challenged!

The Devil in Me," by Kate Voegele (aka Mia Catalano on "One Tree Hill")

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.

In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.

They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.

In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

For the "Musically Challenged" group - "Fake Plastic Trees", by Radiohead

The song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKd06s1LNik

Her green plastic watering can

For her fake Chinese rubber plant

In the fake plastic earth.

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

To get rid of itself.

It wears her out, it wears her out

It wears her out, it wears her out.

She lives with a broken man

A cracked polystyrene man

Who just crumbles and burns.

He used to do surgery

For girls in the eighties

But gravity always wins.

And it wears him out, it wears him out.

It wears him out, it wears . . .

She looks like the real thing

She tastes like the real thing

My fake plastic love.

But I can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

If I just turn and run.

And it wears me out, it wears me out.

It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted

All the time, all the time.

Oh, oh.

Radiohead is one of those groups that I liked right out of the box, and before long I had collected every CD they'd made, and was hungry for more.. There's a sense of melancholy about their music that appealed to me, and a lonely beauty to the voice that I never tired of.. As is often the case though - reading the lyrics doesn't really make literal sense - not in the way most country songs do, with a straight-forward story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end.. But I was raised in a time when the lyrics were often secondary to the mood of the piece - and often were indecipherable anyway - much less what they "mean".. I think they mean what they mean to you - and that's all that really matters.. This song is so pretty, melodically, that it's almost a lullaby, even thought the lyrics are rather sad... I think...

even "this way" - it's still just me...

For musically talented Barossa Valley local, Sam Brittain, story-telling is exactly that. Since releasing his debut LP ‘Our Shining Skin’ on June 1, 2012, the path to success for the gifted and independent musician has transformed into a never-ending road. First picking up a guitar at the age of three and additionally turning his hand to the piano and drums,

In 2013, Sam is an unstoppable, roots, folk and blues artist, reminiscent of sounds such as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ryan Adams. Sam supported close friend and musical influence, Mike Rosenberg (Passenger) at Adelaide-based Fowlers Live, as an integral part of Mike’s ‘All the Little Lights’ album tour, a highlight of Sam’s career to date.

The recording of ‘Our Shining Skin’ saw Sam and his band work endlessly with the talented Barossa-based Jamie Blechynden of Stella Studios and VJ productions. Supported by BJ Barker (drums), Steve Flemming (bass) and Glen Wagland (engineer), tracking the backbone of all 12 songs took a mere two days to complete. ‘Our Shining Skin’ quickly earned impressive reviews and was labelled as a ‘formidable and wide spreading resume’ for Sam (Timber and Steel, August, 2012).

Kicking off an Australian tour, Sam officially released the highly anticipated album at a sold out show on June 9, 2012, held at the Chateau’s acoustically brilliant ‘Long Room’. In June and July 2012, Sam crossed the country, delighting crowds and building his fan base in Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide, including an unforgettable sold out show with Sam’s full band at the prominent Adelaide venue, the Promethean Theatre on September 27, 2012.

Marking the beginning of what’s set to be a milestone year and following a hugely successful first tour, Sam’s lead single ‘Bruises’ hit #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart on New Year’s Eve, 2012/13, where it consolidated its lead for a consecutive four weeks, peaking at #6 in the Overall Top 100.

2013 saw Sam embark on a 16 date tour once again supporting new age folk music legend Mike Rosenberg (Passenger).

The ''Vocal group Octachord'' with its 8 members has been active for 3 years now. It cherishes ''a capella'' way of singing of the songs from different genres, with a special emphasis on gospel and pop. We are the only mixed vocal group in Rijeka (Croatia) in the category to 10 members. We are musically educated young people who want to share their love towards music with as many people as possible. From the very beginning of our activity we have had many performances at the universities and faculties in Rijeka, as well as at many cultural events in Rijeka. Some of them are the humanitarian concert for helping of the blind and partially sighted children, organized by the association ''For the children with love''. We also performed at the opening of the Medieval sculpture exhibition in 2009, at the 5th Croatian slavistic congress in 2010. As well, it's our custom every year, from our founding, to have at least one Christmas whole-evening concert and in December 2011 we held four, two of which were in Zagreb (CRO) as a part of the event ''Advent in Zagreb''.

Throughout these 3 years of our existence we participated at 20° International coral competition in Verona (ITA) in 2009, where we won the best graded second place. We won jury commendations which were a great encouragement for us in the future. Last year (2011) we participated at the 1st International competition in ''a capella'' singing, organized by Olja Dešić and Vocal Studio Marathon - Vocal Marathon Encounters in Rijeka (CRO). In October 2011 we performed also at the International choral competition in Rimini (ITA) and we won the silver medal in category of gospel & traditional folk music. We also won a special award - golden medal in the category of vocal groups to 12 members.

In the purpose of presentating our work, with the help of ''Department of culture in Rijeka'', we had presented ourselves in our first whole-evening concert on November 13, 2010 in ''Croatian cultural center on Sušak''. We were very happy to see that the numerous audience was satisfied enjoying our performance. At the same place we prepare another independent concert in autumn.

The members of the Vocal group Octachord are:

Matea Marić (soprano), Anja Štrbac (soprano), Petra Štiglić (alto), Ana Matušan (alto), Dino Antonić (tenor), Ivan Špoljarić (tenor), David Bebić (bass), Ante Zubović (bass).

Il Gruppo Vocale Octachord, con i suoi 8 componenti, è attivo da 3 anni. Si è da subito dedicato al canto “a cappella” di diversi generi musicali, con un interesse particolare per il gospel e la musica pop. Attualmente è l’unico gruppo vocale a Fiume con meno di 10 elementi. Il gruppo nasce dalla volontà di alcuni giovani cantanti di condividere la loro passione per la musica con il pubblico. All’inizio della loro attività si sono esibiti in diversi concerti all’Università di Fiume, così come in molti eventi culturali della città. In alcuni casi hanno tenuto dei concerti in favore di associazioni umanitarie quali “For the children with love” che aiuta bambini con disabilità visive. Un appuntamento fisso per il gruppo è l’esibizione ai concerti di Natale, alcuni dei quali tenuti anche nella città di Zagabria in occasione dell’”Avvento a Zagabria”. Nel corso di questi 3 anni di attività il gruppo ha partecipato al 20° concorso internazionale di Verona nel 2009, dove ha ottenuto un secondo posto assoluto. Ha inoltre ricevuto il premio della giuria. Nel 2011 il gruppo vocale ha partecipato al concorso internazionale di canto a cappella di Fiume (Croazia) e nell’ottobre dello stesso anno si sono esibiti al concorso internazionale di Rimini e hanno vinto la medaglia d’oro nella categoria di musica gospel e canto popolare, oltre che il premio come miglior gruppo vocale.

Don't call it a comeback

i've been here for years

~Mama Said Knock You Out, by LL Cool J ::drool::

And b/c it goes w/ my new favorite, Fuck You, by Lily Allen (for Musically Challenged) I'm throwing that in too. Except I wasn't sure I wanted to fully attach any particular lyric from that song to this image.

that's all.

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.

Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]

A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

Paula Abdul~Opposites Attract

Baby seems we never ever agree

You like the movies

And I like T.V.

I take thing serious

And you take 'em light

you go to bed early

And I party all night

Our friends are sayin'

We ain't gonna last

Cuz I move slowly

And baby I'm fast

I like it quiet

And I love to shout

But when we get together

It just all works out

I take--2 steps forward

I take--2 steps back

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

And you know--it ain't fiction

Just a natural fact

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

Who'd a thought we could be lovers

She makes the bed

And he steals the covers

She likes it neat

And he makes a mess

I take it easy

Baby I get obsessed

She's got the money

And he's always broke

I don't like cigarettes

And I like to smoke

Things in common

There just ain't a one

But when we get together

We have nothin' but fun

I take--2 steps forward

I take--2 steps back

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

And you know--it ain't fiction

Just a natural fact

We come together

Cuz opposites attract

Baby ain't it somethin'

How we lasted this long

You and me

Provin' everyone wrong

Don't think we'll ever

Get our differences patched

Don't really matter

Cuz we're perfectly matched

Rap:

Nothing in common but this trust

I'm like a minus, she's like a plus

One going up, one coming down

But we seem to land on common ground

When things go wrong we make corrections

To keep things moving in the right direction

Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack

It's useless, Opposites Attract

Day 8 - Travel to NOLA - February 2024

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from Zeus and Calliope?s musically inclined son. Founding members include musician/actor Harry Connick, Jr. and his father, Harry Connick, Sr., former New Orleans district attorney. With their first parade in 1994, the Krewe of 700 members established itself as a super Krewe. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The krewe?s throws include a number of sought-after items, including light-up Orpheus medallion beads, three different types of doubloons - Captain's, Krewe, & Musical Legends, four-foot-long stuffed dragons, and their prized throw is a custom decorated tambourine.

Notable floats include the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand. There?s also the Smoking Mary, an eight-unit float that looks like a steam locomotive. And everyone loves the three-unit, 139-foot Orpheus Leviathan Float, the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Over the years, Orpheus monarchs have included Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino, Sandra Bullock, Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, Stevie Wonder, Laurence Fishburne, Forrest Whitaker, Brad Paisley, Anne Rice and Toby Keith.

Unlike many Carnival events which are members-only, visitors are allowed to buy tickets to the black-tie Orpheuscapade, a musical extravaganza after the parade in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Year founded: 1993

Membership: 1500 male and female riders

Number of floats: 38 floats (including tandems)Day 8

Ain't Even Done With the Night - by John Mellencamp

Musically Challenged: Ain't Even Done With the Night - John Mellencamp

Lifetime Dream # 15 of my list of 155: I will learn to play every song on Joe Satriani's self-titled album that was such a tremendous influence on my life. With each song I will delve deeper into my blues roots, and the memories of this album and its influence on my life.

I have referenced this song previously in my 365 Days project, both in 2010 that was strictly dedicated to music and in 2009 as well. This album came out during a very influential time in my life, a period where much change was happening in my soul. I was dying to my past and coming alive to the many passions of music that I had long-since tried to kill off… it was the absolute best year of my life.

This abum is Joe Satriani’s heaviest blues album… it’s one that I think people either love or hate; I’d wager to say that most people who don’t like the album never really listened to the album. That’s how I was at first. I have a gift called Synesthesia where I can see music in color, and this album is one of the most brilliantly and vividly colored albums I have ever heard.

Technically and musically, this is a very difficult album to master. Speed isn’t always the only thing that makes playing difficult… I’ll take it song by song and learn this album… there’s just something about playing music… especially instruments where you are connected to the instrument- where you can feel the music come alive through you… it’s an amazing gift we have received.

I used to love to turn down all of the lights except for a candle or two, and play through some of the slower, more blues-based songs on this album. It was a way to really bring out the feelings associated in the song and made feeling the music all the more real… now that I’m getting my studio space set up again… I look forward to living music again more and more!

You were musically inclined to see all the Musicians for yesterday's "M" word.

Today's "N" word is appropriate as it falls on a day connecting love and hearts. Today's word may take a little time, but this adjective describes the action of our two Lego 'love-birds'. Good luck!

The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]

A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

Day 8 - Travel to NOLA - February 2024

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from Zeus and Calliope?s musically inclined son. Founding members include musician/actor Harry Connick, Jr. and his father, Harry Connick, Sr., former New Orleans district attorney. With their first parade in 1994, the Krewe of 700 members established itself as a super Krewe. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The krewe?s throws include a number of sought-after items, including light-up Orpheus medallion beads, three different types of doubloons - Captain's, Krewe, & Musical Legends, four-foot-long stuffed dragons, and their prized throw is a custom decorated tambourine.

Notable floats include the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand. There?s also the Smoking Mary, an eight-unit float that looks like a steam locomotive. And everyone loves the three-unit, 139-foot Orpheus Leviathan Float, the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Over the years, Orpheus monarchs have included Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino, Sandra Bullock, Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, Stevie Wonder, Laurence Fishburne, Forrest Whitaker, Brad Paisley, Anne Rice and Toby Keith.

Unlike many Carnival events which are members-only, visitors are allowed to buy tickets to the black-tie Orpheuscapade, a musical extravaganza after the parade in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Year founded: 1993

Membership: 1500 male and female riders

Musically Challenged

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.

CAMP BESTIVAL 2013

Camp Bestival has its niche firmly carved out as the premier child-friendly but musically-credible event on the summer calendar, the festival in Dorset has also managed to retain a boutique ambience whilst having a capacity of some 30,000. That said, when it feels like over half of your crowd are in the five to ten age-bracket, maybe you can squeeze a lot more little bodies into the available space.

And it’s a fact that there are children everywhere. Children in pushchairs, children in custom-pimped trollies, children up flagpoles, children weighed down by stacks of 10p deposit pint cups. There are kids crammed against the fence around the jousting arena, kids making clay models and kids sprouting tails. There’s youngsters learning to dance, being entertained by the blue coats and hanging upside-down from the giant Hi De Hi letters on the hill above the Big Top.

Indeed it almost seems to have been an entry-requirement that you brought a toddler or pre-teen with you to get through the gates.

There were still some people without young families in tow this year – but they were in a considerable minority. Fundamentally, Camp Bestival takes the concept of a festival kids’ zone to the limits and still doesn't leave the ‘adult entertainment’ as an afterthought.

...full review at www.virtualfestivals.com/latest/news/14161

This, belatedly, is my first submission to the group Musically Challenged , as well as my first submission to the group Learning Gimp . I used the tutorials in this discussion thread to create the broken mirror effect.

Finally, but perhaps most importantly, this is my commentary mourning the loss of public service journalism - a craft I once hoped I'd spend my entire adult life pursuing -- and the art of civil political discourse.

I had a huge rant prepared about how punditry and pontification have kicked healthy discourse to the curb. But, for once, I hope my image says it all. With all the nastiness going on regarding EVERY critical issue this country faces, is it any wonder that the mirror to our outlook and patriotism has cracked badly? There are people that I love who do not share the same ideals that I do. There are people who love me even though they don't "get" me. But it seems that when those who are competing for ratings, MONEY, votes, or popularity start talking, love and civility go out the window.

It all seems so simple to me: Look at the bald eagle, that great American symbol. Have you ever seen one rise, let alone SOAR, with ONLY a right wing or a left wing?

The people who can make our debates more civil have more power, larger audiences and far more money than I and my simple stream can muster. And they make their livings off the fact that we as a people would rather listen to sound bite mumble jumble rather than searching TOGETHER for truth no matter where it's found.

But for God's sake, maybe someone will pay attention to Stevie. He's been saying it for decades. That mumble jumble - call it hype, call it talking points, call it flat out SUPERSTITION - simply just isn't the way to go.

Superstition

As performed by Stevie Wonder

Very superstitious,

Writing's on the wall,

Very superstitious,

Ladders bout' to fall,

Thirteen month old baby,

Broke the lookin' glass

Seven years of bad luck,

The good things in your past

When you believe in things

That you don't understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition aint the way

Hey

Very superstitious,

Wash your face and hands,

Rid me of the problem,

Do all that you can,

Keep me in a daydream,

Keep me goin' strong,

You don't wanna save me,

Sad is the soul

When you believe in things

That you don't understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition ain't the way,

Yeh, yeh

Very superstitious,

Nothin' more to say,

Very superstitious,

The devil's on his way,

Thirteen month old baby,

Broke the lookin' glass,

Seven years of bad luck,

Good things in your past

When you believe in things

That you don't understand,

Then you suffer,

Superstition ain't the way,

No, no, no

I feel so like *Pimp* using the *F* word and all. LOL - For the Musically Challenged group! Do I look smart in my glasses? I think so. :D

Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?

I've seen those english dramas too

They're cruel

So if there's any other way

To spell the word

It's fine with me, with me

Why would you speak to me that way

Especially when I always said that I

Haven't got the words for you

All your diction dripping with disdain

Through the pain

I always tell the truth

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma

Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?

I climbed to dharamsala too, I did

I met the highest lama

His accent sounded fine

To me, to me

Check your handbook

It's no trick

Take the chapstick

Put it on your lips

Crack a smile

Adjust my tie

Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Why would you lie about anything at all?

First the window, then it's to the wall

Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Check your passport

It's no trick

Take the chapstick

Put it on your lips

Crack your smile

Adjust my tie

Know your butler, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

Why would you lie about anything at all?

First the window, then it's through the wall

Why would you tape my conversations?

Show your paintings

At the united nations

Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Mel's musically😄

I'm not sure yet about life,

about love,

but in time,

im sure....

i'll be fine.

Not Sure Yet - Andy Lange

these feelings have been rolling around me all weekend. i have no idea what's going on, but today has been one of the most shittiest since the beginning of 2010. not only did i have a panic attack during finance class, i was conned into staying later for class, and some other stuff involving a guy friend. I feel a whole lot of anger, bruised feelings, and i just feel like a girl. i hate feeling like a girl! i feel weak! not like its a bad thing i just feel...helpless. but I can control what i do, i can control what bothers me and how they affect me.

I wish i could stay angry, life would be much easier. but... angry brings frowns.

i know, in time I will be fine. but today I realized that I'm just another girl, with feelings, and im not invincible, and you know. i think it's okay to finally hurt. it's just life. I DO miss having someone there for me, to hold me, to tell me it's going to be okay. someone to love me. i think the healing process just began.

great now i have to thank my guy friend.

I just learned the hard news that Gran Turismo Sport, the game that inspired me visually, musically, and spiritually since 2018, will shut down its server in the next week. The game that gave me an eye for beauty and the chance to fall in love with chicago-born music genre that is called House music. In fact, it’s an understatement to call it a video game, it is in every sense an art piece made with the most tasteful of ingredients and masterfully blended by craftsmen at Polyphony Digital. Without it, I wouldn’t have picked up a camera, have MINI cooper as my first car, or even participated in motorcross and road rally event. To this day, I still put up its soundtrack on my road trips, it constantly reminds me of the pure joy and freedom of roaming this planet. I don’t think I can finish writing this post without shedding my tears, but all good things must come to an end, except that it will live on forever in my memories. And I will keep going, to the Le Mans and Nurburgring.

Going through my music collection this evening I found this wonderful track called 'Not About Love' by Fiona Apple. The track reminds me of Regina Spektor, in that it is as creative musically and with wonderfully imaginative lyrics. I was happy to find her. The perfect ending to an already beautiful day.

"Not About Love"

The early cars

Already are

Drawing deep breaths past my door

And last night's phrases

Sick with lack of basis

Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair

That your wicked words should work

In holding me down

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem

Became diologue as a diagram of a play for blood

Took a vacation, my palate got clean

Now I could taste your agenda

While you're spitting your cud

And it doesn't make sense

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture

I have to stare at

That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight

Change the name of the game 'cause he lost

And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late

But I'm not being fair

'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth

But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I've said that he stole

Put 'em in a sack

Swing 'em over my shoulder

Turn on my heels

Step out of this sight

Try to live in a lovelier light

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact i can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

(Fiona Apple)

So I stopped myself mid thought the other day because I caught myself thinking "I just need to get through this" I thought to myself - life will always present some type of challenge and I am going to be waiting my life away.

I do really hope that at some point it will be easier to breathe but in the meantime "let it be"

I need to learn a life lesson from this song!

Oh but hey - since it is a snow day and I worked from home - I was able to sneak a picture in.

For the Musically Challenged Group

Let it Be - The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,

there will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,

there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,

shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.

They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.

In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

Tamara was a musically gifted girl and holder of the Heart Stone. She trained three baby magical animals - Cleo (a unicorn), Sugar (a dragon), and Spike (a panther). In the second season, she got her own zebracorn named Shadowsong.

The one picture ended up being from quite a distance away since I set my camera on something and did the 10-second dash, so I tried to make up for it by upping the sharpness & contrast. Still think it looks kinda cool.

HBM!

For Musically Challenged. Here is me accepting certain inalienable truths. And thinking i ought to leave new York before i get any harder than i am. :)
