The Movie in My Head

A friend often uses the term "The Movie in My Head" to describe a event that they picture theirself in. So here goes: ""The Movie in My Head has me singing and singing and singing "Human" by The Killers to 25/8 ERIN.""
Listen to a few bars on Itunes.

Prince's New Web Site

Prince launched a intergalactic Wed site, LOtUSFLOW3R.com,offering his die hard fans a year's worth of access to manifestations of his creative genius, including early access at his new, at-times-terrific triple-titled triple album for....$77. But before you can sign up you have to figure out how to get past the front page (no instructions), you have to find two clues on the page.
Once you're registered your treasure hunt continues requiring you to find three new albums, "LOtUSFLOW3R" "MPLSoUND" and a new protege project "Elixer"
All you Prince fan should check it out !!

Sugarland

Jennifer and Kristan really rocked the WTTW studios last night performing for their Soundstage digital taping on PBS Soundstage later this year.
The concert lasted about 2 hours with short stops to change the digital tapes.
Jennifer is the bomb! She has so much energy and she never stopped dancing. Kristan had a lot of play with the audience and the two sang about 15 of their popular songs. Of course "Stay" was the favorite but I really liked "It Happens."
"Down in Mississippi" really rocked and was Dope !!
Sugarland will be touring with Kenny Chesney this summer and will be at Soldier Field June 13th. CHECK IT OUT !!!

SUGARLAND Tonight

Tonight I'll be at the Sugarland taping at WTTW for broadcast on Soundstage later this year. Check out their new hit "It Happens." It is dope !!

For "Prince" Fans

In case you missed Wednesday and Thursday night of Leno, Prince rocked both nights and will finish the week with Leno tonight ! Still got the moves (like me, I wish) and great guitar.

Reba's Benefit Concert

Photo's by Marc Baptiste

The " Queen of Country" Reba McEntire was at her best Saturday Night at the Sear's Centre Benefit Concert held for the "Teachers,Coaches and Students Foundation." The nonprofit foundation was formed by former students of Coach Richard Carlini a retired Maine West HS wrestling coach who suffers from AVM (ArterioVenous Malformation).

Reba heard about their efforts and wanted to help, so she teamed up with her mentor and country music legend, Red Steagall, to raise money for Coach Carlini.

Red opened the show with several of the songs he wrote and told several funny stories about his Texas home. Red has his own myspace at www.myspace.com/redsteagall . It's worth a visit.

Reba, who has recorded 33 #1 hits was FABULOUS !!

Reba thrilled the audience with her great duet hit with Kelly Clarkson, "Because of You". She told about her childhood and dedicated a song to her sisters called "My Sister." A few other hits, "I'm a Survivor" and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" brought standing ovations. Reba has quite a few dance moves that she displayed during her concert too!!

What a NIGHT !! Thanks REBA !!

Talkin' about music in movies!

So I went and saw "Watchmen." It was great. During the movie I heard a song which is really great too. It's called "Hallelujah" song by the Legendary Leonard Cohen. The movie gives new meaning to the song. Check it out !!
