I know, I know...I'm awful. I skipped the weekend countdown. Honestly I thought about it both days, but just didn't get up the give-a-shit to do it. So I'll make it up to you today by catching up with those songs.
We are gonna work our way up in awesome rockness.
Bye Bye Blackbird by Joe Cocker
But we're gonna start off slow with a good bluesy tune. This song reminds me of what childhood should be, or was. Like when my dad was a kid in the 50's. When a good Sunday was sitting in the backyard chasing bubbles. After school you didn't watch tv, because there were only three stations and your parents watched them. Kids actually played with each other and got out of the house and did stuff. We are so lazy these days. Even in the 80's and 90's teens would go hang out at the mall, but with online shopping that's way cheaper there is no point in going to the mall, unless it's an emergency or an absolute necessity that you can only find at the mall (which is ridiculous, you can get anything online). I feel like in a way the generations now are completely fucked. By the time I want to retire there will be no social security and I highly doubt I'll have a pension. It sounds like a really bad thing. People will have to work until they are practically dead. At the same time, the people who got this country started didn't have pensions and social security. It wasn't even a thing then! They were self-starters, motivated, financially savvy. Future generations will have to channel these kinds of people and become them. No one is going to help them survive. I'm not one to predict what will happen with any type of accuracy, but it seems pretty legitimate that the baby boomers are going to clean out social security. Thanks. At the same time, the government hasn't really protected it the way they should have. Dipping into it for this, that and the other. Shame on you! Why the hell am I paying into something I'll never even get to have!
Don't Speak by No Doubt
Not a lot to say, but glad the 90's fashion is over. It really rears its ugly head in this video.
No One Knows by Queens Of The Stone Age
Gotta love Dave Grohl! This song just has a straight up funky beat that makes you want to jam.
Coming Down by Five Finger Death Punch
Here is an extra as an apology for missing the weekend. I know that it just screwed all of you up on the inside something fierce. This song is hardcore along with it's video. I'd say it even has some controversial imagery. But that's what music is all about. I love the animated portion! It's so bitchin! Never underestimate the power that one person has to change everything by just not walking away from a strange circumstance. Remember, no one (who is a gamer) in their right mind would give away their gaming system unless it was completely busted (even then).
Check out other Five Finger Death Punch, they have a good sound.
Good news! My art professor from college finally responded and she still has my art portfolio! I've been thinking about taking some art classes at Univ of Co Denver and this will help me.
Not much longer and I'll be back to my normal, rambling, deep thinking self. It's almost August after all.
Stagnantly,
