That’s the type of revolution greedy corporate types understand. Just ask GoDaddy, when many thousands of accounts jumped ship when it was made public that GoDaddy supported the hated SOPA/PIPA bills. GoDaddy has since changed it’s tune.

Look, I’m all for punishing people who commit crimes. Copyright infringement is wrong. What I’m against is censorship and violation of freedom of speech. I’m against heavy-handed foreign policy. I’m against corporate bullying.

So today I bring you music from The Beatles, Revolution, a song which I feel is appropriate for today. Here’s to freedom!

I remember vividly the Glass Spider tour I had the privilege of attending in 1987. David Bowie is amazing live. He puts on the best shows and just captivates his audience. This is one of my favorite classic rock songs of all time with an older David Bowie performing it with such style and class.

I believe there are infinitely more good people in this world…A little misguided perhaps, sometimes, but inherently good.
That’s why I picked this song today. There are miracles all around us. Even the fact that I can post this video and have it play from my blog…yes, it’s a miracle!

It relaxes me and puts me in a really mellow mood. I’ve always liked his lyrics too. This particular song means a lot to me right now…I guess because I’m “Learning to Fly” ;) Enjoy!

But Guns N’ Roses also deserves a spot on this blog for the amazing classic rock they have contributed to the world, don’t you agree?

We partied many nights listening to Def Leppard. Oh yes, this band really rocks and was one of the better ones to emerge in those times. Here’s a great video of their ’83 hit “Photograph”. Hope you enjoy!

I love this version of Colin’s huge hit and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I found this brilliant and rare footage of Pat Benatar performing the title song of her debut album “In the Heat of the Night” released in 1979. This is a great video, I think. Enjoy!
