I had a topic I was going to write about up until about one minute ago. I guess I will save that story for next week.

I was at my parent’s house earlier today for my dad’s 61st birthday and it got me thinking about the musical influence he has had on me over the years and the bond that we have through music.

There are a lot of different ways I have developed my love of music over the years. I have written about the influence my college roommate had on me. I have had other friends and acquaintances turn me on to different types of music over the years. I have read about artists in magazines and on the internet. Through dumb luck I have stumbled upon really cool bands over the years in bars, clubs and arenas. There are just a lot of things that have shaped the way I look at music today and I am pretty grateful for all of those things.

The Eagles – In The City

I am not a huge Eagles fan but I do like what Joe Walsh brought to the table when he joined the Eagles. “In The City” is my favorite song from “The Long Run” and might be my overall favorite song of the Eagles. Great guitar work from Walsh on this cut.

As I grow older in my life, I find that my personal time for myself seems to get less and less my own. Work, friends, and family obligations get in the way of personal time, outward growth and entertainment. I guess it’s growing up and working for the weekend; I get too drunk on Saturday after soaring with the eagles all week long. But my goal this year is to get out to a few concerts. Of course I am going to see KISS this summer (8/9/2010 at the Indiana State Fair) but my personal goal this summer is to get out and see some shows, of artist, that I need to see, but haven’t seen yet.

You may wonder who these artists are, well, I don’t know, and that’s my point. This summer is the summer of taking back my life and finding new music and new artist. I tend to focus my attention on established bands and classic sounds, like The Who, Zeppelin, Kiss, and many other great-classic bands. And don’t get wrong, I do like newer bands too, like the White Stripes, Band of Horses, Pete Yorn, KOL, and many others, just to name a few. But what I am going to give to myself a treat this year, and that treat is getting to know some really great Indie musical artist that I haven’t found the time for over the last few years.

Check out this unusual pairing of the Beastie Boys and Elvis Costello doing the Costello classic “Radio Radio” from Saturday Night Live.

The church, or hate group, known for picketing the funerals of deceased homosexuals and military men and women; the Westboro Baptist Church, plans on attending the funeral of Ronnie James Dio. All I want to know is what did Dio ever do to you? Besides writing songs about slaying demons and riding tigers. I figured the “fag haters” would be OK with this. Oh, and by the way their website is godhatesfags.com, hence my use of the word. I’ve attached the pamphlet they are distributing as well as a link to the article on NME.com.
