RIP Maurice.

Ran across this Leon Russell clip from the old 'Shindig' a 60's tv music program. I knew his music from the '60's -'70's but I've never seen him without a long hair & beard. He can still rock the ivories:

One of my top 5 Elton John songs. Unless you've ever had kids of your own you wouldn't understand. A very emotional song for me.

New school. Skip to 2:00 if you don't think you can make it that far.

Classic song....

But the Donnie Hathaway rendition is the one that gives me chills up the spine. Man that guy could sing a ballad. RIP, DH.

Here's a young buck that did a contemporary cover for American Idol a few years back.

And now for something completely different:

This is the ultimate song to listen to on the way to or from forks. I spent a week camping with my dog this summer and this song pretty much summed up my adventures of young adulthood. I gave a kayaker a ride from to his rig the day I was planning on leaving and he slipped me a couple xtra bucks because I told him about my nature mission. My dog and I spent a few more days than expected out there, and it was a time of my life I'll remember forever. We took the time to see just about everything there is to see on the OP. I lived off cliff bars, whole milk and summer steelhead. Fido had just about as much fish as I did. I played this song over and over as I drove along lake crescent on the way home, all spent from the awesomeness.


I'll throw in some pics from the trip:

Can't stand that track. HATE Eddie Vedder's voice and that album for Into the Wild was horrible.

I used to not like him before that song. I usualy hate the shakey voice. The song being on the into the wild soundtrack had nothing to do with me liking that song. That youtube vid was the only one that wasnt an into the wild music vid.

I actually liked it (the soundtrack)---but that would be my opinion-not that I always need to share it

I forgot how to put the Youtube video into the post --but here is the link for song of the week..

Cracker_It Aint Gonna Suck Itself

JGrizzle, I for one dug it. The camp fire pic reminds me of our annual springer trip.

Very nice. And besides I love the into the wild sound track.

This song doesn't necessarily reflect my own beliefs, but it has a good apacolyptic feel to it. I enjoy it. It makes you wonder how some people view the future of the world. What if a golden ladder doesn't come down? What have we done?
