I never heard this song before I bought the album it's on (Son of Schmillson). The first time I heard this track, I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. This was back in the '70s, mind you.

My taste in music is somewhat eclectic. Here is the late performance artist Klaus Nomi singing Cold Song from Purcell's 1691 opera King Arthur. Klaus died of aids in 1983. He was only 39.

This ain't no disco... nor psychedelia, it was the perfect antidote at that time.

In the days that I used to fly more than 100K miles a year this song always went through my head during take off. It's still on my ipod reminding me how much I love being home!

I love the original with Steve Perry singing, but I was amazed to hear Journey's new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, hitting those same amazing notes with such power. Check out a classic Journey song re-done with their new lead singer.

The genius of Brian Eno is relevant in this piece here. Creating music that was made to blend into our environment rather than to distract from it. Stripping down music to it's most simplistic form can be enjoyed, without even listening to it. It just blends into our everyday life. Here are two tracks from Music For Airports.

A great song that is very hard for me to listen too. It was written by two of the members of the group Badfinger. Peter Ham and Tom Evans. Peter Ham and Tom Evans both commited suicide. One could not live without the other.:frown1:
