ABC has done a great job not only in these videos but also in the music selections for their shows. If you watch and listen closely the way they integrate the music into the television shows is amazing. Grey's Anatomy is the master of this! I remember one scene in which Meridith had to remove a bomb out of someone and the lyrics perfectly matched the scene.
Can you tell I am excited about premier week!! My only disappointment thus far is that the cable was having issues last night and I missed the first episode of Chuck!!
I saw the touring production of Rent this evening. I have seen the show in New York as well as the movie but I enjoyed seeing it this time as much as I did the first time! Only one disappointment - the two actors that played Mark and Roger left a little to be desired. I can't remember if I have made this comment before but as I was a music major - it is hard for me to enjoy a show like the majority of the population. I instinctively judge the performances rather than sit back and enjoy. On the flip side of the coin, I have the privilege to really enjoy the performances of some really talented actors. The actors who portrayed Angel and Maureen were very good. The actress who portrayed Mimi - stole the show - man she was good.
It was a great show! I am so glad to be somewhere that provides access to these types of performances - right down the road from my house. How awesome is that!
Truth be told I am not a beer drinker...but I love the message of this song. Forgive the cheesy You Tube slide show but the band never made this one into a video. It's too bad...it could have been a good one.
Without further ado (I guess that is how you spell that)... Shut Up and Smile by Bowling for Soup.
I really like this song but I just can't figure out what it means. Does anyone have a clue? Maybe I am just missing something...
When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?" He said "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?" Because one day I leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join the black parade."

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets. When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on, We'll Carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on Carry on We'll carry on And in my heart I cant contain it The anthem wont explain it.
And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to To carry on We'll carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on
And on we carry through the fears Ooh oh ohhhh Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh Take a look at me cause I could not care at all Do or die You'll never make me Cause the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me Want it all, I'm gonna play this part Wont explain or say i'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only.. I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I -- don't -- care Carry on We'll carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry We'll carry on
The first post on my blog provided the explanation for the title of the blog - I'm Not Opinionated. My disclaimer was there. I wasn't sure if this was an accurate statement or not. Well, I have been reading a few of my posts and have come to the conclusion that a better title would have been I'm Not Obstinate because I obviously have some opinions!
This blog serves two purposes. The first being to keep in touch with my family and friends. The second is hopefully to elicit discussion around my opinions. This is the best part of blogging! From discussion comes understanding. Let's discuss!
