Now I always liked this song by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I think Crimson and Clover was one of those songs that took a backseat to their most famous song. Do you remember what the name of that song was? If you said I Love Rock N’ Roll; then you would be correct! Don’t get me wrong, I love the song I Love Rock n’ Rolland it was one I listened to many times. It’s the song I think of first when I think about the lady of rock n’ roll Joan Jett. It wasn’t until I went to a Atlanta Thrashers hockey game a few years back; when I really got a chance to hear the song Crimson and Clover. A concert late at night after a hockey game and hearing this song sung by the famous Joan Jett, just put you in a setting like you were some where else. It was on this night when I really fell in love with this song.

Just recently I saw a movie on TV and this song Crimson & Cloverwas played during a big climax in the movie. It was a perfect touch for that movie and I remember that scene very well. I really miss the songs from the 1980′s and often I will watch channel 6008 on Dishnetwork satellite, because this is one of the Sirius music channels and they play nothing but 80′s music here. They also offer music channels for other decades of music like the 1950′s, 1960′s, 1970′s and I believe they have one for the 1990′s now. It’s hard to believe that 2010 is already here and music has changed so much over the last 60 years.

Did you grow up during the 1980′s? Please feel free to share some of the songs you liked from the 80′s decade and do you remember some of these songs that got played on the radio back in the 1980′s generation:

I could go on and on with all the great music from the 1980′s decade. I’m sure you know a few of the songs above and for people that were in high school during the 1980′s generation; will know a lot of these songs well. I know going to the local skating rink and hearing these songs or a song like I love Rock N’ Roll by Joan Jett or Hurts So Good by John Cougar Mellancamp are just a couple of those songs that can take us back down memory lane again. I treasure the songs from the 80′s singers and bands. A lot of good music got made back then and it seem the lyrics is what made them so good. Today’s music is more about the music than the actual lyrics and I guess that’s why I’m not a big fan of modern music. I do try to stay hip and keep up with the latest artists coming out, but put the radio dial in my hand and we will be listening to the songs from the 1980′s generation. Feel free to name a few popular songs you remember from the 1980′s and which song or songs stick out in your head. I’m sure Joan Jett and the Blackhearts has to make most people’s top 10 list; when they look back on the great songs from this period in music.

I’m still living in the past just a bit. I thought Ms. Pac Man was the latest video game out. I was a big fan of Dig Dug, Pitfall, Donkey Kong, and some of those other games you could get on the Atari. Of coarse you had Pac-Man that was big and everyone loves Pac Man. As much as I like the video game Pac Man, I think Ms. Pac Man was a much better game. It seems she could move faster and this was important for eating those dots and getting to those energizers when you needed them. Pac Man is a game that will still be around decades from now. I know the one most video game users like to play these days is Guitar Hero. I have heard that the adults like this game as much as the kids do. You know you have made a good video game; when the parents won’t let the children play it. I’m not sure how the new DJ video game will do, but it seems to be directed at the hip hop crowd or those that like rap music.

After all these years the Wall by Pink Floyd is one of those videos that people still like to watch. It’s been a few years since I have seen it, but would like to watch it again. Pink Floyd has a lot of good songs and their music has survived through the years. You use to see their movie playing on television a lot. I noticed they were coming on pretty regularly on the TV music channels in the USA. Perhaps it’s still gets played heavily on the television channels outside the U.S..

What is your favorite Pink Floyd song? Another Brick in the Wall would be my favorite Pink Floyd song. However, there is at least a half dozen others that I like very well too. The Wall is a bit confusing to some and may be hard to understand, but once you learn the pattern of the movie and the story it is trying to tell, it is a good movie to watch.

Other bands and singers have did movie videos too. Most of them don’t ever produce a video that is as great as the Wall was and this has been the industry standard for many years now. I’m not sure if Pink Floyd is still touring or if they plan to do any future concerts. A Pink Floyd concert tour would be huge in the United States now. The music concerts have slipped a bit in recent years and a band like Pink Floyd could change that fast with an announcement of a future concert tour. I guess we will have to wait and see if Pink Floyd does plan to go on tour anytime soon and in the meantime, we can watch The Wall by Pink Floyd on video.

How many satisfied DSL users are out there right now? There is probably a lot; because the old way of doing things with dial-up technology was just too slow and DSL rescued a lot of computer and internet users. Sticking in your favorite video to watch from your computer screen or playing the online games that have tons of graphics was not really possible with dial-up. DSL users can now do those things and it’s a far cry from the slow page loads and having to wait hours for files to download with the dial-up service.

Now we fast forward to 2009 and Charter is unveiling the Phatband for a speedy internet connection. Is it faster than my DSL service? You bet! It makes your current DSL look like the dial up from the 1990′s and Phatband is going to be the way of the future. Actually the future has already arrived for those living in the St. Louis area, because they are already zooming around the World Wide Web with their Charter Phatband connections. You can learn a lot more about this fast internet service Charter is offering from their Ultra60 Information Page.

Are you ready to step up to a faster connection and give the brand new Phatband a try? I know I sure am and I wished they would have started this great new service in Atlanta; instead of St. Louis. It seems the guys from the cable industry are advancing the technology so much faster than the DSL guys. At least when it comes to the technology of speed and everyone that has ever used a computer for any length of time, knows how important a fast computer or fast internet connection is. You can waste a lot of time surfing the Net with a slow computer and it makes life so much easier having that speed.

Watching movies and videos is popular on the computer these days and the new Ultra60 Mbps is going to help these folks a lot. It’s going to make downloading large files a snap. These super high speeds will also be good for telecommuting with mega-files and the list goes on and on for all the things extra you can do from more speed. Uploading pictures at Facebook or watching videos at You Tube will be a breeze. Twitter is another popular online website that won’t give you any troubles with the faster speeds. You can even send Charter a tweet if you want at Charter’s Twitter Feed. I think I would view a lot more videos online, if my internet speed was faster. Can you think of anything you would do more of if you computer suddenly was faster than what it is now? The dedicated gamers that stay up all night playing games will love the new Phatband from Charter and all the possibilities they will have for gaming online.

Charter’s commitment to providing their customers with the fastest internet speeds is about to come true. We will all be able to multitask like we never have before and this is only the start to all the power we will have with our internet connections blazing fast! They are rolling it out now and this new Ultra60 Mbps service will be available in other parts of the country later this year.

It seems a bit harsh and we need to look at ways to make it easier on everyone instead of harder. I realize this takes money out of the hands of the music companies and performers, but these guys make more money than they should. They are amongst the upper class in our society and for them to take a pay cut is better than the poor man having to pay for their products.

I think users should have the ability to download songs for free online or go to YouTube and snag a real video or song. It just makes things easier and we need a society that is geared more to helping than charging people. We get “nickel” and “dimed” enough already and it’s time we start looking at free ways to do things. Everyone can still make money and be happy if music is available for free online. The music we hear in our ears everyday should not be another bill that we have to pay each month.

Digital TV has made it impossible to watch free TV now and the only thing left for free is the music on our radios. I don’t think it will stay free much longer on the direction we are heading right now. Let’s help fight for music and keep it free for everyone and give the poor man a hand.

Dolphin Bubbles at Sea World in Florida

What did you think?

You can see and discuss more about this at dolphin bubbles. A great website that allows people that love or have an interest in dolphins to voice their opinions and there is also a lot of great dolphin pictures that can be found here too. I was amazed to see these dolphins blowing bubbles out of their air holes and judging by other people’s comments, I wasn’t the only one.

Dolphins seem like creatures that do have a great personality. It’s no surprise that once they blow these amazing bubbles, they will go play with them too. I’m not sure how they can blow such perfect air bubbles like this, but it is very fascinating to watch. I would love to go to the Orlando area and see one of these dolphin shows. Judging by the video, it would appear that you can get an underwater view of these smart and beautiful animals. I hope we can continue to learn more about dolphins and protect them in the wild too. Dolphins are one animal that do seem to be a friend to humans.

During the cold months of the year or on rainy days people can still fish, thanks to the video game industry. It is pretty fun to play the different video games that are about fishing. I don’t often like the sports video games, but the fishing and baseball games are pretty fun. Fishing Master World Tour is a good fishing video game that I think most anglers would enjoy playing. It takes a little time to see what works best with these video games, but getting the chance to choose where you fish and what type of bait to use is fun. If you like to go fishing in real life; then you would probably enjoy the video games like Fishing Master World Tour and others that feature fishing.

You can find Fishing Master World Tour at Buy.com and there aren’t any shipping fees to pay for getting the game delivered to you. I often go to Buy.com where I can look for anything that might be on sale and see if I can find any good bargains. I ran across the fishing video game when I was there today and thought I would pass along the information. I’m not sure where World Tour ranks with the other fishing games out there, but I’m sure it’s one of the better ones. Perhaps you can recommend other video games about fishing and I will give them a try one day. The video game isn’t as fun as real fishing, but it is something you can do when you can’t be at the lake trying to hook the big one.

Two great songs by this British band that call theirself Oasis. They use to be called The Rain and later changed their name to Oasis. The album that featured both of these great songs was the 3rd largest selling album in the UK. Champagne Supernova went to number 1 in the U.S. and both songs did very well no matter what side of the pond you were on.

So which song do you like the best? Please be sure to reply back with which Oasis song you like hearing the most. Did you forget these songs existed? They don’t play them on the radio much these days and I’m sure a lot of people have forgotten about these 2 songs by Oasis. It sure does bring back memories listening to them again and I may have to check out some of their newer stuff and see if it is any good too.
