Had a great day today, marred somewhat by the sad death of the drummer of the Band-Levon Helm was his name-he was one of rock & roll's Good Guys-always there and ready to lend a helping hand to those in need or who were lost. Along with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd-extending all the way to such compadres and desperadoes as far-reaching as the Hooters, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Wilco,
My Morning Jacket and the Drive-by Truckers, the Band pioneered a style of Rock known as Roots Rock
-known as Americana and Alt-Country in other parts depending on when and where you listened. Regardless, it is good organic music for the heart and soul. Mr. Helm will never be forgotten by me!
Rock in Peace, Levon! The most unique rock drummer ever! In honor of Mr. Helm, the Four Classic Rock Songs That I Heard today were Up on Cripple Creek by the Band, In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel,
Take It Easy by the Eagles and Hell's Bells by AC/DC. Levon Helm, I Salute You!
Madonna Song of the Day-Hollywood from I'm Going to Tell You a Secret-Lyric quote from
Lady Ciccone/Peron/Simpson-"Everybody comes to Hollywood/They wanna make it in the neighborhood/They like the smell of it in Hollywood/How could it hurt you when it looks so good?"
-Yes, Madonna has mixed feelings about stardom, celebrity and fame but she wouldn't have it any other way because when it comes to functions and awards time, The Lady Handles Her Life with Dignity, Beauty and Grace. To Madonna, Ooh La La You're My Superstar-I Love What You Are!
