Music Monday

Oh...my...god. It's insane how amazing this song is. They sound just as good today, well, 2007, as they did in '75. And Bonzo's son does a great job sitting in.

Merry Christmas

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Eat lots of food, open lots of gifts and please remember those who are unable to be with friends and family.

One of the best Christmas songs of all time. You can't listen to it and not sing along.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

This past Friday marked the 71 anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor. One of the ships that was destroyed in the attack was the battleship USS Oklahoma. On board the Oklahoma was a young man by he name of James Richard Ward who had only enlisted in the Navy a little more than a year before. When the attack happened, the Oklahoma was hit by three torpedoes and began to list dangerously. It quickly became apparent that she would capsize. The order was given to abandon ship. However, Ward stayed in his turret holding a flashlight so his fellow sailors could escape. He didn't make it out.
