Fighting for Something

Elton John - My Father's Gun

My Fathers Gun - Elton John

This song is so emotionally charged and so well written. It really makes me think of the lost values of this nation; of the world. There was a time when people fought... to the death... for what they believe in. These days of self-centeredness and cowardly behavior are taking their toll. The television tells us what to believe. We are pawns. There is no more honor. Not until we get mad about what irritates us and stop settling for less... This song was about the civil war and how the man in this song, instead of giving up after his father's death, decides to take his father's gun and defend his honor. He defends his honor against those that are willing to KILL his beliefs. THAT, my people, is lost. These days, there aren't alot of true beliefs. In my opinion, most beliefs people could throw in my face are shallow.What happened? We conformed. We were in trouble and instead of taking action we ran. To the government. To our television sets to watch the news for a good idea of what to do. To everyone else. Everyone else told you to put your FAITH and TRUST in them and now, we are controlled. It would be a day that would live forever when the people realize their strength... "There's fighting there and the company needs men..."

Heroes (Brad Pitt)

Did you know Brad Pitt used to be an El Pollo Loco Chicken? Crazy right?

Well, as we all know, he is far from standing outside and waving at cars to get them to purchase tacos. Now he's worth $150,000,000 dollars on his bad days. An admirable trait of this dude is his bravery. I don't know of many people who've had the all out BALLS to live this guy's life. Growing up in Missouri and dropping out of the University of Missouri weeks before graduation aren't necessarily the images in one's head when thinking of the infamous Tyler Durden. I admire his courage, style, and perseverance. As an actor and producer, he's done wonderful and memorable work.

Whaduyalove?

Heroes (Alicia Keys)

I recently read an old article in Giant Magazine from 01/08 with Alicia Keys. I have always had a fondness for her music, acting, and, without question, her looks. She has been an inspiration for me as a musician and has shaped a large portion of what I think beauty is. Now, I get to add another piece to the puzzle that is "Alicia's Influence." Her perseverance.

In the article, she was telling the writer, Celia San Miguel, how she reached a point in her career where she was EXHAUSTED. Her creative intellect began to suffer as well as her interraction with family and friends. It was all because of constant strain on her mind. Constant strain on her body. Constantly working on different projects and tirelessly dealing with everyone all the time. The hardest part seems to be that all the exhaustion and frustration was kept underneath. Keys tells Miguel, "I started burying any feelings and it got to a point where I couldn't even tell my family or my friends, 'I'm twisted' or 'I'm exhausted,' or 'I'm so angry.'" That speaks to many who not only deal with being in the spotlight, yet, everyone who has anything going for themselves. Later in the article, she explains that she had to take her time and literally stare at the pyramids so that she could realize she could do anything. ANYTHING. Going from torn up to being on top of the charts again is the type of example that needs to be set. The type of characteristic that is associated with a role model. I take my hat off to the lovely, Alicia Keys.
