Bob Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"
This is a song that I have loved for many years in many forms. There’s the album version on “Highway 61 Revisited” (1965) and then there’s the version on “No Direction Home” which is also pretty amazing in a different key. I want to have a quick look at what I think this song means and honestly, I want to have a look at how the song sounds. I think there’s enough critical analysis on deeper meanings in Bob Dylan’s lyrics for you to check out by people who have, to Bob Dylan’s own dismay, studied him for fifty or so years. My reviews on Bob Dylan are purely for entertainment purposes. Why? The poetics are great, the lyrics are amazing and wild, the song sounds good and his singing voice is seriously underrated.

Everyone has those favorite playlists of songs which helps them keep their focus, spikes their adrenaline, or makes them ride the wave of the beat and push themselves in work, studies, or whatever their motivating and prepping themselves for. Wether a test for school, studying for classes, cutting time on daily walks, runs, jogs, or getting ready for game day. Or sometimes it is that favorite meditation or yoga playlist for daily routines.
Ruby EstellePublished 3 years ago in BeatMy Childhood Celebrity Crush
We can all remember that we have had a number of celebrity crushes in our lifetime. We can face it that some of them we have completely forgot as time has passed us by growing up in life’s movements. Like who was the very first one that we ever had? Can some of us even remember? At first I couldn’t. I had various different favorite musical artists while I was growing up that I would idolize. Some of them being The Hanson Brothers, Green Day, Amy Grant, Hilary Duff, Switch foot, Eminem, Reliant K, and so many more I would play on the radio growing up. If I had their CD or CD containing their music I would play it on replay singing along.

I was born in 1995, and I have a wide variety of favorite music. From the 20s to the 2000s. The music of the 50s makes me feel alive differently like I am going back in time in an era I’ve never been. Then again, who doesn’t like the classic older music? Especially jazz and rock and roll playing in the background of a movie, bars and some casinos.

Returning to base as a prominent producer within his own territory, John Course steps forward once again with another Chart topping, club focussed track. Taking in his surmountable years at the helm of the Australian scene, it is clear to see that his inspiration and drive remain resilient, even during these enduring times without traditional clubs or the energy of a dancefloor we all dearly miss.

In the decade of the new millennium, This band rode the wave in from a major music benefactor that found them to splash onto shore. But sadly, the wave they rode just dispersed onto land and seeped through the sand with a short lived span as their music fell into obscurity.

Photo by badgreeb RECORDS As musicians themselves, the parents of Classic Rock Icon Gary Puckett made sure their children grew up in a home where music was often played and listened to. His dad played the sax and sang in Barbershop Quartets, and his mom was an accomplished piano player who taught students at home. But the American dream they aspired to for their children didn’t involve all the uncertainty a musician’s life can have. Being the good son, Puckett attended San Diego City College, where he enrolled as a psyche student. Essentially unable to repress his true calling, he left the unconscious to others and followed the inescapable pull toward performing.

Jason JamesPublished 3 years ago in BeatChris Carter—Kansas City’s New Hope?
Tell us about you: My name is Chris Eaddy and my Artist name is Chris Carter I am from Louisville, KY but currently based in Kansas City, MO. What makes me different as a person is that I'm me a hundred percent of the time . No matter who i’m around I don’t lose myself nor will I be anyone else to make someone else happy. I grew up like many other people, dad not around, single mom and Army brat life so I moved around a lot . All of that makes me seem relatable to people which as an Artist that’s what you want but it’s also what has individualized me . I don’t hold all of the same values and outlooks on life as the people I tend to be around. The life I lived made me want to go a different route, to live more boldly not get trapped in the status quo. I don’t want to be defined or put into a box. I want to create music that feeds me and hopefully others I don’t want to be bound by a label that someone else created. What do I want to accomplish in life…. What’s funny is that even from a young age we’re asked a variation of this question this complex but oddly simple question. I think as people we’re all headed for the same basic accomplishments, happiness , generational wealth ( so we can stop the perpetuation of systemic poverty) and a fulfilled life . Who’s to say how we get there though, we’re kinda just along for the ride. As of right now the car taking me on that ride is my music which I want to get miles on. I want to accomplish all that I can with music because this is my passion. In five years, I’d like to be a household name. I see myself with my wife and two boys actually living life and no longer surviving. I see us living wherever my wife has inevitably spent the last five years researching and planning while I tour . I’d love to be touring through Europe showing my family the world. I also want to have other business ventures going such as a clothing line and whatever else comes my way. What I bring to the music world is realness, I’m giving people what they need, what I need . I’m not always going to put something out that is a club song just because that’s what's hot right now. I’m not writing music for anyone but myself the songs that I put out are songs that are me, they are parts of me that I didn’t know until I wrote it down. Music literally uncovers who I am, daily I’m always surprising myself . I don’t put on a front with my music; what you see is what you get . I’m not going to speak on something that I'm not actually living.
Jason JamesPublished 3 years ago in BeatBritney Spears: The Next Showbiz Casualty?
Before I say anything here, I want to make one thing clear. All of the points mentioned in this article are all speculation based on what has been released on the internet by those closely involved with the life of Britney Spears, as well as statements made by Britney Spears herself. Any beliefs I make in this article are purely my personal opinion based on what is available to me. I don’t claim to know anything more than anyone else. I have no first-hand knowledge of Britney Spears personal life and cannot prove anything to be fact or speculation. So please, don’t take what I have to say in this article as an attack on those involved closely with this situation, or as a pass to attack those involved or try to intervene with any court proceedings involving Britney Spears; such as hacking into virtual court rooms or anything like that. This only adds to the problem when what we really need to do is focus on how we can be part of the solution. My only intention like with any of my articles I’ve written and will continue to write about the lives of celebrities is simply to start a conversation, not gossip, but a constructive conversation that might lead us to something good in the end. With that, on with the article.
