Relaxing

Hi there.

I decided to take a very brief break from blogging about the meaty juiciness that is my life and enjoy the late springtime weather that has recently cropped up here in Connecticut. So for today's post, I leave you a brief selection of videos.

One is from the early 90's band Living Colour. I happened to pick up their c.d. entitled "Stain" a few months ago, and while listening to it in my car this week, I came across this particular track that in today's "enlightened" climate, is about the best song out there that doesn't preach as it makes a point. Please note, there might be an objectionable word or two near the tail end of the song.

If Living Colour isn't your cup of tea, then I have for you one of my favorite summer time songs from the 80's band, The Hooters. No need to tell you the title as it has made a few appearance on my other blog over the years.

Have a fantastic weekend and I will return not quite bright eyed or bushy tailed on Monday, with a short post recapping the recently finished 2014 A-Z Blogging Challenge.

  2. Joey: I most definitely will. The forecast for the weekend just about begs for one to sit outside and become one with the world.

  5. Go enjoy a break! I've been online sporadically the past few days and next weekend I'm just going to enjoy.
    Saw Living Colour on That Metal Show recently. The dudes have been around a long time.

  6. Alex: I intend to.

    The original bassist Doug Wimbish has family here in CT and has done a few shows in the past couple of years.

  8. Lynn: It simply blew me away when I'd first heard it about four years ago. It's how the song should be played, not uptempo like the original.

  9. Enjoy that break! We all need a breather from time to time, especially in the name of good weather. I actually don't remember Living Colour. What rock did I live under in the 90s?

  10. ABFtS: I definitely am enjoying this break.

    They actually sued the Waynon Brothers for copyright infringement early in their career, which is the show is known as "In Living Colour".

    I would say a very soft rock. :D

  11. Congrats on finishing the challenge. I hope you're enjoying your well-deserved blog break. I'm just returning from mine and I'm considering a Reflections post but I'm still so sleepy lol.

    I think I remember Living Colour - "Cult Of Personality", right? I dug that song when I was 10 or 11.

  12. Chris: Thanks and I am.

    10 or 11? Now you're making me feel really, really old. :D

    Yes, "Cult of Personality" was their biggest hit. In fact, they just recently released a remastered version of their debut c.d. "Vivid", complete with a few bonus tracks.
