Woodstock

History was not only recreated, but also significantly enhanced, on August 12, 13, and 14 at the Woodstock 1994 festival held in Saugerties, NY. 30+ bands: every single one played their hearts out and put on great performances. The movie is a bit long and kind of boring but it was a very historical event.

Trans Siberian orchestra

The trans Siberian orchestra is one of the most innovative and awesome orchestras that you can go see today. I'm getting an opportunity to go see them this winter break and I can't wait. There music and sounds are incredible. I'm super pumped to go see them and I'm sure it'll be one of the most fun concerts I've been to.

Johnny cash

Johnny Cash – the man, the artist, the legend – might be the ultimate paradox, a barrel of incongruities that seems to be driven by unsolvable conflicts that always set him apart from the flock, who never entirely dismissed him. I enjoy his music and voice for the most part there are some songs that are kind of in pleasing but yeah he's good.

The sun and the moon

"The Sun and the Moon Complete" is an excellent double-disc album, featuring catchy beats and words filled with terrific angst from the lead vocalist - it's gonna be hard to hate if you enjoy what you hear from the very first track. The Bravery is an American based rock band from New York City (see Emanuel and the Fear). They've currently been active for 7 years and have released 3 albums for Island Records within that time. I enjoy listening to these guys and it almost make me want to sleep but like in a good way if you know what I mean.

Beatles White album

You could say that this album, with the quantity and range of songs it offers, provides something for everyone. I think a better way of looking at it is that it provides everything for someone. It may not be as consistent (or safe) as some of their other work, but over the course of two albums it provides a listening experience unparalleled in the history of popular music. I think this album has alot to offer to the listeners and I personally enjoyed myself listening to this album.

Willie Nelson

He is a national icon in the country music world. His uncanny talent and love for his music is why so many people love him so much. I personally do enjoy his music, I think he has a great voice. He has his own kind of swag. Nelson has been a fixture of the American music scene for as long as any living and touring musician, making his recorded debut in 1956. Willie Nelson has been in an inspiration to artists everywhere. He really doesnt give a shit and thats something that I love about him.
