Dimebag and Lennon Remembered

On December 8th 2004, Darrell Lance Abbott was shot dead at a gig in Columbus, Ohio aged just 38 years old. Today six years on, he is still touching and inspiring people through his music. 

On December 8th 1980, John Winston Ono Lennon was shot dead dead in the entrance to The Dakota in New York aged just 40 years old. Today thirty years on, he is still inspiring people through his life and music.

Today, we should all raise a glass in memory of what legends these two are and know that they will continue to inspire people for years to come! 

Random Music

Ok, so since Sunday for some unknown reason I have been getting a different random song stuck in my head every day. I understand that getting a song stuck in your head is a common thing and happens to many people (if it didn't musicians wouldn't sell many records) but I've never known it to happen with songs I've not listened to recently. The thing I find more bizarre is that so far they're songs I haven't heard for literally years and there seems to be no link to the song and anything that has been happening in or around my life. Anyone who knows me will be aware that although I listen to a wide range of music I tend to spend most of my time listening to metal and synth based music. However so far the songs I've been getting stuck in my head have been those of which I would generally not listen to. 


Sunday it was "Peaches" by Presidents of the United States of America,
Monday it was "Your Song" by Elton John,
And today it was "Clementine" by Mark Owen.
