The city fathers of Nashville have lost their collective minds it seems. They are trying to make the honky tonks on Broadway turn down the music so it will not disturb the yuppies that have moved into the condos downtowns far as I am concerned the music as playing loud when they moved there and it is something they either need to learn to deal with or the best option is MOVE somewhere else where the music is not as loud. This to me is like some one buying a house near the airport and then complaining that the planes are to loud, as I said deal with it or move.

IPOD
For my birthday I received a new ipod and I love it. I have always wanted one of these sleek little music players and now I have one to call my very own. I had an MP3 player and I liked it fine, but it had limits that the IPOD does not. I had trouble loading up music on the MP3 player and I have not had any problem with the IPOD device. It seems to me that the MP# player is great for some people and I am just one of the people who like the Ipod better. When you compare prices the difference is very close and I think if you shop around you can find the two electronic devices at about the same price. I found the best prices at SaveBuckets.com and WE were able to find the Ipod that I really wanted at the Save Buckets web site. I still use my MP3 player and will as long as it works, I take it on airplanes with me the battery lasts a bit longer than the Ipod and that makes it better for travel where no outlet would be available for a period of time to recharge the Ipod.
Concert tonight
We got some ticket to go downtown to the Ryman Auditorium tonight to see Levon Helm of the Band fame in concert. I have wanted to see this show since it was announced and was not sure if we could go or not. Today is concert day and we have cleared our schedule and we are going to go see this great show. They announced special guest tonight as John Hyatt and Delbert McClinton that is a good show on its own, let alone as special guest for the main show. Levon Helm was perhaps the best of the drummer singers in the rock business with only a couple even coming close, Phil Collins and Don Henley of the Eagles were pretty good drummer singers too. I can not wait tonight is going to be a lot of fun and we need the break from work.
Poor Mindy
Poor Mindy McCready was arrested in Franklin again Monday for violating her probation by falsifying her community service records. It does not sound so very bad but poor Mindy has not been a good girl in the past, she is serving probation for a drug arrest in 2004 add in her assault conviction in Florida when she was not supposed to be in Florida at all and it was her mother she got in the fight with. At some point mandatory jail time is called for to make these celebrities pay for their crimes.
Daughters music
As I listen to the music my daughter and her friends are playing I try to grasp it but I have had a hard time. So I found a site that lets me see the Rap Lyrics and that has helped me understand the music.
Rap Lyrics is a great site with the lyrics to all the rap songs and I have found it a great tool to my mind and it lets me understand my kids and their music, I wish my parents had a site like this to understand the rock and roll I played all the time.
