Samuel Wright When you talk in music circles about 80’s bands, there are few circles, at least in the US that you will hear people talk about Eurogliders. In fact, they did very poorly in America and are among the list of many “one-hit wonders” with the release of their “Heaven” in 1984 on “This Island” album. … Read more
Yes… it is sad that Michael Jackson died. Yes… he was a legend in the music industry. Yes… the image that he held (please note the past tense) will be missed. The fact is that the Michael Jackson that died is not the same person that I used to listen to when I was growing … Read more
This debate has been going on for a long time, but when most of the world is using the metric system, why are we one of the last hold-outs? When you look at the world, especially from a scientific point of view, it is obvious that the old English system that we presently use is … Read more
