...'I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land
I'm on the highway to hell'.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse



British singer Amy Winehouse died this morning. I can't say i'm surprised, but I was hoping she'd pull it together for a third album.
We'll always have the masterpiece ''Back To Black'' to remember her.
Amy joins the 27 club, having died at the age of 27 like: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat & Kurt Cobain.

Joy Division

Joy Division were an English rock band formed in 1976 in Salford, UK.
The Joy Division was a known name for areas in concentration camps (WW2) where female prisoners offered their services to the German guards.
According to music critic Jon Savage, the band "were not punk but were directly inspired by its energy".
Despite the band's growing success, vocalist Ian Curtis was beset with depression and personal difficulties, including a dissolving marriage and his diagnosis of epilepsy.
Lack of sleep and long hours destabilised Curtis's epilepsy and his seizures became almost uncontrollable;
early on the morning of 18 May 1980, Curtis hanged himself in his kitchen.
A great band!

MTV VMA's 2011



The annual who gives a shit anymore awards. When i was a kid, one of my favorite nights of the year was the MTV VMA's, but the last few years, the show has become fucking boring, the nominees don't make sense, the winners suck, and no one attends.
This year, the videos nominated are a special kind of bad.
VIDEO OF THE YEAR:
-Rolling in the Deep - Adele
-Make Some Noise - Beastie Boys
-Grenade - Bruno Mars
-Firework - Katy Perry
-Yonkers - Tyler, The Creator

If Adele doesn't win this, i'm never watching the VMA's again!
