I'm a feminist


44 years ago, Ramones gave an amazing concert at The Rainbow Theatre, London, England, during the New Year's Eve of 31.12.1977. It was recorded for the album "It's Alive" and it was also recorded in video. Unfortunately, the entire show is not available.
It is the same kind of energy presented in this fantastic performance at the Bataclan in Paris with the band IDLES.
Happy new year :)

I drove all night

An incredible song of passion written by the songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly to be sung by Roy Orbison. However, Orbison died before the record sessions were completed and the song wasn't firstly released with his voice. Steinberg and Kelly also wrote "True Colors" for Cyndi Lauper and she took their "Drove All Night" making an amazing version. Orbison's version would be released later, in 1992, with an excessive 90's mainstream style, which did not turn the song a Rock'N'Roll classic it would deserve to be. An edition made in 2017 with orchestra, did not save Roy's version either. The best version, still is Cyndi's, the 1st one. It is also the song where she showed that she's not only a funny rebel singer. She's a great singer.

the damage and the purge


The damage. "The Beachland Ballroom" by the IDLES. One of the best songs of this year.
And the purge.
"Crawler" is an innovative masterpiece and the new album of this British-Irish punk band. Punk is an attitude, more than everything.

"This is chapter one of a new book", says Joe Talbot. And we're ardently wishing for the next chapters.
Cheryl Waters is just amazed here and it's our privilege to watch this performance.
Have a great weekend :)
