Music and more!

Ah, sweet glorious music, an international language everyone can connect on. I'm not really into any certain type of music, but I will absolutely not listen to rap. It doesn't make any sense to me, and sometimes I hear lyrics for these rap songs and sometimes they are about raping/killing someone, someone stealing a girlfriend, stealing or something bad. No one wants to hear a song that has to do with drugs, rape/murder, or something like that, and no one definitely wants to hear a song that uses racial/ethnic slurs and bad words.


I also must say something important-- Today is the anniversary of Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white man. It's the anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. I say to Rosa Parks, way to go! I love hearing and learning about people like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. All they wanted was equality, and look what happens- Martin Luther King Jr, gets assassinated for believing in a world where blacks people and white people and everyone live together in perfect harmony, Rosa Parks gets arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man, Nelson Mandela gets convicted of political treason just because he believed in a world united and almost spends half his life in prison for what he believes in, I say it's high time for a change. I say that people need to stop the hate before it gets out of control. I know this blog is supposed to be about music, but I think this is a reason for celebrating. Rosa Parks is a wonderful person, she did what she believed in, and she gets arrested? No way, totally unfair.


Here are some links to some music videos of Aerosmith, a band I listen to:
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138674-Aerosmith: Rag Doll
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2165470-Aerosmith: The Other Side
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2164165-Aerosmith: Eat the Rich. This video starts out a little weird, and some of the lyrics have bad words, but it's an overall good song
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138672-Aerosmith: Fallin' in Love(Is Hard on the Knees). It's a suggestive song, and some of the lyrics are gross, but it's a good song
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138669-Aerosmith: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. This is PERFECT for couples because it talks about being romantic


Here are some Rolling Stones music videos:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--9151332-The Rolling Stones: It's Only Rock and Roll(Live)

Here is a video of the song Try Again by Aaliyah:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--159484907-Rihanna:Disturbia
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--45562928-Rihanna:Don't Stop the Music, definite party song




Here are some Shakira videos:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--30658140-Hips Don't Lie
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2154744-Whenever, Wherever




If it seems like alot of links and stuff, I do apologize. I think the links to the music videos will show what kind of music I'm into. And music seems to be an international language almost, everyone somehow connects with music. And I usually figure music is something everyone can connect to.
