Bunny Wailer - Blackheart Man

Bunny Wailer, also known as Bunny Livingston born April 10, 1947, Jamaica, is a singer songwriter and percussionist and was an original member of reggae group The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. He is widely regarded as a musical legend and is considered one of the longtime standard bearers of reggae music. He has been named by Newsweek as one of the three most important musicians in world music.

Last friday did Bunny entred the stage at Gröna Lund, it was 32 yrs ago he was on the same stage with the Bob Marley and the Wailers and he is the only living member from that time. The concert was marvelous, he shows the audience that he still is going strong and can deliver great tunes from the wailers catalog and his own.
Got a nice bunch of good pictures but i havent got time to go thru them yet.

Anyway, todays tune is when Bunny Wailer sings Blackheart Man at the Madison square Garden the 16 July 1986. Enjoy!

Morrissey - Irish Blood, English Heart

Moz did a gig at Hovet in Stockholm last night.

His lights was marvelous and his crew were great!!
A bunch of happy and mad dudes had a lot of fun, so thank you!

Morrissey has been vegetarian since he was 11 years old. Morrissey explained his vegetarianism by saying "If you love animals, obviously it doesn't make sense to hurt them", so no meat was served in the whole Hovet.

He became 50 years old in may this year.
The Swedish newspaper write of him as a livin legend.
Morrissey has always been politically outspoken, as well as
what he thinks of fellow artists.

For those who likes him enjoy this one.

Within Temptation - The Howling

This is a very good band that comes from the Netherlands.

The band was founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt.[1] Their music is described as symphonic metal,[2][3] gothic metal and gothic rock, that really talkes to me.

They produced 4 albums and then 2008 they came out with a live album called Black Symphony. This tube comes from the album The heart of everything that came out 2007.

It was written as a promotional song for The Chronicles of Spellborn, along with "Sounds of Freedom". "The Howling" was used in an online trailer for the game.

Enjoy !

Hugs, Thetania
