Some Awesome Satire

So the so-called "USA Freedom Kids" and their performance glorifying potential fearless leader Donald Trump creeped out pretty much any person with any higher level of cognition. Frankly, it reminded me of something you'd see in North Korea to praise their great leader. Well, this group L337 L0V3 did an entirely hilarious cover. I honestly don't know how they were able to keep straight faces, but then there is a little thing called editing. Enjoy!

Oh, and here's a link to the original source material (be warned, however): http://youtu.be/ioBHJ0i0dtY

We'll Miss You, David Bowie

David Bowie was certainly innovative and influential--not just in the world of music, but also in video, science fiction, fashion, and general style. I have much of his catalog in my music collection. I loved that he was always changing, experimenting, pushing boundaries. His new album "Blackstar" reflects that for sure. He never wanted to repeat himself. He was a true artist. We are lessened by his departure from this plane of existence.

Here are my eleven favorite songs (because i couldn't limit it to just ten):
1) Heroes
2) Space Oddity
3) Cat People (Putting Out Fire)
4) Under Pressure (with Queen)
5) Ashes to Ashes
6) Jump They Say
7) I'm Afraid of Americans
8) Let's Dance
9) Changes
10) Loving the Alien
11) Fame

In my opinion, one of his most striking and surreal music videos has to be "Jump They Say" from his 1993 release Black Tie White Noise...
