Well hey there my musical muse. That's interesting about MJ's fan describing what made his album a success. What did she say ? I could guess because it is good structured music with a great beat and livable lyrics ? Nice pop appeal. I'm not familiar with the band, Muse - i'll have to look it up. I agree about some of the metal just sounding like noise. I like all music, but the head-banging stuff gets old after about 2-3 minutes. Actually it amazes me that that is still around, but i am very happy that it has survived - i don't like to see anything die. The more genres the merrier. Its just that i don't know of any radio stations or dance clubs that play metal music here in Miami. There's a big market for dance music (house, techno, trance, electro-pop, etc) and especially rap stuff being as we are one of the largest cities for original rap music here, and have the record companies and producers with bucks to crank it out. And we do have a couple of radio stations that play 80s-90s pop stuff or 60's rock. What is your most prevalent type of music over there ?

Typical Irishman, a good sense of his obligation. In this case, to his fans. How much have you traveled around Europe, ever been to Ireland? I've been fortunate enough to have been all over the place...well, nowhere east of Venice...poor me huh? lol But seriously, I think we live on the best continent.

Indeed I have Alex. It's currently housed at the ‘Rock Chic’ exhibition in Collins Barracks Museum, Dublin. You have his every album? I remember when we first met, you said you liked him. But I had no idea you were that big a fan.

Hallo Alex. Hartstikke tof van je dat je me hebt uitnodigd, maar het is niet nodig hoor. Ik ga met de Kerst naar mijn jongste zoon dus ik heb geen eenzame Kerst. Maar toch heel erg bedankt !! Ik wens je nog een prettige avond. Groeten ~ Hubert.

Yes, I just noticed Hubert's vid. He has great taste!! I can play most every song from that Greatest Hits album, thank you very much. My mom bought that piano book for me when I was a kid. She loves them. ~The beginning of your feature sounds a lot like John Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me", very pretty! ~ Nope, it was a completely different message that I was talking about that I wrote. The arrow one was just the arrow part. Maybe it didn't stick in the first place. I don't usually go back to see if they stuck but maybe I should. ~ Yep, I seem to recall a DLR vid with him wearing those pants as well. Ehem, he couldn't really get away with it either. ~Hope your day is going well. We'll be doing the same later on today. The long run is a certainty. I think we've established that. XOX

glad to hear you are feeling better. I had the flu this week. Wow thought I was gonna die it was so bad.

Hey that is pretty cool! Thanks for the link! He has a mighty good band too! Enjoyed the video as well!

Hello Alex! Lol it is cool man. I really enjoy all kinds of music and your feature is wonderful! :)

A joke? He didn't. Cheers for the comments and the thumbs up. So your a T.O.N fan, yeah October Rust is a great album, so is Bloody Kisses. It seems to happen to a lot of big guys. Athletes in particular. He was never the best looking dude, but I've no doubt that he scored some serious tail before he left us. What do you think of their song "Christian Woman"? The one I have featured, "Blood & Fire" was the first I ever heard from them. It was on the soundtrack to the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. I was just a kid then, and that's how I came across them. Been a fan ever since. Sherrie likes them too. So ya wanna be boxed huh?

Hey Alex, how's it going? ✌

Bedankt Alex. Ik heb geen kerstboompje. Ik heb 2 katten die graag in bomen klimmen. Lol. Ik ben alleen en voor mij hoeft het ook niet. Ik wens jou ook een fantastisch weekend ~ Hubert.
