Green Day has not lost a beat in all these years! Still making great music...here's Meet Me On the Roof...

Song of the Day - Fire, Ready,.Aim - Green Day

No matter what my genre, I love me some Green Day, and they're back, teaming up with the NHL for a theme song to their Wednesday night's broadcast on NBCSN.  The tune is vintage Green Day, hard, heavy, and head bopping...oh man, they haven't skipped a beat!  Here's Fire, Ready, Aim...

I Love the 90's Song of the Day - When I Come Around - Green Day

One of the long-stays of the punk/alternative scene was born in the 80's, but thrived in the 90's.  Green Day, still around and going strong, had a string of hits throughout the decade that brought them one of the most devoted fan bases around.  Here's the 4th single off their monumental Dookie album.  Check out When I Come Around... 

New Music Fridays, November 17th, 2017 - The Week's Freshest New Tracks

Hello and welcome again to John's World's New Music Fridays.  Like every other week ,we've got some great stuff to share so let's get right to it...

Get It Right - Diplo, feat. MO

Diplo's new Get It Right is a brand new dancey collaboration with Danish singer MO.  The tune is from an upcoming documentary, Give Me Future, which is all about Diplo's historic shows in Cuba alongside Major Lazer.  Check out this very nice tune...

The Beautiful & Damned - G-Eazy, Zoe Nash

Maybe it's my age, but I really don't find a lot to like about today's hip hop or rap music, whatever it's called these days, but here's one I can sink my teeth into.  I know why, too.  It's not the rap part of this tune that makes me move when I listen, but the raspy vocals of one Ms. Zoe Nash, whose part gives the track a really nice groove.  Check out The Beautiful & Damned...

Pineapple Skies - Miguel

I am loving R&B artist Miguel.  It seems like whenever he puts out a new tune, I am posting it here.  His latest, Pineapple Skies is a groovalicious, easy breezy, soulful jam.  Check it out...

All Night - Steve Aoki, Lauren Jauregui

On the softer side of the dance music scene comes this very likable dance jam by superstar deejay/producer Steve Aoki, featuring sweet-voiced singer Lauren Jauregui.  Check out All Night...

Obsessed - Maggie Lindemann

You might remember singer Maggie Lindemann from her spot on The Vamps' Personal.  Well, she's got a brand new track that's both dance floor and radio friendly.  Check out Obsessed...

Song of the Day - Holiday - Green Day

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

One of the tamer lines from this monumental tune from Green Day back in March of 2005, the words of Billie Joe Armstrong are as true today as when he first wrote them 11-12 years ago.  Back then, all seemed hopeless and chaotic, but having lived through those Bush years and it now being a distant memory pales in comparison to what's going on these days.  Enough said!  Now take a careful listen to Holiday...    

A Song of the Day In Remembrance - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

Another turning point, 

a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, 

directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

As we mourn for a third day the 50 lives tragically and senselessly lost on Sunday, I'd like to dedicate this classic tune to whatever time these pour souls had on this Earth.  The incident is yet another sobering reminder that life is precious, and we need to make the most of how much or how little we have.  Many of those killed were babes.  Twenty and thirty-somethings who had lives to live.  

It's something unpredictable,
but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and still-frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

Vigils were held in places all over the world in solidarity to those who were massacred.  That's the wonderful part of the human spirit, the compassion and the brotherhood of all...gay, straight, black, white, whatever.  We all have a right to live our lives how we choose to, and with whatever cards we've been dealt, and no one should ever have the right to play God and take that away from us.

It's so difficult to look at these pictures without crying.  Now that all of the victims have been identified, we now know a little bit about each and every one of them and it makes it all that much sadder.  I only hope that these 50 souls did have the time of their lives while they were here and that they are somewhere out there feeling all of our love.
