Arts and Entertainment:Music from EzineArticles.com

What was it about rockabilly music that held such strong appeal to the youth of the 1950s? Why was the music so powerful and why did it become such a defining force in American culture and then worldwide culture? And how has the music's appeal evolved over time? What makes modern fans love the music as much as--if not more--than the fans of the 1950s. I'm not sure those are questions that can truly be answered, but I'm willing to try!

Wow! Didn't see this one coming!

According to preliminary numbers, America's Got Talent apparently earned higher ratings than the The Voice's season finale last night!

The singing competition reportedly took a 3.5 rating/12 share in the adults 18-49 demographic - which was 6% higher from last week's result show, but 20% lower than the performance finale the night before - and garnered 10 million viewers, while Talent had a 4.0/12 share and 13 MILLION viewers!

We guess people love their Howie Mandel!

Who'd of thought?! LOLz!

Either way, well done to both of those shows!

Wedding Planning Tips Anyone Can Use

One of the things that made rockabilly music so great during its rise in the 1950s was the all-out, go-for-broke attitude that so many of the performers exhibited. The early performers were influenced by the two vastly different worlds of country music and rhythm and blues. While they may have taken many aspects of country music and utilized them in the look of rockabilly, they poured just as many aspects of rhythm and blues music into the attitude of their new music.

Is there anything this man can’t do!?!

Putting his heart into it, Johnny Depp played alongside Alice Cooper at London's 100 Club to the rock star’s famous anthems School’s Out and I’m Eighteen.

This video makes us wonder what if...

For those of you who don’t know, Johnny’s first love wasn’t the camera but actually the guitar. Dropping out of high school to pursue a life as a musician, he and his band, The Kids, headed west to Los Angeles.

Of course, we all know how the story changed. The man switched gears and became a Hollywood film icon - which we’re all selfishly happy about.

3 Simple Steps to Tune an Electric Guitar

Characterized as having a strong and rhythmic understructure, solos, call-and-response patterns-the blues print of improvisation puts its stamp on the celebrated musical genre of jazz. A proud part of African-American culture, the history of jazz traces its roots back to the United States during the early part of the 20th century. Alas, after many jam sessions and much improvisation, jazz appreciation in the state of Rhode Island prevailed through the creation of the Newport Jazz Festival, held three days every August so residents and visitors alike can tune in to its inventive style, creative genius, and all that jazz.

"My fans seem to get younger and younger. So it’s very important for me to speak to a child differently than I would speak to an adult. And when all a child can hear is your music and see the way you dress, that’s the only thing you can really use to kind of steer [him or her] in the right direction. So I toned it down a bit. The music will always remain authentic. So taking out a few curse words every now and then doesn’t make you less credible of a rapper."

Wow! Simply put...we're happy Keith Olbermann is back.

Call him "biased" or a "bleeding heart liberal" if you want to, but Keith's words supporting same-sex marriage have nothing to do with political party affiliation. Instead they are simply LOGICAL and spoken completely out of LOVE for his fellow citizen, whether they be gay, straight, black, white, yellow, green, purple, or blue.

Following President Barack Obama's speech at a Democratic fundraiser in New York, where he spoke about the SINGLE Republican vote which the state's future of same-sex marriage hinges upon, Keith delivered an intelligent, well-spoken and completely rational statement in support of the bill.

"Every year the margin by which this country supports this grows and within a decade or perhaps less it will be universal in this nation. Period. Ironically, it is not because there is great advocacy for it, but simply out of an inability of younger people in this country to do what older ones still can -- to pretend this matters anymore. It just doesn't. It won't destroy the democracy, it doesn't destroy the family, it strengthens the institution of marriage in its principal premise of fidelity, and it increases the number of people living in stable and loving homes."

YES! Thank you Keith for speaking so frankly and honestly! This isn't propaganda people, it's just common civil rights sense!

Watch the excerpt above from Thursday night's Countdown, now airing on Current at 8pm, to see Keith LAY IT DOWN for anyone who can not wrap their head around same-sex marriage.

Wow. We've never really seen anything like this - especially featuring this kind of subject matter!

Check out the new music video for the Cults' single Go Outside, off of the band's debut, self titled album, which features actual video footage taken from the famous religious cult led by Jim Jones, Peoples Temple, before the Jonestown Massacre.

According to a statement from director Isaiah Seret:

To tell the story of Cults' hauntingly beautiful track, "Go Outside", I was inspired to bring the band inside the world of Jim Jones' famous religious cult, Peoples Temple, and the eventual tragedy in Jonestown. Fortunately, when exploring the feasibility of this video I became acquainted with Fielding M. McGehee III, an expert on Peoples Temple history and the primary researcher for the Jonestown Archive. It is thanks to him and his encouragement that I was able to take on this project and through his support gained access to over two and half hours of home videos showing Peoples Temple in Jonestown. For this music video we didn't want to put a spin on the footage or the peoples lives—instead we wanted to re-tell and humanize their story. In order to achieve this we used a combination of stock footage, visual effects and other tricks to embed the band into the historical footage. This was achieved through my collaboration with my visual effects supervisor Bill Gillman and my cinematographer Matthew Lloyd. Lastly, I am moved to say when we completed the video we were able to preview it for some of the survivors of the Jonestown Massacre, who expressed their appreciation of our focus on the lives of the People's Temple members as opposed to exploiting the graphic images of the final tragedy.

In History and Memory,

Isaiah

Before Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007, she was locked in a complicated legal battle over money supposedly left (or not left) to her by her late husband's estate.

Her husband had died in the first year of marriage and his will made no mention of her. Upset by this, Anna took the estate to court saying that her late husband had promised her $300 million dollars to be left to her in the event that he should pass away.

Today, in a case that's strangely between to deceased people, the court has ruled in favor of the estate, and that Anna Nicole was not to get any of that money.

She accused J. Howard Marshall's heirs of conspiring to keep her out of the payout.

And four years later, everyone can get back to whatever they would be doing right now if this had been dropped a long time ago!

While he was recording and releasing the first Joell Ortiz mixtapes, the artist had quite a lot to deal with both in and out of the studio. Although the early years were not easy, they gave him material for excellent hip hop songs that would take him far into his career.

Yesterday was David’s and my last full day in Detroit and we got to spend it with my parents. In celebration of Father’s Day, Sarah, Mark and David joined me and my parent’s for a nice afternoon brunch at the Woodward Avenue Brewery in Ferndale, MI. Because the W.A.B. is the only place left in the Metro Detroit area with a working old skool photobooth, I wanted to make sure that I took the opportunity to get some photobooth photo of my parents. Everyone too their turn in the photobooth but my parents’ photostrip really turned out the cutest ;)

My mother hates taking photos but with help from my dad, we managed to cajole her into being a good sport. It was nice sharing the afternoon with Sarah, Mark and David, too! We had a great day together. The rest of yesterday was very leisurely and then last night, David and I flew home. The flight was a bit delayed but we managed to get home safe and sound.

Tonight is a big day … David and I will be making our way to the Staples Center in downtown LA to see Britney Spears LIVE in concert at her Femme Fatale Tour! I am really looking forward to seeing the final show with my own eyes. Tonight is going to be a fantastic night … I can already feel it! Woot!!

Dear New Acoustic Guitar Player: I know you are sick and tired. You are sick and tired of playing the acoustic guitar while you sing but can't really hear yourself because what you are playing is very loud. You have tried to strum lightly to get it quieter but the attempt just makes strumming very uneven. You barely touch the strings and miss them often whenever you try to play lightly. You hear people like Jack Johnson play and find that their guitars are so quiet compared to when you hear yourself play. Their playing sounds really nice and you can't help but wonder: how can I play quietly like them? Well here's how:

Things are getting reeeaaal for New York housewife Sonja Morgan.

The reality star is going through a tough time with her money woes, but looks like things have just made a turn for the worse.

Sonja is in danger of losing her $6 million Upper East Side town house while she and her ex-husband John Adams Morgan fight in court.

Sonja says, "I'm sure the world thinks, 'Sonja doesn't have to worry. She's got that husband there for her.' But I'm on my own."

Sonja's ex is a descendant of the famous J.P. Morgan and even former President John Adams, however, he's refusing to pay her a $3 million lump-sum divorce settlement with $300,000 in back alimony.

While Mr. Adams lives high on the hog on his private $19 million island off of Stamford, Connecticut, Sonja has been banned from selling or visiting her their properties in Colorado and France.

In just the past few months, Sonja has filed for bankruptcy and is currently battling it out over other legal issues involving a movie her production company was set to finance.

Poor Sonja. We're really rooting for you, girl. We don't want to see you lose your home. Chin up, kiddo.

Simon van Kempen’s single ‘I Am Real’ is Hilariously Awful

Apparently trying to follow in the footsteps of ‘The Countess,’ fellow RHONY star Simon van Kempen has released what is being called a ‘single.’ Much to my complete satisfaction, the song is about as awkward and out of touch as the man himself. Yes, folks, I absolutely love it when D-listers like Simon and LuAnn make complete fools out of themselves trying to dabble in the music business. LuAnn’s track ‘Money Can’t Buy You Class’ was the most hysterically ironic attempt at writing meaningful lyrics ever. We all know that in the caste-less society of America, it ACTUALLY WAS her money that earned her a spot in the upper crust. As if that little gem wasn’t enough, her co-star Simon is offering up some sort of ridiculous dance track meant to defend how ‘real’ he is – just in time for the new season of the show. This little ditty even makes ‘Tardy For The Party’ sound good. From the production to the vocals, it’s a complete disaster. Simon’s singing is delivered through a heavy filter, which puts a nasty echo on his voice like some sort of cheesy 80s synth-pop track. Then there’s the actual content of the lyrics. [...]

Last night David and I met up with our good friends Tamar, Ollie and Rob for a fun bowling date at Lucky Strike in Hollywood, CA. Tam and I have been trying to work out a time where we could all hang out for sometime now but our schedules have been getting in the way. We finally managed to get the time set and last night was our bowling date night. To be honest, we collectively did NOT exhibit the best bowling skillz last night … but we did have a blast and that is really all that matters.

David and I supped on delicious pizza at Prizzi’s Piazza before bowling and for those of you who are fans of their amazing food, I have the sad duty to report that the restaurant is closing at the end of this month. I was very shocked and very bummed to see the notice of closure on the door as we walked in. If you love Prizzi’s pizza, you’re running out of time to enjoy it :(

In happier news, tho, our bowling date was nothing but a total blast. Lucky Strike was pretty empty so we had a lot of room to play. David ended up winning but we all did our best … and that’s all that matters ;D

Today is Cinco de Mayo and while I normally would be out whooping it up with margaritas tonight, I’ll instead be jammin’ my buns off at the first of another set of 3 Prince concerts at The Forum in Inglewood, CA. I am really excited for tonight’s show … I’m hearing rumors that Stevie Wonder *may* make a surprise appearance at one of the shows this weekend. My guess is that if Stevie does appear, it’ll prolly be during Saturday’s concert. I cannot wait to see what’s gonna happen tonight :D Happy Thursday!
