Over the Christmas holidays my son gave me this book that he had just read.

Interesting read. It confirms most of what I have always known and disliked about pop music. But it is fascinating none the less. A relatively small number of producers and writers create a disproportionately large share of contemporary hits, which may explain why so many of them sound similar. Its been that way since Tin Pan Alley. And it is a male dominated world with the some exceptions. One is Ester Dean. In modern pop hit making the hook is every thing. Hits today need hooks in every part of the song to keep the attention of attention deficit teens in the digital world. Seabrook calls Dean a 'hook spitting savant' in The Song Machine, and writes about how the song Rude Boy, a big hit for Rihanna was written and produced. Although Rihanna co-wrote the song with the song producers StarGate, Makeba Riddick, and Rob Swire, it's Deans' hooks and lyrics that make it a hit.

Here are two versions of the song. The first is Rihanna's hit version. The second is Deans' demo. I like Deans' voice and she basically shows Rihanna how to sing the song.

This is a great book if you are interested in a behind the scenes look at the music industry.

If I were interested in your budget for music, I'd try to keep you away from other countries websites, ruled under different laws concerning digital rights management. Fear is a strong motivator. Who controls your Web Of Trust?

You lost me on your reply. I simply stated that when I clicked on the web link you provided , it came up as unsafe . I stated it was unsafe so no one would risk having their computer infected.

I tried to explain, that whoever controls your perception rules your motivation. Who makes you fear a website controls your motivation to access it. Governments tend to rule with fear. Today we see corporations controling our perception. In exchange for our personal data they provide personalized information - like advertising. They decide what to show us and what to hide. They control our monitor display. They ask us to install a safety checker, for free of course - just to protect us from harm of course. They don't want any money in exchange for their efforts. That's how our economic system works, you know. :03: There may be still some advantage on their side? And some are clever enough to ask you for your money, additionally to your acknowledgement to be guided through the dangerous shoals of the internet. Well, that's off topic.

Ok. I get it now. There is probably a lot of truth in that as well. There was a thread in another part of the forum that dealt with that very issue. A number of forum members had commented on a web site that checked to see if your information and computer had been compromised. All you had to do was give a web site you didn't know full access to your data and computer. I don't see that happening.

Our forum members wisely pointed out how ridiculous that was. I can see the similarities in what you said and that of our other forum members.

You can try to find more information about the safety of a website by yourself. http://www.kindprotect.xyz/site/turbopk.net/ http://www.mustat.com/turbopk.net or even maybe here: http://www.scamadviser.com/is-turbop...fake-site.html (Hit the - Show Full Review For turbopk.net - button) ;) It's as secure as your content warning - we truly know nothing. Use NoScript and a good AdvertisementBlocker and you should be pretty safe. A restrictive firewall setting - especially checking who wants to phone home - and you should be fine.

Thanks for the valuable tips.

Kennedy Center Honors and Heart performance
 

I was watching the Kennedy Center Honors which celebrates the achievements of those in the entertainment industry such as in film, stage and music. The most recent additions are Carole King, George Lucas, Rita Moreno, Seiji Ozawa and Cicely Tyson. The star-studded celebration will be held on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage.

I thought of the Kennedy Center Honors held in 2012. The Center honored David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman, Chicago blues man and legendary guitarist Buddy Guy , ballerina Natalia Makarova and the legendary rock band, Led Zeppelin .

Quote: The honors are the nation's highest award for those who influenced American culture through the arts. The recipients were later saluted by fellow performers at the Kennedy Center Opera House in a show to be broadcast Dec. 26 on CBS.Obama drew laughs from his guests when he described the honorees as "some extraordinary people who have no business being on the same stage together."Noting that Guy made his first guitar strings using the wire from a window screen, he quipped, "That worked until his parents started wondering how all the mosquitoes were getting in."

The president thanked the members of Led Zeppelin for behaving themselves at the White House given their history of "hotel rooms trashed and mayhem all around." Obama noted Letterman's humble beginnings as an Indianapolis weatherman who once reported the city was being pelted by hail `the size of canned hams.' Quote “

Lenny Kravitz, the Foo Fighters and other musicians performed Led Zeppelin Songs with original Zepplein members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page looking on. The last performance of the night and show stopper was the Iconic Led Zeppelin song “ Stairway “ performed and covered this night by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart and Jason Bonham, the son of original Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham and what I assume is the “ house “ band.

It's difficult to cover a famous song as that chosen but even more difficult with the originators looking on. Ann and Nancy Wilson not only nailed the song but Ann took liberties with it's vocal arrangement to such a degree that it brought Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant to tears. John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page also approved as they were rocking with the song.

The Performance was given a standing ovation. The performance by Vocalist Ann Wilson and her sister, vocalist and guitarist Nancy Wilson was beyond exceptional and demonstrates why Ann Wilson at almost 66 years old is still considered the gold standard with which other rock vocalists aspire. ( born June 19, 1950 ) I think the Wilson Sisters turned in the performance of a lifetime decades after they first arrived on the music scene.

Heart has had a number of lineups and always had first rate musicians and their music is as relevant today as when written.
