“The Voices” of Empty “Idols”
The video below generally sums up the feelings of us who are not fans of singing competition shows like, “American Idol” and “The Voice.”
We don’t need future musical “idols.” We need singers and bands that are a combination of musicians, performers and storytellers who start from the ground level in a garage or music room in a school and work their way up to as big a venue as fans demand. This is a process that takes years and years of dedication, endurance and dealing with a variety of struggles in the real world of music, not weeks on a television show.
How can you distinguish between great bands/singers and competitors on, “The Voice” and “American Idol?” You can hear it in their voice.
An Action = An Opposite and Equally Funny Reaction
Life can be beautifully wonderful one minute and then transform into a personalized scene from, “Inception” that surrounds us without more than a moment’s notice. These situations/clashes can be countered with just a little extra effort and creative thinking on the part of adept individuals.

Happy Tuesday!
In honor of, “Girl Meets World” being greenlit by the Disney Channel for 2014, I happily present a clip from, “Boy Meets World” that will bring joy to the masses, especially for those who are experiencing the dreadful workweek when Monday knocks twice. The two minutes spent down nostalgia lane will certainly help!
To the man/character who would become known as the infinitely wise, “Plays with Squirrels,” you’re on!
The Epic Renaissance of the “Man of Steel”
“One day, you’re gonna have to make a choice. You have decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. … Whoever that man is, good character or bad, is gonna change the world.”
–Mr. Kent
“You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They’ll race behind you, they will stumble. They will fall. … But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.”
–Jor-El

It’s a bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super-I mean, It’s the Man of Steel!
The day has arrived when the superhero of all superheroes will again appear as a heroic savior from the skies. As the description the late Jay Morton coined reads, he’s, “faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” The, “man of steel” will attempt to protect the people of Earth from General Zod and his army while wearing a modernized (by Kryptonian standards) blue suit with a red cape, donning the most famously symbolic “S” ever known.
How will fans react to Henry Cavill’s adaptation? Was he up to this enormous challenge?
Music is a vitally important partner to any television show or movie featuring Superman. The opening few seconds of John Williams’ score for the 1978 motion picture is definitively beautiful as it sets the stage for a grand journey. Hans Zimmer, a composing mastermind and movie soundtrack maestro, put his orchestral talents to work to create the right sound that had to be, quite literally, super!
In the short video below, Zimmer describes a new listening technology he helped develop when he composed the, “Man of Steel” soundtrack.
Innovative- Brilliant-Wow!
Did Zimmer write a new, modern anthem or score that will overtake the iconic, “Superman” soundtrack by John Williams? No, because that task is essentially impossible. However, as the music from the multiple trailers and his past movie scores have indicated, the new soundtrack will undoubtedly be epic. That’s an investment you can take to the bank.
Will, “Man of Steel” be as epic as the soundtrack? Will Kal-El fly off the screen without the assistance of 3D glasses?
June 14, 2013: The time has come to buy the tickets and watch the greatest superhero of all-time grow up in confusing wonderment on a strange planet, somehow meet Lois Lane and then battle the powerfully evil General Zod and his destructive army.
As Jimmy’s Daily Planet’s current headline indicates, the expectations for this Super-I mean, “Man of Steel,” are epic.
Will we join him in the sun…?
