Popularity survey: thumbs up and thumbs down?

Not much. Although the other day, my boyfriend got a record deal on a independent label. He's in a blues and hard rock band so he's super excited.

Other than that, I have exams at university for my english degree so I can pass and hopefully become a writer and poet. BQ: Do you mean released this month? Well, I don't listen to modern music.

But I have been listening to 'In Utero' by Nirvana a lot lately.

May 4th is the Opeth/Mastodon concert, which I'll be attending. Remember "Beatlemania" (the show)?. Well, I saw it a couple times during the late 70's and thought it was very good.

It seems there's a new group for the show, and they'll be here June 13th...we're planning on going. Iron Maiden is going to be here in July...got our tickets awhile back...looking forward to this too! Of the 300 or so concerts coming to Calgary over the spring/summer, a few more are; Dragonforce, Valdy, John Prine, BB King, Van Halen, Nickleback, Black Dahlia Murder, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Apocalyptica, Switchfoot, Randy Travis, Garth Brooks, Steve Earle, Bryan Adams, John Mellencamp, Edgar Winter, Herman's Hermits, Blue Rodeo, KD Lang, Bonnie Rait, The Beach Boys, Nazareth, 3 Inches Of Blood, Neil Diamond, Steve Martin And The Steep Canyon Rangers, CCR, Yanni, Emmylou Harris, Air Supply, Linkin Park, Gerry And The Pacemakers, Lee Aron/The Headpins, Dr. Hook, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Stampeders, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jesse Winchester, etc etc. Lots of stuff for everybody it seems :) BQ: "Strip And Go Naked" - Victor (aka Alex Lifeson of Rush)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc2lc8_az... Happy May to you as well.

Today (May 1st) is my kid sisters 44th birthday. Seems like yesterday when I used to babysit her!...where did the time go? Lol.

We're all going out for dinner tonight...should be fun ;).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
