Lynard Skynard With God And Guns

Lynard Skynard is a formidable rock band that recorded their latest album “God and Guns” and released it in September 2009. The songs in the album are first class along with the verses in the album. The album reflects on an America that appears to have lost its sense of direction.

The two memorable songs in the album are “God and Guns” and “That Ain”t My America” since they really cut into the issue on what has happened in America. The song “God and Guns deals with the attempts of politicians in Washington to remove God from the fabric of American Life as well as violate the Second Amendment on the right to bear arms.

The song “God and Guns” talks about how the Supreme Court prohibited the right of children to pray to God or even mention his name in school. The excuse made by the politicians have been based on the separation of church and state. The song even goers further to talk about attempts by the politicians to remove God from American Life.

The song ends with the sentence that says that when the politicians remove “God and Guns” from American life, we are at a big problem since we cannot defend ourselves. The moral of the song according to the underwriter is that at times a true patriot may have to struggle against the enemy within as well as the external enemy in order to defend the freedoms that we have while they still exist.

The song “That Ain”t My America” talks about more of the problems of society such as why justice has become blind and why people are not allowed to enjoy life. The song continues to talk about how they saw an elderly person thank a young veteran at an airport in Dallas, Texas.

“That Ain”t My America” talk about the attempts of the politicians to “knock Uncle Sam” and the determination to not allow it to happen. The song continues talking about what is happening today in America is unrelated to the roots of the country. It also comments on the rights of American Citizens to hold a “Bible and a Gun” without fear, children prohibited from praying, and “100 Dollars of Gasoline”.

The album as well as the songs appear to be a wake up call for those who love America. The melody and the music is also great. For this reason, the album deserves a one hundred percent.

Carlos “Machito” Prieto: Un Verdadero Trovador Atraves De Los Siglos

Fue un 27 de Febrero de 2010, fui a un restaurante italiano cuyo nombre es Portobello con mi esposa Marlene, mi hija Verónica, y su novio José. El restaurante tenía un concierto de un cantautor Cubano cuyo nombre es Carlos “Machito” Prieto.

Carlos “Machito” Prieto nació en Camagüey, Cuba y salió de la isla hacia España donde vivió desde 1966 hasta 1969. Después, traslado hacia Venezuela donde vivió desde 1969 hasta 1999. En el presente, vive en la ciudad de Miami Florida donde trabaja como cantante en Portobello.

Durante su tiempo en Venezuela, participo en el establecimiento de varios grupos como Extasis, Vertigo, Shedak, y Átomo. Durante su estadía en el país, el participo en la Fundación Vida cuya meta es ayudar a los niños pobres en Venezuela.

Incluso, recibió apoyo de la división cultural del gobierno de Venezuela para la Fundación Todoson. El propósito de la fundación es la enseñanza de música experimental al pueblo. En su época venezolana, tenia más de 300 canciones escrito.

He tenido el placer de conversar con él y es un cantante con un corazón gigantesco. El hablo de la necesidad de tener una música pura libre de malas palabras y mediocridad. Incluso, grabo una versión escrito por el de uno de los versos del prócer cubano José Martí.

La canción “Cuba” escrito por el habla de una isla en el medio del mundo. Aunque naci fuera de Cuba, [mi sangre, alma, y corazón], podía sentir por dentro como hablo de la isla bella que se convirtió en una pesadilla de una dictadura.

Cuando escucho la canción “Cuba”, sentí el verso de cómo la “gente allí vagaban por el mundo”. La canción “Cuba” hablo de los sufrimientos de la isla y sentí todo los versos dentro de mi alma. La gente no se da cuenta que los cubanos que nacieron y criaron en el exterior tuvieron que pagar los platos rotos por lo que sucedió.

Esa verdad lo dio Carlos “Machito” Prieto en esa canción y quiero felicitarlo por esa canción. La música de Carlos “Machito” Prieto es variada con baladas, jazz latino, y hasta boleros.

Las canciones de su disco compacto escrito por él en su álbum “Solo” es un ejemplo de cómo se puede grabar un disco con solo una voz y una guitarra. El álbum “Solo” es un ejemplo de la pureza de la música universal incluyendo la música cubana.  El álbum “Comentarios” es otro que recomiendo para los amantes de la música con versos con alma y corazón.

El escritor de este articulo quiere dar el premio de un 100% a Carlos “Machito” Prieto y sus álbumes “Solo” y “Comentarios” por la pureza de la música.

BBC Asian Network Has My Support

The BBC has made some changes and one of them appears to be the disappearance of BBC Asian Network.

The BBC Asian Network was created in the 1990’s as a response to the growing need of the British Asian Community to have its own voice and culture in the mainstream, Since then, it has grown to be a station that has promoted the BBC and the British Asian Community in Great Britain and the world.

The BBC Asian Network has given the world great people in the news and entertainment realm such as Sonia Deol, Nihal, D.J. Kayper, Rozina Sini, Nikki Bedi, and Anita Rani. Konnie Huq has even participated in some of the programmes of the venerable institution.

The underwriter also remembers some of the interviews conducted by Meirul Din with some of the personalities of Bollywood.

Who could ever forget the programmes of music by Bobby Friction and when Sonia Deol reported about the Glastonbury Festival? How about some of the reports by Rozina Sini about the elections in Pakistan as well as the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto? BBC Asian Network even had a segment by Konnie Huq on being British Asian?

I still remember these and other segments that appeared in this venerable institution. Regardless, It appears that the BBC in its attempts to cut costs has decided that the BBC Asian Network.

It appears that the BBC does not take into account a segment of a population that has their own needs and have a need for a place of their own to express them.

Before continuing, many readers would wander why a US Latin would be worried about BBC Asian Network. The response is simple, music and culture is worldwide. BBC Asian Network has been a bridge between the US Latin and British Asian Community.

The bridge that exists between the US Latin and British Asian Community means that we are alike even though miles and kilometres separate is. BBC Asian Network has served as that bridge. The most notable example of how BBC Asian Network helped was during the three Hurricanes that struck Miami Florida in 2005.

In the year 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck Miami Florida leaving anarchy and desolation in its wake. The internet and television was not around and people relied on the shortwave radio and the telephone in order to maintain outside contact with the world. The underwriter received a phone call [the first since the hurricane struck] from BBC Asian Network.

The person who talked to the underwriter from the other side of the phone was Sonia Deol. The underwriter remembered how Sonia Deol asked how was everything and he responded by telling the truth about the abandonment of the people in Miami by the US Authorities at the time.

Sonia Deol was very sympathetic to what was happening in Florida and the underwriter. During the time that things went from bad to worse, the underwriter was able to communicate with the rest of the staff of the venerable network so that people would discover what was going on in Florida during the hurricane.

The BBC Asian Network has presented a face of the British Asian Community that few people see. The face is that of a people who have the internal beauty of family, and friendship accompanied by the tenacity to succeed in life. Please do not shatter this image. Thank You.
