The Eagles

After thinking a little about my last entry and The Eagles lyrics that I added, I thought that I would do an entry solely about The Eagles.

I have recently become a bigger Eagles fan. I have known a few of their songs for quite sometime, but really wasn't that big of a fan since I didn't know many of the songs. There was a concert special on NBC a few months back with the Eagles and I watched it. As I was watching, I began to notice that I knew more of their songs than I had first thought. I watched and was really enjoying what I was seeing and hearing. I found out at the end of the show that what NBC had shown was part of a DVD that was going to be released. There were quite a few songs that we left off of the NBC showing so I thought that I would get the DVD when it came out to hear all of the songs.

My mother bought the DVD for me Saturday. I watched it all and really enjoyed it. As a matter of fact, I have been watching it off and on since then. I cannot seem to get enough of it. These guys can really rock on their up-beat, rockin' songs and can really slow it down and be heartfelt with their ballads. They are a very talented band. It's a no wonder why they are in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

I would have to recommend this DVD to any music fan, especially Eagles fans. I think that you would enjoy as much as I do.

The Latest Random Ramblin'

Hey all. It is time for another edition of "Random Ramblin'." I have a few things to talk about this time around. Sit back and enjoy.

I went to MDA summer camp last week and had a pretty good time. The theme this year was "Camp Reality." Each day revolved around a popular reality show. For the most part, it was targeted for the younger campers. The older campers such as myself really didn't get into it, we never do. The whole point of camp for us older campers is to go and hang out with friends for a week. There is nothing really special about camp that needs mentioned. I did come home early though. I was supposed to come home Saturday morning but ended coming home Friday. Wed. night I started getting stomach aches that would last 30 seconds to a minute and a half. They would subside for about 10 to 15 minutes and start up again. I went all day Thursday with them, hoping they'd go away. That wasn't the case. Friday morning I woke up and felt no better so the decision was made for me to come home. That was the first time in 10 years that I had to come home early. I have one more year of camp left and then I will be too old to go. So next year, my best friend Roger and I will go out with a bang. Oh, speaking of Rog, he had his hair cut into a mohawk while at camp. Rog really pulls off the look.

The new season of "Rescue Me" premiered Tuesday night and is now underway. The show was good but wasn't as good as was hyped, in my opinion. I am not mad that it wasn't as good as hyped is because I know the purpose of the show was to set the tone for the rest of the season. From what I gathered from the first episode of the new season is that it is going to be a very interesting season to say the least. The life of Tommy Gavin is going to get more complicated before things get any easier or better. I cannot wait for a new episode come Tuesday.

So I have recently become a big fan of The Eagles. They had a concert special on NBC a few weeks ago that I watched. I really enjoyed the show as well as the music. I heard a few songs that I knew of their's and heard a few that I didn't realize were Eagles songs. During this concert they played a new song that was penned by band member Glenn Frey. The song is titled "No More Cloudy Days" and its just a beautiful song.

Here are the lyrics for those that are interested.

No More Cloudy Days
Written by Glenn Frey
Performed by Glenn Frey w/ The Eagles

Sitting by a foggy window
Staring at the pouring rain
Failing down like lonely tear drops
Memories of love and vain

These cloudy days make you want to cry
It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don't know why

I can see that you've been hurting
Baby I've been lonely too
I've been out here lost and searching
Looking for a girl like you
Now I believe the sun is gonna shine
Don't you be afraid to love again
Put your hand in mine

Baby I would never make you cry
I would never make you blue
I would never let you down
I would never be untrue
I know a place where we can go, where true love always stays
There's no more stormy nights
No more cloudy days

I believe in second chances
I believe in angels too
I believe in new romances
Baby I believe in you
These cloudy days are coming to an end
And you don't have to be afraid to fall in love again

Baby I would never make you cry
I would never make you blue
I would never turn away
I would never be untrue
I know a place where we can go, where true love always stays
There's no more stormy nights
No more cloudy days

I just love this song and cannot get enough of it. It seems that I listen to it at LEAST 5 times a day. I highly recommend anyone to take a listen to this song. I think the message is a great one. I feel that this song kind of describes me.

Anyway, I think that is going to wrap it up this time around.

'Till next time.

In Need of A 'Rescue'

So, how many of you have seen and/or heard of the FX hit drama, "Rescue Me"?

For those that might not know anything about "Rescue Me," here is an official description of the show:

Tommy Gavin is a lifesaver. Whether he is pulling survivors from fiery high-rise infernos or the twisted steel of a subway collision, Gavin takes great pride in leading the heroic but often overwhelmed firefighters of New York City's Truck Company 62. Gavin (Denis Leary) is also a man drifting between sorrow and anger over a recent separation from his wife (Andrea Roth) and three kids, and recurring memories of comrades and New Yorkers fallen victim. Leary and multiple Emmy Award-winning writer-producer Peter Tolan ("The Larry Sanders Show," "Murphy Brown"), the team behind the critically-acclaimed cop drama "The Job," have re-teamed as creators, writers and executive producers of "Rescue Me."

I have to tell you, this is my new favorite show. I watch it religiously and never miss an episode. The first season was a big hit and was absolutely awesome. The first season ended back in September and has been on hiatus since. I am having withdrawals and am itching for a "Rescue Me" fix, bad.

From the looks of the promos that I have seen for the second season, if I thought that first season was great, I haven't seen anything yet. Each time I see a promo, I get the itch. Luckily though, the new season starts June 21st.

The first season is being released on DVD this coming Tuesday. It will be a 3-disc set with all 13 episodes and will be packed with special features. The special features include: commentary of the first and last episodes with the show's creators, Denis Leary and Peter Tolan; a blooper reels, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and a sneak peak at Season 2. This DVD is going to be off the hook and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Amazon.com has a 5-minute preview of the DVD and you can check it out by clicking the link below:
