Who knew that Lenny Kravitz wanted to be the next Wayne Brady, but after watching the music video for Stand I think if he ever gave up music his next career goal would be to host Let’s Make a Deal. And you know what he would be great at it, as long as he goes back to his old hairstyle! But I don’t think he will be giving up the music scene any time soon because that song and that video will have him topping the charts once again. I can’t wait to buy Black and White America when it comes out on August 30th.
Sometimes I forget that his father was a Hollywood producer and his mother was Roxie Roker, who played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons, but it is things like this that remind of the good genes he comes from.
We have seen flash mobs all over the world, at malls, at train stations, at beaches and we have even seen a show dedicated to one each episode, but I don’t think we have ever seen one at a concert until now. Yesterday while Kenny Loggins was performing in Ashland, KY a group of people, who will be performing the musical Footloose in August, did a flash mob during his show when he sang the song of the same title. I don’t think I have ever seen one at a concert before, but I wish they would happen more often because it really is the best place to do one in my opinion.
And I am not the only one who thought it was a great idea because Kenny Loggins asked his fans on Twitter to send him video of it. You know since he missed out on it because he was on stage singing the song and all. Well one fan responded and said, “our son was a ‘flash mob’ kid Enjoyed show!” along with the above video. The proud mamma son was in the center with the purple bandana and she has every reason to be proud of him!!!
On a side if you ever get a chance to see Loggins live, do it because it is a really awesome show!!!
Four of the largest music groups (Universal, EMI, Sony and Warner Music) have compiled 38 of the hottest songs from both the past and present to raise money for Japan. The music giants are donating 100% of the proceeds to Japanese Red Cross Society.

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke has a new video out for his single Lotus Flower where he dances in a way that is very much his own. Well someone thought it would be a lot of fun to take his music video, get rid of his music and insert Beyonce’s Single Ladies. Let me tell after watching both videos, I think he needs to go on tour with Beyonce and dance for her instead of his to his tunes. Does that make me a Creep for saying that?
Britain’s AA (like US’s AAA) polled their members and asked them what songs they like to drive to. The #1 song is Meat Loaf’s Bat out of Hell and you know, I agree because that is a great to song to speed to on the highway (to hell). There was one tune that totally has me miffed and it is how did Bridge over Trouble Water by Simon and Garfunkle make the list? That song puts me to sleep, and who needs that when you driving…you might go off a Bridge over Troubled Water?
There were a few songs I love that didn’t make the list like; Billy Joel’s Pressure, Blink 182’s What’s My Age Again, Pink’s So What, Wicked’s Defying Gravity, Dexy Midnight Runner’s Come On Eileen and Sammy Hagar’s I Cant’ Drive 55 just to name a few.
