This a revised and updated version of an original tribute song I wrote back in 2007.-----As many of you know, I've been a fan of Rick Springfield since 1972. While there are many bands, muscians and recording artists whom I respect and admire, Rick is definitely at the top of ths list. Why?In 1971, I began taking guitar lessons, but got bored and quit within the same year. The following September 1972, I heard Rick Springfield on the radio for the very first time. His 1st USA hit song, Speak To The Sky, made to #14 on the charts. It was a song that really spoke to me then, and I decided I wanted to play it at church. So I was inspired to go back to guitar lessons, and after awhile I began to write songs myself...so Rick Springfield's "virtual influence" all those years ago is a big reason why I still write poetry, songs, play guitar and perform to this very day. It was on March 4, 2006 at a soundcheck at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, WA that I met Rick for the first time, and I was able to tell him the story of his musical influence on my life and music. He is a very nice man, and one of the most unpretentious celebrities one could ever hope to meet. At the risk of sounding corny, meeting him really was a dream come true as well as an honor and privilege. I'm proud to have been part of that "first wave" of fandom...and proud to still count myself as a fan today.This year is a great year to be a fan! Why? Because Rick has a new CD coming out on July 29 entitled "Venus In Overdrive." You can get more information, as well as hear the first single off that CD entitled "What's Victoria's Secret" if you go to http://www.rickspringfield.comLyrics:You're my guardian AngelI once wrote you in a letterNow I'm all grown up, supposedly matureI really should know betterOh, you're a man who's out of my leagueIn fact, you're way off the chart!But it still doesn't stop meFrom wanting to give you my heart....You were my hero! You taught meTo speak to the sky when I was just a childAnd there's still something special about youStill drive me, still drive meAfter all these years, still drive me wild!Though I will myself to stay calmTry to control the thoughts raging through my headAll it takes is just one look at youCondition RED!Well I finally got to meet youAfter all these yearsTried to act all prim and properNot like a teenybopper...on the verge of tears!I know you're unavailableNo one has to tell me twice!But your smile is still perfectly capableOf melting me faster than ice!People say those feelings are simply lustThey say it's wrong, and I should stay awayBut you're someone in whom I would put my whole trustI'll treasure meeting, I'll treasure meetingTill my dying dayThough I will myself to stay calmTry to control the thoughts raging through my headAll it takes is just one look at youCondition RED!Condition RED!!Condition RED!!!

Tracks taken from 1989's "Follow The Blind"The band was formed in the mid 1980's in Krefeld, Germany, by Hansi Kürsch (vocals, bass) and Andre Olbrich (guitar). Before calling themselves Blind Guardian, the band released two demos under the name Lucifer's Heritage in 1985 and 1986. In the first few years, the band underwent chaotic lineup changes: Markus Dörk (guitar) and Thomen Stauch (drums) were replaced by Christof Theißen and Hans-Peter Frey, respectively. Finally, in 1987 Marcus Siepen joined and Thomen came back to form the lineup which would stay consistent for the next 18 years.After Lucifer's Heritage signed a contract with No Remorse Records, the band changed its name to Blind Guardian to avoid any speculations about satanism. They released their debut album Battalions of Fear in 1988, which was essentially a speed metal album heavily influenced by Helloween. These two German bands had close ties, and Helloween founder Kai Hansen made a guest appearance on Blind Guardian's second LP, Follow the Blind (1989), where the band began leaning towards power metal. Their third LP, Tales from the Twilight World (1990), had a much more melodic and "epic" feeling, with usage of choir and classical music influence.Blind Guardian signed with Virgin Records in 1991 and released the album Somewhere Far Beyond (1992), and the live album Tokyo Tales (1993). Flemming Rasmussen, former Metallica producer, began working with Blind Guardian, producing Imaginations from the Other Side (1995) and The Forgotten Tales (1996), an album that contained half covers and half original work.In 1998 Blind Guardian released their epic album Nightfall in Middle-Earth. "Complete with anthemic choruses, spoken word story lines, and plenty of bombastic power metal punctuating every dramatic turn", says All Music Guide's Vincent Jeffries, "Nightfall in Middle-Earth is perhaps Blind Guardian's most triumphant". A concept album based on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Blind Guardian's music demonstrated some folk rock influence, but also featured heavy use of Queen-style layered backing vocals. It was also the last Blind Guardian album produced by Rasmussen.A Night at the Opera, named after the eponymous Queen album, was released four years after. On this album, the band's sound lacked almost all influence of their original speed metal. Power and progressive metal abound, with over the top orchestral backing and a consistent vocal and guitar layering throughout. Though not a true concept album, many of the lyrics dealt with the common themes of religion and relations between human and divine powers. It was followed by a live album in 2003 and a DVD, Imaginations Through the Looking Glass (2004), which was the last recorded Blind Guardian material to feature Thomen Stauch on drums. He left the band due to musical differences and was replaced by Frederik Ehmke. The first album with Ehmke was A Twist in the Myth, which came out in 2006.Blind Guardian recently participated in the soundtrack for the In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale fantasy movie, which came out in 2008. Hansi Kursch also announced the band's intention to record a theme song for Sacred 2 RPG video game, the upcoming sequel to Sacred. According to recent interviews, the song, titled "Sacred", will not be released until as a bonus track for their next album. Songwriting for their next album has started and at the same time the band is working with the Orchestral Project. It will be decided at a later date wether they release a new album or the Orchestral Project first. However there won't be a new album released before 2010 in any caseDISCLAIMER: Standard disclaimers apply. I encourage viewers to buy the original content, both the music and the photos, from the owners. THIS IS A FAN-TRIBUTE ONLY!

Taj Mahal is an all time love story. This is the first time that a theatre piece is conceived on Taj Mahal and Ravindran Drama Group is proud to present it to our Singaporean audience as part of its 20th Anniversary. Taj Mahal is an inspiring piece of work that takes us back to the Mogul period during the 16th century. This period play is created to depict the episodes of various characters in showcasing the respect for Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, the intricacies of relationship and the ploys to supersede one another politically. The Mogul period is best known for its Hindustani and Persian music influence in North India and Kathak types of dance were a great favourite among the kings. This play attempts to show these aspects culturally and creatively.

I made my pilgrimage to Paris, France and visited Jim Morrison's grave site from the Doors. It was a beautiful cemetery and he will always live on in everyone's minds as someone who really influenced music at that time, and forever.
