Devil Woman was a song recorded by Cliff Richard in 1976. It made it up to #9 on the UK charts. In the USA it made it as far as number six on the Billboard Hot 100. It was Richard’s biggest US success. Here’s more information on the song.

Devil Woman

A man named Terry Britten penned it. He was a well known song writer whose work was performed by people like Michael Jackson. He also wrote well known songs for some hit movies including Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome. Terry was the guitarist in Cliff’s famous recording of Devil Woman. The song was recorded at the famous Abbey Road, a frequent recording studio used by the Beatles.

This song is a story. A man seems to be cursed after meeting a strange stray cat with evil eyes. He becomes concerned and eventually seeks the help of a medium, a gypsy woman, to remove the curse. But it turns out the cat didn’t curse him. It was a ploy by the gypsy woman to bring the man into her power.

Many songs like Devil Woman that have a story to tell are sparsely produced. They aren’t complex. The tune is simple and not many instruments are used. Devil Woman is no different. It needed only a single guitar, an electric piano, some drums and other percussion. And of course the singer.

The combination of major and minor chords in Devil Woman aren’t usual for pop songs. Songs at the time didn’t use more than an octave like it did.

Devil Woman has been covered by others. One of these is the Accused. The band was founded in 1981 in Washington. They perform splatter rock. Many of the sounds in their music are made to mimic the sounds from the horror movies that they loved. These include shrieking lyrics, and chainsaw like guitar riffs.

Cradle of Faith also performed Devil Woman. They were an English extreme metal band. The band said they played any kind of metal. The song fit them nicely.

Devil Woman is a seductive song.

Spirit in the Sky is the song composed by Norman Greenbaum in the late 60s that made history all around the world by lyrics, tune and cultural impact as well. The writer of Spirit in the Sky was inspired by a TV show where he listened to some gospel singing, and it took him no more than fifteen minutes to write the lyrics. It refers to the afterlife and the Christian experience in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Though, Greenbaum is Jewish and identifies himself as such, the Christian dimension of the song did not remain hidden even if the author claimed that his intention was not that of imbuing the song with religious fervor.

Spirit In The Sky

Greenbaum had the intention of reaching broader audiences when he referred to sin in Spirit in the Sky, particularly since the concept of wrong doing is found in all cultures and religions, and it is far from being limited or regulated by Christianity only. In terms of sound print, the guitar is the dominant note in the rhythm of the song. It seems that the producers used a Fender Telecaster with a fuzz box so as to generate the preponderance of the guitar sound.

The characteristics of Spirit in the Sky are amazing by the innovation in the sound: psychedelic rock music mixes with gospel in a combination of tambourines, hand clapping, great drum playing and distorted electric guitar. Though Spirit in the Sky became a hit, the start was rather small as the record company showed was skeptical about its success because of the unusual lyrics and the originality of the style. Spirit in the Sky saved the album it was part of, since it followed two other single releases that had very little public success. Somehow, the producers needed to save the project, but even so they were far from anticipating the success of the song.

Spirit In The Sky

John Lennon, the famous Beatles member, expressed his great liking of Spirit in the Sky, while the Rolling Stones gave it only a 333rd place in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Even so, the song hit in the charts in Australia, Canada, USA and United Kingdom, and it made a statement that was to become the foundation stone of glam rock evolution and the application of electronics in modern music making. Due to its content and sound uniqueness, Spirit in the Sky met the necessities of film making too, being included in over twenty movies.

Are you considering the purchase of a new saxophone? Here I will provide some saxophone basics that might help you in your search.

Saxophones were invented in the 1840s. They were invented by Adolphe Sax in Belgium. You won’t usually find them used in typical or classic music but they have become extremely popular for use in pop music. Because of their unique tones, they are utilised in many different musical genres. It has often been commented a similar sound of saxophone is a human voice, which is another reason why they produce such an emotionally charged sound.

Nowadays most saxophones are extremely economically priced allowing the average person to purchase and learn to play them. The top of the range models are normally very expensive, but with a little investigation it’s easy to find budget versions as well. Saxophones are normally made from brass and coated with a colored or clear and lacquer, even though they are classed as woodwind instruments. The lacquer not only protects the metal but it also gives it a fine look. The more common type is manufactured from yellow brass which comprises 30% zinc and 70% copper. But there are also other materials used to make them such as gold brass and silver brass. You will even find gold and silver plated saxophones but of course, these are not cheap.

Standard saxophones are soprano, alto, tenor and the baritone. Other more unusual types are the mezzo soprano, bass, conn-o-sax, contrabass, f baritone, c soprano, sopranino and quite a few more as well. Each different type of saxophone is a little different to play and many saxophone players find that even though they they have mastered the one type, it doesn’t mean that they will necessarily find the others easy to play.

There are many places where you can purchase a saxophone online, but as with any expensive item be sure to do your due diligence on the seller first in order to avoid being ripped off.

In the landscape of autism-advocating celebrities so familiar to mainstream America, and mainstream media – Jenny McCarthy, Amanda Peet, Toni Braxton, etc. – trotting their children out into the spotlight like a never-ending circus show – there is another celeb who’s doing it all differently. And it should be no surprise it’s different, because he himself has Asperger’s, a form of autism, and sees the world differently.

Remember MC Hammer and the fantastic number of albums he sold in the ‘80s? One of the key men behind Hammer was Michael Buckholtz, the platinum record producer. This self-taught multi-instrumentalist, song-writer, producer is currently nearing the end of a 30-day hunger strike to draw national media attention to his cause.

He has two causes.

First, to show the world autism isn’t something limited to children – that autism has been around, a long time, though not nearly as hyped years ago as it is today. And there exists, living and breathing, a whole population of adults coping daily with this condition.

“There have been nationally televised features recently where one of the expert guests asked, ‘So where are all these so-called autistic adults? I don’t see them!’ This kind of misinformation is appalling,” said Buckholtz, “I wish to bring attention to the gross misrepresentation of who autistic people are and what we really act like.”

Buckholtz added, “Many of us are invisible to the general public out of necessity. Mainstream media love to focus on the most severe cases, the tragedy, which becomes the average American’s vision of what autism is With this as the dominant perception, many with autism, whether it be high-functioning or not, are less likely to want their condition revealed to fellow associates, workmates, employers or anyone they come in contact with for fear they may lose a job or damage an important long-term relationship. In short, we blend in as best we can to survive. My hope is to generate massive energy around a humanitarian movement to include autistic adults in the everyday autism conversation because we are here and coping, some of us just barely.”

Michael’s second goal is as the spear-head of a grass-root, non-profit organization, Aid for Autistic Children Foundation, Inc. (www.aacfinc.org), established to raise funds for families who have undergone financial hardship as a result of autism in their families. From the uninsured autistic man who has to go to a hospital and doesn’t know where to turn, to families on the brink of bankruptcy due to treatments and therapies they’ve gone out of pocket to secure, Michael is shining a light on this completely disenfranchised segment of the population that’s at the end of their rope.

Michael continued, “The media driven wrong perception of what autism really is – and the variety of ages of people affected – makes it difficult for the poorest of people coping with autism to have their voices not only heard, but, taken seriously. I’m giving voice to the autism community’s repeated and continued request for this help – which today is virtually non-existent.”

Michael’s convictions are fierce and he’s not at all shy about talking about the trauma he’s lived through growing up autistic, his triumphs and tragedies that are part of an autistic adult’s life. While we’re so accustomed to seeing celeb parents – here’s the real article: a man who is articulate, on a philanthropic tear, smart, talented, African-American, proud of what he’s been able to do so far, and looking to change how we think about autism .

Want to try to exceed his energy for this cause? The only adequate response would be: “U can’t touch this!”

The Devil Went Down to Georgia is a popular song released in 1979 by the Charlie Daniels Band. It’s remained popular for nearly 30 years, and there’s no sign that people will ever grow tired of singing it.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia

The song’s roots are in a melody called “Lonesome Fiddle Blues.” Charlie raised the song an octave and put words to the melody. The Devil Went Down to Georgia Reached number three on the Billboard hot 100. It’s the top all-time seller for songs with the state in the name.

It goes a little like this. The devil goes to Georgia to look for some souls. He’s willing to make deals. He happens upon a young fiddler named Johnny, to whom he offers one of these deals. There will be a fiddle contest. If Johnny wins he receives the golden fiddle upon which the devil plays. It has great value. Johnny bets his soul.

The devil goes first, and he’s a hard act to follow. He has a demonic backup band. Johnny may be in trouble. Johnny’s work with a simple fiddle is even better. When he’s finished playing, there’s no argument. The devil hands over the Golden fiddle. Johnny goads the devil, telling him “I told you once you son of a gun I’m the best there’s ever been,” while challenging him to a rematch at any time. In early versions of the song Johnny curses the devil.

Remakes and parodies soon followed. “El Diablo bajo a Georgia” is a Spanish version. In the cartoon “Futurama” the heroes challenge the robot devil to a similar fiddle contest to save their robot friend. After the robot double plays he’s attacked with the Golden fiddle so the people can escape. There is a good Devil Went Down to Georgia video on YouTube. It’s an amazing animation. Even Charlie Daniels got back in on the fun by recording a sequel with Johnny Cash. It was called “The Devil Comes Back to Georgia”.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia

The Devil Went Down to Georgia is a song that people sing. Give it a try, you’ll know why the title has a ring.

The red nautical star is a modern adaptation of a century-old tattoo. Sailors found their way on the sea guiding themselves by the Southern Cross and the Northern Star; as long as one of these two was visible, the ship was on the right course. Sailors would therefore wear nautical stars on their arms most of the times out of superstition, and to have higher chances to get home safe. The meaning of staying on the right course all the time was also given to the compass star tattoos. This old belief is re-adapted in the new design of the red nautical star.

Nautical Red Star

Just like sailors, soldiers wear the read nautical star too, with the same idea of getting home well in mind. Good decisions, luck and great fortune, bright spirits and a smooth safe life path, these are the expectations behind the tattoo. The upward pointing of the nautical red star indicates a higher outlook on life, but it is often a matter of personal choice. Different tattoo colors can be chose even if black and red represent the classic; green and black, blue and black are very often used too. The red nautical star variant misses the black element as it stresses out the force of life and one’s vital energy.

People choose to attach all sorts of meanings to the red nautical star tattoos and often they also add a distinctive element that sets the design apart from the classical variant. There are red nautical star wearers who have a story to tell about their tattoo. Thus, there are people who express their solidarity with organ donors, others imagine the tattoo as a memento or form of remembrance for a life episode or a person, while others will choose the red nautical star because it influences optimism and vitality.

Nautical Red Star

A nautical red star can be tattooed in any salon, but have a look around the place to see whether it respects quality and safety standards. How large the red nautical star will be depends on how you want to wear it. The arms, the legs and the back make possible the design of a larger nautical star, but many people, especially women would rather go for some little discreet tattoo for embellishing purposes.

Raw Wrestling is a sports entertainment program for World Wrestling Entertainment, now displaying on the United States Network. The RAW trademark is also the brand WWE performers and workers are assigned to. SmackDown and ECW are other WWE programs and brands.

On January 11, 1993, RAW run on USA Network for the 1st time in America. For the next 7 years it remained with USA Network until it was moved to TNN or Spike Television in 2k. The show moved back to USA Network in 2005 and continues displaying on Monday nights, making it a Monday night habit since 1993. Its long history and focus on pay-per-views, makes RAW the flagship program for WWE.

Wars on Monday Night

1995 witnessed the launch of Monday Nitro, a new weekly live wrestling show on TNT from World Championship Wrestling. On September 11, 1995, RAW and Nitro squared off for the 1st time. With taped shows, RAW faced some challenges contesting with a weekly live show. Eric Bischoff, WCW VP recognized the good thing about a live broadcast as he would give away results of RAW’s taped shows on several occasions. The web was also a source of information and results for fans, causing RAW ratings to say no.
WWE, which was then World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ), started displaying live every fortnight until September 1999. Ratings and pay-per-view sales grew and eventually justified displaying a live show weekly.
The beginning of the ratings battle in 1995 to mid-1996 saw RAW and Nitro exchanging victories over the other. In mid-1996, WCW came out with major victories, with the NOW angle as a significant factor, as Monday Nitro enjoyed an eighty-four-week ratings winning run, ending only on Apr thirteen, 1998.
Putting a stop to the Wars

September 25, 2000 saw RAW moving to TNN ( later known as Spike Television ) from USA network. However, the fall in WCW’s revenues forced Time Warner to sell the company to WWF in 2001. Nitro’s final episode aired on March 26, 2001. Vince McMahon kicked off the show with a statement on his recent acquisition of WCW and a simulcast on RAW and TNN concluded the telecast with Vince’s son Shane appearing on Nitro to explain that it was he who actually owned WCW thereby paving the way for WWF’s “Invasion” tagline.

RAW Wrestling’s War name and logo were retired due to people’s sensitivity for the word “War” after the 9/11 attacks.
