Beattles Rockband
By now, the word Rock band is as common as ipod, and in some cases evokes memories of legendary battles in basements with friends. Therefore there's no need to describe Rock band. Commercially it is a hit, giving avid gamers the opportunity to rock out like a rock star, or at least that's how it feels. But Rock band would not be Rock band without a Beatles song! Wait, why did The Beatles breakup? Money, copyrights, and money from copyrights....So, Rock band did not include a Beatle song, no surprise there. Until......yes....It was made to be, the Beatles Rock band arrived. For some, it might bring flashbacks of times past, but for most new players it will have them singing Beatle songs for the next couple of weeks. The phenomenon that was The Beatles re surges once again in America. The music they produced undoubtedly is some of the best ever recorded. Hopefully it will inspire a new age of musicians to take up instruments. Rock on!

ESPN against SOCCER!
Has anyone heard of soccer in the United States? Don't answer that! We can thank ESPN for annihilating us with non-stop analysis of major league baseball highlights and in-depth coverage of college football defensive schemes. Or is it maybe that ESPN has no good U.S. soccer news to report?...Is not the U.S. team qualifying for the World Cup deserving of some expert coverage, or a front page that last more than 5 hours? If you're into soccer and have gone to the ESPN page, you know that the only link to soccer is about the same size as this font!..."Wait a minute!", you inject, "what about ESPNSoccernet?"...Have you gone too that page? It will take you about 10 minutes to find any substantial information on the status of the U.S. soccer team. In these search days that's ridiculous!!!...Their coverage on European Soccer is the best in the business, hands down! In the end it all comes down to what makes money. In Europe, soccer is gold! Here in the states soccer is as relevant as the NFL's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a winning touchdown is scored!

Comedian of the Year
Demetri Martin......ever heard of him? Most comedians seem to follow a script, a set of ideas. Most of these ideas have long been thought of. Demetri Martin on the other hand has revolutionized the way stand up comedy should be done. He's not infamously famous like Jerry Seinfeld, or overly charismatic like George Lopez, yet he fills a void. Martin throws out a an agglomeration of random ideas turned jokes, and through the strings of a guitar he seems to weave them together. Its as if he sits in room , or walks around the city and meditates on how he can turn something ordinary in life, into something funny. If he had the brains of an inventor it would Thomas Edison's. His comedy is oddly as it may sound educational at times, and makes try to look at the world in a sarcastically new way! Look him up on YouTube under "Demetri Martin stand up".

Peace and Security
In his acceptance speech, barrack Obama mentioned the words "peace and security", together in a single sentence. In the bible, these words have a powerful meaning, dictating the start of the great tribulation that is to come to the world. Obama's words have no connection with that scripture since he has yet to bring peace and security to this world. It makes me wonder though, if Obama is successful during his presidency in his effort to bring temporary peace and security, will he restate those words in some future speech. If so, then he will ultimately be fulfilling a bible prophecy regarding the end of days. Its another sign of the times.

Why we can't stop drugs
Illicit drug abuse is just one facet of a larger global problem. An overwhelming influence for evil, violence, and cruelty grips the whole world. The Bible says: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." (1 John 5:19) That "wicked one" is identified by the apostle John at Revelation 12:9: "So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."
In addition to his own weaknesses, man has had to contend with this powerful enemy. Satan is the one who caused man's downfall at the start. He is determined to bring further degradation on mankind and to turn them away from God. Mankind's abuse of drugs appears to be a part of his strategy. He is acting with great anger because he knows that "he has a short period of time."—Revelation 12:12.
