some notes about Led Zeppelin

Everyone has heard Stairways to heaven, Whola Lotta Love, Tangerine, Dancing
Days, some of the most famous music of Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin is the name of the group created by Jimmy Page (guitar), John
Bonhan (drums), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards) and Robert Plant
(vocals) in 1968.

The band was one of the most famous bands of the 1970's - beside Deep
Purple, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and others. Although Led Zeppelin had
created the heavy metal, it became famous by it mix of styles like
rockabilly, reggae, blues, jazz. Its albuns sold more than 300 millions
issues all around the world and the only group to have all his albuns in the
top ten hit parade.

The group has finished in 1980 when the drumer John Bonhan died but they
join again in some ocasions like the live aid concert in 1985, with Chic in
the drums, and two years later with Jason Bonhan in the drums celebrating
the 40th birthday of the Atlantic Records.

Before the creation of the band, Jimmy Page had played in The Yardbirds, a
group of blues. With the end of the yardbirds, Page joined the new band.

Some notes about Liz Taylor



I have read some lines in a blog: today, is Elizabeth Taylor's birthday. It means that she is piscian (like me and the doll Barbie). Been born in the same horoscop of Liz it is for me a great honor. She is one of the greatest movie star we have ever heard.

Born in february 27th, 1932, in Hampstead, London, UK. She started working in cinema when she was a young girl and has never stopped. Her long carreer has resulted in two Oscar, a Jean Hersholt Humanitary Award (this prize is also given by the American Academy of Movie Science and Arts), and many other awards.

In spite of the fact Liz won the Oscar of best actress by Butterfield 8 and Who's affraid of Virginia Wolf, she became more famous by her role in Cleopatra. She is a very talentous actress, with a long filmography, but people knows much more about her personal and love life.

She got married many times. Her most famous husband was Richard Burton, with whon she married twice and worked in many films during the 60's years. But she is also involved with filantropic purposals, she was one of the first person to fight against AIDS.

Places to go

 
I have been to Eslovaquia. But only for a couple of hours, during my trip from Polland to Hungary. The country have been created after the division of the ex-Tchecoslovaquia. Part of it, is now the Tchec Republic. Part is Eslovaquia. Bratislava is the capital, and the Danub cross its limits.

notes about the closest things to crazy and Katie Melua

Fatima Dannemann
 
When the soap "Senhora do Destino" was broadcasted, some years ago, one music call many people atention:  the closest things to crazy. Because this song, its performer, Katie Melua, became well known among brazilians. We all ask, who is this singer with such a sweet voice, sing ballads like this or reviving some old hits like "just when i need you the most"?

Katie Melua was born in Georgia, in the ex-URSS, in september 16, 1984. In 1993, she moved with her parents to the North Ireland, where her father got a job as a heart surgeon. The family lived in Belfast for five years before moving to South East London. After her GCSEs, Katie joined the Brit School for Performing Arts where she undertook a BTEC and Music A-level. Composer/producer Mike Batt paid a visit to the school. Katie signed to Batt's record label Dramatico, but stayed at the Brit School to complete her studies where she graduated with distinction in July 2003.

Her first album was Calling off the search - which contains "the clothest thing to crazy" - who became a megahit. After, she produced Piece by Piece, with the hit Nine Million Bycicles, and Pictures, released two years ago, which has delighted her legions of fans, confirmed Katie's status as a unique and remarkable vocalist, and revealed the third chapter in what is destined to be a long musical career.

She has been dedicating to charity proposal like famine people, suffering children and so on. Because that, she has traveled around the world and has met Nelson Mandela in person in South Africa visiting his AIDS charity. She also like danger and radical sports like car races, and because her tastes, she has been considered an adrenaline junker. She became a british citzen in 2005 and can speak english, georgian, and other languages.

To sing along with her:

The Closest Thing to Crazy

Katie Melua

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

[CHORUS]

In the desert, one year ago



Tunisia, north of Africa, the gate of Sahara, the ancient land of Dido, Anibal and the old Carthague. I have been there for two weeks. Travelling around Tunisia, I could see a whole new world. World of tons and tons of sand, stone, salt, but much more than this.
Tunisia is the cross over off muslim traditions, ancient roman history, exotic music and food...
