Talking about Queen's performance at 85's Live Aid had me wanting to see their set again and again, more so their second song of the night, "Radio Ga Ga" from Queen's 1984 album, The Works (that single reached #2 in the UK and #16 in the US). A shorter, more up-tempo version was played at Live Aid (album version, 5:49, Live Aid version, 4:10). Freddie Mercury's epic live shows; including his dominating on-stage presence and absolute control of the crowd are still unmatched. Watch and you'll see what I mean with Queen's Live Aid performance of "Radio Ga Ga".

Freddie Mercury

Born: Farrokh Bulsara on September 5th, 1946 in Stone Town, Zanzibar

Jacques Villeneuve, Canada's poster boy for F1 racing, has had his ups and his downs...does this count as a down??? Be careful as you're about to hear Jacques...SING! His new CD, Private Paradise, will be out February 19 (not even new release Tuesday, good plan!). A big thanks goes to Elvis Stojko as he got this athlete turned "singer" ball rolling. Thanks JV for giving everyone hope that no matter how bad you are at singing, you just need to be famous, or have cash :)

Jacques Villeneuve - "The Ones"

Have a listen and for more info, you really want more info??? Alright, check out Jacques web-site...when I call him Jacques, I kinda feel like we're buddies...so lets change that, go check out Jacques Villeneuve's web-site...there, better.

Think for two seconds about what would take you back to your childhood.......think about all those things that make you feel like a kid again.........as much as we shun television, it's still given us a few darn good memories and here is a prime example of just that.

"The Log Driver's Waltz" is a Canadian folk song, written by Wade Hemsworth. The most famous version of this song was preformed by Kate and Anna McGarrigle for the 1979 animated film by the National Film Board. Enjoy and show your kids a true piece of Canadian heritage.

Jerry Lee Lewis, did he fuel the punk rock era?! Such a true spirit of music and if you think it's a stretch, then watch his first live television appearance on the Steve Allen Show then you may think otherwise. Enjoy and rock 'n roll!
