Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To
by Simon inadmit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.
we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?
what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

And, ,this is kind of related to the topic. If you want to watch a good movie, watch "Pontiac Moon", which stars Ted Danson, his wife, Mary (?) Steenburgen, and a child actor named Ryan Todd. It relates to the Moon landing, and father and son trying to get to the Spires of the Moon monument in an old Pontiac Chief. Great music in the movie, too! I recommend it! Best Regards.

Yes, I sure do. I also, was 15 years old, the Summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school. I mentioned this in another thread, but I had spent the final day of a 7-day International Assembly, at Dodger Stadium. My parents stayed home that day, to take care of my older niece, but I arrived home just in time to watch the TV broadcast of the event. It was interesting, to say the least. Best Regards, all

Nope, did not drop out of high school. My parents insisted that I should at least finish high school and get my high school diploma. That was back in 1972. And, for the most part, I DID enjoy high school and did the best that I could.
But, a lot of my contemporaries at that time dropped out, with the idea of taking some of "correspondence school" to get their diploma. The mindset then was that school, even high school, would somehow "corrupt" a person, and hey, the "end" was so near. They had to spend the time preaching, and not waste time in high school.
But, you know what? For the most part, they never completed their correspondence school and obtained their diploma.
I remember going to a small congregation picnic, later that Summer after graduating, with those contemporaries of mine at the picnic. And, they all congratulated me for having graduated from high school. A lot of them admitted to me that they did not "like" school, not because of some corrupting influence, but they just didn't like one particular teacher. That was reason enough to quit school! Ah, well, such is life. Best Regards, all!

50 Years since the first moon landing
by eyeslice2 inin july of 1969, i was 16 years old and was pretty excited by the prospect that the us would shortly land a man on the moon.
however, i remember, vividly and older brother at the time confidently stating that man would never walk on the moon, quoting psalms 115 - "as for the heavens, they belong to jehovah.
but the earth he has given to the sons of man.

Greetings, all! Myself, I was 15 years old at the time. And, that day, guess what? I had just attended the 7th & final day of that year's International Assembly, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. I got home that evening, just in time to watch the adventure on TV. I had no doubt that humans had put to use marvelous technology to get to the Moon, or, Luna, so I have never been one to believe the "conspiracy theories" that it was all staged in some studio somewhere. But, you know Folks, it's always fascinated me, that in the entire history of humankind, just a "handful" of people have ever had the experience of viewing Planet Earth from the vantage point of that body out there in space, called the Moon (Luna) Most people, in the history of the human race have looked up at night, and looked at the Moon. But, only a few have looked back from "up there" back at Earth. I am pleased that images have been recorded on television, and photographically.
I plan to watch "Chasing The Moon", next month, on my local PBS TV station.
Space exploration is "humbling" That leads into another thing that I have thought about. That is the short video, which you can view on the Internet, called, "The Pale Blue Dot." It's a photo of Earth, as captured by one of the Voyager spacecrafts, from billions of miles away from the Earth. Carl Sagan had requested officials of NASA that the spacecraft turn its camera around, to photograph Earth, from that distance. That pale blue, dot, suspended in a light beam, as photographed from billions of miles away, was....US! Our home...our planet. It is a very humbling video/photo to watch, with Mr. Sagan's thoughts about it. It you've never seen it/heard it, try to do that. Best Regards, Everyone.

Anyway, Folks, it's on my "bucket list", to attend a concert by Yanni. Perhaps some day.

No, never have been to one of his concerts, but I'd LIKE to. Yanni's music, to me, is VERY refreshing and stimulating. And, he and I are the same age, having been born in 1954. The very first CD of his music that I bought, was the "Live At The Acropolis" album; and I've bought several of his CDs since that one. I even have the combo DVD/CD of that concert, "Live At The Acropolis". His music always enthralls me. Best Regards, everyone.
