10 Songs and Music Videos Never to Broadcast Again


Everybody listens to music daily either driving home and to work or as a background at home. So, I can say that music plays an important role in our everyday life. For that reason there are lots of complaints on the issue. The number one complaint is repetition. The same songs are broadcasted over and over again. Below is the list of good, even awesome and super popular songs that still have become really annoying due to excessive broadcasting.
•    Hotel California – The Eagles. One of the most recognizable songs in the history. Still who keeps on listening to the same stuff for decades? This single is definitely outdated.

•    Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is a bane of every modern rock radio station. And the problem is not the song itself (by the way, it is gorgeous), but the number of times it has been broadcasted. Everybody who listens to radio or watches music videos have heard it at least 1000 times yet. That seems to be enough.

•    Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin. It has to be the most overplayed song in the history of broadcasting. There were times when the single closed every grade school dance, but that was so long ago. Led Zeppelin does not make new music any more, and the old tracks have to be thrown away.

•    You might blame me for my choice but the next song in this list is We Are the Champions, or We Will Rock You – Queen. The song itself is one of the best and the most successful in the history, yet it is high time to say it goodbye. It has the right to sound at stadiums but not on your way to work.

Modern world is changing rapidly that is why I can see no reason to stay in the same place for decades in music industry. Let’s go ahead!

Jeff Baxter Video - Guitar vs Politics


Let’s put aside risky and dangerous moments enjoyed with Megawoosh Video: Fake or Truth and talk about more pleasant and relaxing things. What about guitar, for example? You know exploring YouTube I came across multiple guitar lessons from Jeff Baxter. That made me remember about magnificent and fascinating sounding of this instrument. Unfortunately, I never managed to learn playing the guitar, but I feel so inspired when I listen to his excellent guitar performance.

Just some additional information: Jeff Baxter is a famous American guitarist. The most renowned moments in his career were in 1970s when he used to play in The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan rock bands. By the way, Jeff has a funny nickname of “Skunk”. Origin of the nickname is not known, and Jeff prefers not to talk about it.

But the most surprising fact is that Jeff chairs Congressional Advisory Board on missile defence and has been working recently as a defence consultant. To tell the truth, I have always imagined rock musicians being rather peculiar and indifferent to social life, and all the more to politics. Well, that is what exceptions exist for – so that to confirm existence of a rule.

So, Jeff Baxter has a diverse career. He made his appearance in a psychedelic pop band Ultimate Spinach, later on he played with the rock bands I mentioned above, and finally in the year of 2001 he took up politic career as a defence analyst. I would describe him as a gifted person that is successful both in politics and music. By the way, he has 8 platinum albums, 17 gold ones, and 2 Grammy awards.

In spite of Jeff’s outstanding personality and magnificent guitar performance, his online presence is very small. Neither sites nor blogs are dedicated to the musician, only online video clips and tapes are available. So, let’s enjoy them.
