Europe under Snow and Fire!

Eastern Europe continues to be hit with one of the worst winter in decades - snow and cold that is mind-numbing - and 500 or so killed so far.

Greece was under violent protest and fire today as the Greece Government voted to bring in austerity programs, which with cut many wages by 20 percent - 15,000 Government jobs have to go with another 150 thousand by 2015. Some are saying it will not help and the default in its loans will finally come - time will tell, but if Greece wants more bail-out money it has no choice but to bring in tough austerity programs.

One guy tonight blamed the constant bombardment of the press and cameras on Whitney Houston in bringing about her death. Very much way too simplistic a comment.

Roy Rogers in his 12 years as the number one box-office cowboy star, was ALWAYS being photographed everywhere he went, and he thrived on it all, never bothered him one bit. He was always happy to smile for the camera.

As they interviewed one British young lady on the street, said: "Her life in how she lived caught up with her." That is the sum of it .... wrong decisions, wrong ways to live, bad choices, wrong company ..... can and often does bring you to the end of your life much faster.

Connie Francis from the 1950s .... is without doubt still the best female singer of all time (you can hear dozens of her songs on my Youtube - 1horsesrcool). She also had her troubles in life, and her Dad had to commit her to the Psych hospital to get her healed. She hated her Dad for doing it at the time, but she was helped, or she did help herself and turned a u-turn in her life, and now loves her Dad for doing what he did. Connie is still alive today.

Now you younger people - you want to hear a truly remarkable female voice - from pop to rock 'n roll, to swing, to jazz, to country, to great love songs ..... go to my Youtube - 1horsesrcool - and listen to Connie Francis - the GREATEST female singing voice of all time.

  1. Dear Keith,
    On behalf of Connie Francis´s fans here in Brazil and worldwide, I want to thank you for your beautiful words about her.
    Connie is,no doubt, one of the most talented stars the world has ever known. We feel privileged to have her as an idol and source of inspiration.

    Kind regards.
