Have you found the music that inspires you? London 2012 Closing Ceremony. Inspire a Generation

If anybody suggest you the possibility of attending to an event where you would be able to listen sounds as exclusive and important for the music story as The Beatles, John Lennon, Queen, Freddie Mercury, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Who, Bee Gees or la E.L.O all of them with the great work of such artist as Emili Sande, The Pet Shop Boys, Mandess, Kate Bush, George Michael, Spice Girls, Oasis, Annie Lenox, Kaiser Chiefs, Fatboy Slim, Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Taio Cruz o Take That the answer you should give could not be other but: when and where?

The closing ceremony of the XXX Olympic Games of the Modern Era was the best song that could render to the Coubertin Olympic spirit sealed a century ago because it's the music and no other ones the unique art able to rise the human spirit to the point of putting up to 90,000 people to the rhythm of "Imagine" by Lennon.
Bitish people can and should be proud of a nation of vital importance in recent centuries when it comes to music. The night of the 12th of July of 2012 will remain etched in the memory of all of those who love the sport but especially in that of all who wish to be on a level playing field, if possible with good background music.


The strokes on the Big Ben's bells announced the beginning of the end of this Olympic Games. Sir. Winston Churchill, The Union Jack and the Monthy Pithon were only examples of what was about to start.




(Emeli Sande - read all about it)

Two masterpieces of music that in two hundred years will be studied at schools as we now study the classics (Beethoven, Wagner, Chopin ...), placed upside down to respectable:

The "Imagine" by Lennon and the wonderful weirdness that is the "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen thundered strongly the Olympic Stadium and the  minds of nearly a hundred thousand souls were immediately abducted by a halo of basically peace, an immense joy and happiness shared.
The music is this and more

"Wish you where here" by Pink Floyd, the hulking great song self-titled album of 1975, "You Should Be Dancing" by Bee Gees, symphonic rock of ELO, a new Queen song, "Wi will rock you" (very big moment of the show), to finally listen live to the legendary British rock band the Who as magnificent climax to the 17 days of Olympic Games



I only regret the absence of such bands as The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode or Iron Maiden.
Even thought it was an outstanding light show but especially this time an outstanding performance of sounds


It's simply incredibly how great genius never die and even after death are able to make millions of persons sing with them.

Can I Bite That Apple  ?


3 Apples have changed our lives more than we can imagine.
1st one vas eva's apple, 2nd one was that one which  felt on Isaac Newton's head and the 3rd one was the apple invented by a visionary genius who died one year ago, October 5th, that genius was Steve Jobs .

Steve reinvented the hole world of communication, he started in his garage with a friend and end up having one of the most successful companies in the world.
Nowadays people remember him as the genius he was.
But i want to remember him as the person that believe that he was going to be able to connect the dots in the future looking backwards .

As the one who found the way for making sophisticated things based on very simples ideas.

But specially for being the person who found what he loved to do, he dedicated his life to what he though it was great job.


Today apple remembers him with this memorial tribute, and Tim Cook, nowadays apple's CEO, have publish on apple's home page a message saying how this first year without Steve has been difficult, and the legacy he lead us.



He really enjoyed what he did, if you watch any of the apple's presentations (or Keynotes) you'd see that he is really happy, maybe because he was crazy, but as he said: "The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do it."

Why can't any of us be crazy??
