Old Rock Stars Never Die

Freddie Mercury died today 22 years ago but his music will be with us forever


As a last gift knowing he was going to die he recorded the album Innuendo between 1889 and 1990 
If you hear those lyrics you'll see Freddie's farewell. It's an album full of positive messages and living the now but also how AIDS was slowly killing him.

But although he passed away November 24th 1991 he will life forever
It's the only one who has sing in two Olympic Games... after dead (Barcelona 1992 and London 2012)



"I wont be a rock star, I will be a legend"

Can you fell the Wind of Change?

Yesterday (November 9th) 24 years ago took place one of the most important moments in human history.
The Berlin Wall Fall
Erected in the death of night (August 13th 1961), was both the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and communism during the Cold War. 
It also came to symbolize the "Iron Curtain" that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc for 28 years keeping East germans from fleeing to the West.

The fall of the wall paved the way for german reunification, with formally concluded on October 3rd 1990.

But the wall was not impenetrable, around 5.000 people successfully crossed it.


Many people contributed to the Berlin Wall Fall but it's important to highlight three of them whose influence was decisive: Johannes Paulus II, Ronald Reagan (US president) and Mikhail Gorbachev (Soviet Union Leader). 


"Wind of Change" (Crazy World album) was written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of the german rock band "Scorpions" it's a power ballad  inspired by the social and political situation East Europe was living.

In 1988 the group's 10th album was released and they promoted it with the Savage Amusement Tour which included 10 performances in the URSS. Becoming this way the first rock group that penetrated the "Iron Curtain".

The "wind of change" atmosphere they feel during this tour was what really made Klaus write the song.

It talks about change, and how all human beings should stop for a moment and think if what we are doing to each other is what you would do to your brother (as we all share the same surname "homo sapiens"). It looks for a world without "walls" or any kind of barriers where kids are aloud to dream away.

Livin' in the now

Years go on amazingly fast and most of the times we don't even realize about it because we're thinking about other stuff that might not be as important as being happy, it's important to realize from time to time that life is nonsense without fun.




You can be a star, you can break the mould, you just need to gleam. 

Remember to shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars.

The World Is Just Awesome !

First of all I have to apologize because I know it's been a while since my last post, but i've been extremely busy these days

Any way it was earth's day on monday
I don't know if you usually listen to the nature, but it's just amazing.
As the discovery channel add said few years ago The World Is Just AWESOME


I'm proud of being part of this little planet that we call earth and i love every part of it.
It might be true that we're destroying it little by little and that all those new technologies are supposed to substitute part of it's nature, but I don't really believe about those predictions, I do believe we're changing our philosophy and people nowadays it's more concerned about what it means to live here, and it's consequences.

We live in this little planet, and next time you'll go out at night just look up to all those starts and planets, and thank God for living in such a great little planet.
