BIENVENUTI.. (That's Italian for Welcome)

I have been married, 13 years as of 2010. I have 3 unbelievably wonderful, amazing children. I decided to start a blog because, quite often, I seem to have a hard time shutting off my brain.

I drive my husband nuts at night because I talk and talk and talk... I figured maybe if I typed it out, instead, that my poor husband might not get such an ear full at bed.. He can read it on here if he is so inclined..

My thoughts seem to be pretty random. To most people it seems like I jump around with no rhyme or reason. There usually is a track my mind has taken from getting to point A to point Z or where ever it may stop in between!..

Anyways, I hope someone finds my Random Ramblings interesting, aside from myself. Thanks for coming by!

Rock Star INXS part 1- Marty Casey

 [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f112/Hopeful_heart/Reality%20TV/inxs_rockstar_L.jpg[/IMG]

 In 2005 INXS went on the hunt for a new lead singer for their band. They held a reality tv competition, sort of like American Idol but much better. My favorites all landed in the top 5 with one of them eventually landing in the top 2. The top 2 consisted of Marty Casey and J.D. Fortune. J.D. won, much to my dismay. From what I understand, though, they eventually booted him out of the band because of a drug addiction.. I hope he was able to clean up, I never wished him ill will despite him being one of my least favorites... 

Anyways, Marty Casey had a band of his own prior to the show and after the show, made an album with it. He was offered the lead singing position for L.A. Guns and took that. They did a big tour but I don't think that they ever released an album. I am not even sure if he is still fronting for them. 

On the show, he was assigned Brittany Spears' song Baby One More Time... He totally rocked it! He made it sound raw and almost dark... It was pretty awesome. Then for his original song on there he sang a rough version of Trees. The album version is a bit different, a little more polished, but every version he has sung has been good.. It is my kids favorite song of his.


The following link is to one of my other favorite songs of his called Casualty. It contains one of my favorite lines ever sang in a song or said in a poem. 

"We're drifting through the questions
Swimming for the answers"

This is video of a live performance not recorded professionally.. I really like watching him perform.

Just for kicks, I am also adding his version of Baby One More Time. When he sings his mouth moves kind of weird. I don't know if it is him enunciating more than most or what... 



Next up; MiG Ayesa...
