Just Feeling A Little Off Today But He Always Makes Me Smile

For some reason today I'm just feeling a little sad now I don't know what for but sometimes there is just an haunting sadness that washes over me at the most random times. Now yes I know that I could tell somebody like a friend, or a family member, and or even just type it all out here is which what I have chosen to do. Yet it's not for any kind of reason I'm not venting to a friend or family member but often I can't describe what I'm feeling so it makes talking too somebody else very difficult. So whenever I get like this I turn too an song, TV show, or a movie to help me fall out of reality but to fall into another story that switches off my problems and soothes my mind. Today's choice was Chocolat it's about a women and a daughter who move too a small little village in France and she decides to open up a chocolate shop within the town but much to the Mayor's disliking it becomes a hit with the towns people. The women becomes a helping hand to many of the people in the town to bringing back the spicy in a fizz out relationship, saving a women who has a abusive husband, and also bringing a sense of joy to a grandmother by meeting her grandson for the first time. Also the story goes on that women meets a man named Roux (Johnny Depp) who she falls for and he shows her that being yourself is the greatest person you can ever be. Overall all it's one of my favorite movies of his so when days like this come around somehow he can always put a smile on my face.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3wmh7w7iMQ- This is a interview with Johnny just watching it brings a smile to my face. In some many ways I think he is just an amazing person but the way he speaks like he really thinks about what he wants to express and I wish more people took the time to think through what they want to say because then maybe our world wouldn't be so harsh.

Love, Tay

Album Review- Hollywood Vampires


The band called the Hollywood Vampires include three very famous men which are Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and Johnny Depp. Now the origin of the name is actually the name for a famous club of rockstars who would lurk in the darkness of the Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood in the 70's. As for where the idea came up is that both Alice and Joe wanted to pay tribute to their deceased friends and idols that meant a lot too them. Many of these songs that are on the album are covers now trust me I know what everyone thinks when musicians do a cover album it's basically a sign of saying their done in the music game but not with this album. It's a monster of badass, sexy, and dangerous rock n roll that I think the mainstream really needs at the moment. I'm so sick of hearing that Rock Is Dead when actually it's not. A bunch of new bands are coming up and showing respect to their influences. Back to the music on this great record the first song I heard was Whole Lotta Love now I love the original by Led Zeppelin so I was a bit nervous but oh my god! the start of it is this slow, dark alluring with the opening line " You need cooling baby I'm not fooling let me send you back too schooling" then boom into the rest of the song with these screaming loud guitars but with some of the notes being strung out to get a really cool sound too it. Next was I Got A Line On You was a song I didn't know but it's by a band called Spirit. It brings back the element of Punk Rock because it's just all about the energy and live performance which is what Punk was based off on. After was My Dead Drunk Friends that was actually written by all the members of the band. Too me it was the perfect brew of Alice in the way he words lyrics when he sings and the deep low backing vocals of Joe and paired with Johnny's guitar playing it really is something special. That song is where you put on you're best outfit and walk out with this attitude of I can take on the world. Likewise is Schools Out/Another Brick Wall is straight up a badass anthem that was created by the master mind of Alice is saying everything that a teenager feels towards life. On a few different occasions Johnny has played live with Alice and the way he plays lead guitar on this song shows that he is serious about this and it isn't just another actor trying to be like " Oh Look What Else I Can Do" type of thing he truly has a rockstar like aura about him. Lastly is the song My Generation by The Who this cover is just pure fun and attitude. The songs that I have spoken about in this post are personally my favorites on the record but overall the whole album is just pure magic and I love it. I'm hoping that they will tour this because I'm for sure buying myself a ticket! - Taylor
