Happy 100th Birthday, Perry Como
Posted by admin / Under Music Sequencer
On the afternoon of May 12, just six days before his 89th birthday, Perry Como fell asleep in an easy chair in the master bedroom of his three-story hillside home in Florida's Jupiter Inlet Colony. The singer, who had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for some years, never woke up. "He just passed away," says a close friend. "It was very gentle, very quiet." That was as it should have been, for Como had built a legend on his cozy, comforting persona. Rising to fame in the early '40s as a crooner, he sold more than 100 million records, including...

Cyndi Lauper on the True Colors of Politics
Posted by admin / Under Music Sequencer
Whether it was a flip-flop, or an evolution, or a change of view, President Obama is the first sitting president to endorse same-sex marriage. Coincidentally, the same week the president announced this change, Cyndi Lauper, one of the biggest activists for gay and lesbian rights in the entertainment community was in town. Lauper came to D.C. to receive an award for her work to end LGBT -- lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender -- youth homelessness. Hearing the president's support for same-sex marriage, she said, felt extraordinary. "I've never been so proud of a president before, I'm so proud to be...

Posted by admin / Under Music Sequencer
Zhanna Arshanskaya Dawson's name is etched on the wall of a stark underground memorial in Ukraine, next to that of her sister, Frina, their parents and grandparents. She was presumed dead, like the 16,000 other Jews from Kharkov who perished under the Nazis in the winter of 1941. Only, Dawson survived, as did her sister. They lived through the Holocaust, saved solely by their musical genius. Dawson's son Greg believes his mother and aunt are the only two Jewish survivors from Kharkov. He came upon their names at the memorial in 2006 when he visited Ukraine to write a book...

Posted by admin / Under Music Sequencer
Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys unloaded some foul-mouthed political commentary onto both President Obama and presumed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently, labeling both men “a–holes” and further declaring Obama a socialist.

Well, see for yourself in the video below, courtesy of TMZ. “Obama’s an a—-le,” the musician declares to a fan looking for a photo opportunity. “Unless you’re interested in never having any money and being socialized.”He also warns of what will happen if our President doesn’t face re-election pressure: “Wait ’til Obama doesn’t have...

Posted by admin / Under Music Sequencer
Rita Wilson says her love of music -- and ability to sing -- "was kind of a private thing I kept to myself. You don't want to be that person who's like, 'Oh yeah, and now I'm a singer... And yet, here I am, I guess." Wilson, who's acted in nearly 30 films and produced "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the film adaptation of "Mama Mia!," releases her debut album, "AM/FM," on May 8. It's the result of a turn as Roxie Hart in "Chicago" on Broadway during the summer of 2006 that she says "reignited the love that...
