Icon Tragedies

So lately i haven't bothered listening to the radio even for humor, it's just getting to hard to handle. It's plain horrible. Therefore this week i have decided to talk about tragic deaths and sicknesses of famous icons. We all have known of some artist(s) whom have been diagnosed with some deathly illness and/or dies by some tragic means.

One recent case involves the infamous Dio, who has currently been diagnosed publicly with cancer. Many of us ourselves have been surrounded by somebody who is or has battled cancer. Whether they win of not it is a most difficult thing to face. Throughout his life Dio has brought us captivating classics that are forever going to be drilled into music. His voice reigns all over and is instantly recognisable. Dio is well known for starting a tradition in a music scene, if you know Dio you know what I'm talking about then. No matter what happens to him, though we hope he makes it through, Ronnie James Dio is forever going to be with us.

A man who has beat cancer and publically had a stoke, at a performace none the less, is one Bobby "Blitz". Yes this middle ages monster has made it through the tretcherous cancer grounds and come out on top. After going through propper procejure to get rid of his nose cancer, Bobby has come out into the world ready to face anything. Even after his stroke on stage nothing stops him from living the life his has worked so hard to achieve.

It's always great to here that some celebrity can beat cancer because it helps to spread the word about how serious cancer is, but that there is hope for those who have been diagnosed. Getting a little of the music topic i think cancer is a serious thing that we all need to know about. You are not invincible and anything can happen to you. The best thing for you to do now is to be proactive and try with all your might to not intentionally involve yourself in something that could possible cause you to face cancer, it's not a game. Almost all of have faced cancer in some way or another and with that said, do what you can now with at least some regard to your future if you intend to have one.

I think i want to end this post differently than the subject it has pertained to. I feel as though i should, since I'm blogging about music, should recommend some music that you should listen to.

First off listen to local bands, you have to, if they're good, because they are representing where your from.

Bands/Artists:

lets go old school first and say...

Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Bad Brains, Cab Calloway, Patsy Cline, D.R.I, Venom, and Agnostic Front.

Local...

Dasha, Neurolepsy, Insubordinates, Bad Taste, Like Wolves, I Object, and Rational Animals.

Some Other Stuff That May Interest SOmebody...

Discount, Amebix, Circle Jerks, Sleep, and The Shangri-Las

^all listed above vary.

I get it, everyone has different tastes in music and some, like me, have varying tastes themselves. I can listen to almost anything good and so i find myself listening to many genres. All that i have listed fit into different genres so that you can get a taste of something you may have never listened to before or so that you can find some that you like within the genres you prefer. So maybe by chance you will stumble across something that strikes your fancy.
