RIP Prince Rogers Nelson - You Are Already Missed

We lost another true music Giant today in Prince Nelson Rogers. 

I have been a fan of his most of my life, to say I am sad would be an understatement. Here is my attempt to celebrate an artist who had a HUGE influence on my life.

RIP Prince Nelson Rogers, condolences to his family, friends, and the rest of his fans (like me).

Rock Ain't Dead: #OPSThrowdown Playlist
Rock Ain't Dead: #OPSThrowdown Playlist

Every Friday and Saturday I do what I call an #OPSThrowdown.

Basically, I try to create a string of videos around a theme entirely spontaneously. Now that I have a YouTube channel, I am posting them on Google+, YouTube (as a playlist), and linking them here.

Today's theme was "Rock Ain't Dead" + includes videos from Destruction Unit, Greys, La Misma, and Hallelujah The Hills.

Enjoy!

I Hate Maroon 5 - "Rockist" Or Right?

I hate Maroon 5 - not personally - just the music. Does this make me a "Rockist" or just right?
