Music, Fashion, Culture - Set List

Refer to Duran Duran Series : Rio Album for information about the album itself.
"Save a Prayer" is well at the top of my most favorite songs - by Duran Duran and in general - for personal reasons. When I am in emotional distress for whatever reason, I turn to this song for the title alone. I need to know that the outcome of my concern will be okay. "Save a Prayer" in essence helps me get through difficult times.
And so I choose to promote the Rio album as the original source for "Save a
Prayer."

"Say" is a profound inspiration to me. I have life struggles that I generally write about in a personal journal. However, some issues are better expressed out loud and the lyrics to "Say" offer a sense of verbal journaling.
And so I choose to promote John Mayer's "Say" cd.
"Runnin' Down A Dream" is the second single from Tom Petty's solo album, Full Moon Fever.

My taste in music varies considerably - from intense alternative to classic jazz and the occasional consideration of the House genre. My iPod list and iTunes list are extensive. I love music and especially select songs.
"Runnin' Down A Dream" is a unique song that I love. I find great inspiration through this song. The title alone gives me hope to keep going when I have a desired goal. This is my take though.
And so I choose to share "Runnin' Down A Dream" and Full Moon Fever.
The Who - an iconic staple in classic rock music.

"It's Hard should never have been released." - Roger Daltrey, 1994

"...the only song on it (It's Hard)...worthy of being released." - Roger Daltrey
(Wikipedia)
Strong criticism from the lead singer. So why am I writing about the song?
A feature in film, sports, and television.
A commercial jingle for GMC - must continuation of Set List - Blast from the Past.
A sense of electric anticipation in the opening instrumental. A sense of addictive edge throughout the song - listen over and over again type of addiction.
Why should I promote through Amazon? I want to - as an avid fan of "Eminence Front" at any rate.
