September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, and I wanted to big a Throwback Friday post that addressed the issue of suicide. I picked Billy Joel's "You're Only Human (Second Chance)" because he cleverly took a serious topic and managed to make an upbeat sounding track about it. The song was written to address teenage suicide, something that is a matter of his own heart as … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “You’re Only Human” by Billy Joel (in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day)

Throwback Friday: “Back and Forth” by Aaliyah…RIP
This past Wednesday, August 25, 2010 marked the ninth anniversary of Aaliyah Dana Haughton's (known to fans as "Aaliyah") death.

Throwback Friday: “Uptown Anthem” by Naughty By Nature
Ok, I know it's not Friday, but I just heard this song and thought I'd resurrect my Throwback Friday posts with Naughty by Nature's "Uptown Anthem." These cats from "Illtown," aka East Orange, New Jersey, made a bunch of hip hop chart toppers in the early 90s. Shoo! They made "O.P.P." famous before Tiger Woods. :lol: "Uptown Anthem" is from the soundtrack from the film … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “Uptown Anthem” by Naughty By Nature
