I always have a hard time answering the question: "what kind of music do you listen to?" I tend to be all over the map, musically. I think it's for the best. Here's what I've been listening to this weekend.
I know Spoon just released an official music video for "Inside Out," but I still love this performance.
I can't get over the child actor lip-syncing in this video. He's incredible... without him this would be just another song.
"I'd rather be B.B. King. That's the way I started. Let the heavy metal guys play heavy metal, let the others play the other ... I try to do what I do better, not get away from it." - B.B. King

Excerpt from In The Event of Moon Disaster: "Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."
Letters of Note: Nixon's speechwriter drafted a speech in case the moon landing failed. I love reading the letters on the website Letter of Note. It would be great to attend the Letters Live event.

“Throughout this journey I have learned to block everything out and focus on my truth.”
It's a powerful and passionate commencement speech. There are not a lot of people with her kind of platform addressing the issues that she does in this speech. Here's a few of my favorite quotes.
"At the end of the day, by staying true to the me I've always known, I've found that this journey has been incredibly freeing because no matter what happened, I had the peace of mind of knowing that all of the chatter, the name-calling, the doubting - all of it was just noise."
"I want you to take a deep breath and trust yourselves to chart your own course and make your own mark on the world."
"I want you to act with both your mind, but also your heart and no matter what path you choose want you to make sure its you choosing it and not someone else."
A few highlights of what I watched and read this week. Enjoy
