"Music does bring people together.
It allows us to experience the same emotions.
People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.
No matter what language we speak, what color we are,
the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith,
music proves: We are the same."

For the first time on DVD the controversial classic film shockingly relevant to today
Said Alan Brien of THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK)
"The most impressive film maudit, possibly too hot to handle, is Victor Schonfeld's The Animals Film, a polemical onslaught, stuffed with footage never before shown, and a wealth of newly-shot material often taken undercover, which documents...mankind's degradation, exploitation, and often pointless torture, of the creatures who share our planet.He proves, beyond contradiction, that this behaviour is not just random or personal but part of our organised society, with drug companies, government departments, scientists, military authorities, factory farmers, university research laboratories, for their own selfish ends, for profit in money or prestige.I do not know when I have come out of a screening so moved by the power of the cinema as a medium to transform the entire sensibility of an audience.
"Alana Stevenson's The Right Way the First Time is a welcome addition to the chorus of positive dog training. Its beauty lies in Alana's direct approach. The book is easy to understand and is fueled by Alana's genuine and obvious love of animals. She emphasizes the importance of educating dogs "the right way, the first time," which is an invaluable refrain. If more and more people implement her suggestions, more and more dogs...and people...will benefit."

Living With War by Neil Young - Have A Listen to the Music & The Video News Clip - And Let's Get The Message :) !
" If you do not know any of the songs, ask an Elder to teach you. Get yourself a drum. When you sing a song and play the drum, you'll be surprised how your mind, body, and spirit will react. Everything becomes calm and joyful. Our bodies love the songs. The songs allow us to touch the hand of the Creator.
When we sing and touch the Great Spirit's hand, he gives us power.
Songs are another way to pray. "
My Grandfather, teach me a song today.
