Warrior Legacy Foundation adapts new 'Fight Song' -

Posted By Mr Wolf

Blackfive posted up a few weeks ago a song and video that is just too HOOAH! not to listen to.  You can find that post here for The Warrior Song.

Since then, the Warrior Legacy Foundation has worked with the song's creator, Sean, and his team to 'adopt' the song for the Warrior Legacy Foundation.  Now, the WLF and The Warrior Song are one and the same in promoting its use for our Warriors!  The WLF has 'adopted' the song as its 'fight song'.

It's such a perfect fit.  If you haven't seen it, take a look at it now.  Be sure to pick up a copy of it and spread it around!

Believe

Posted By Blackfive

Because it's my blog, I felt like posting this song by one of my favorite bands, Yellowcard.  "Believe" is a tribute to the first repsonders who died on 9/11.  I also think it's about Rescorla who saved 2,700 people.

Yellowcard - "Believe"

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire
Time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive

But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Be strong believe

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
Just to bring them down alive

And you still came back for me
You were strong and you've believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
[radio voice]
again today,
we take into our hearts and mind
Those who perished on this site one year ago
and also,
those who came to toil in the rubble
To bring order out of chaos,
to help us make sense of Our despair

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know
How much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change right here right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
(background voice):Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving lives in the dark

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong believe
(background voice):Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

(radio voice): The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

CALL- Call Now, Call Often

Posted By Mr Wolf

UPDATED 8/6:  Kevin 'won' the right to continue last night, as I would have hoped.  Funny thing is, he was on stage with the Dominatrix Yodeler/Opera chic (WTH???) when he was told.  I'm sure he's gonna have some stories to tell back in Mayfield...

We like to take a break, now and then, from supporting the troops and their families to supporting 'good guys' in other venues.  This is just such a case.

I was never one to get into 'American Idol' or any of the so called 'reality-based' TV shows.  In fact, I've never seen a full episode of 'Idol'; it always just seemed too contrived or plastic to me.  Plus, they have an age limit.  WTH?  That seems to prove just how bad Hollywood needs a reality dose itself.

'America's Got Talent' seems to forgo all that.  Part 'Gong Show', part 'Idol', this seems to better showcase what hidden talents are out there.  No age limit, and given some of the acts, no TALENT limit either.  I'm posting because I've seen one act, Kevin Skinner, that needs pushed, and hard.

While he's not quite an underdog from what I've seen, I'm posting because I would love to see this cat win this thing.  For those of you who have NO idea what I'm talking about,  watch this (oh- and bring tissues):

Shockingly honest performance.  You hear him talk, you see him onstage, then you hear him play and sing.  This guy needs a gig on Grand Ol' Opry pronto.  It seems that, even if he 'loses' he could win.  Too much raw talent to miss out or be ignored.  Someone's going to offer this dude a contract.

To give you some history, Mr Skinner comes from Mayfield, Kentucky (Yay, KY!) and was graduated from Graves County HS.  Holding odd-jobs around the area, to include being a chicken catcher (claims he and his co-workers caught about 60,000 in one night) he has never been out of Kentucky before joining the talent show.  Well, he's about to do some traveling now...

Here's his second video- not quite as good as the first, but far above the rest of the field:

You can tell he's nervous as hell, and his voice cracks just a bit.  Its his to lose, IMHBIO.  I just hope he takes it all the way.

TO VOTE:  Call 1-866-60-AGT-11 (866-602-4811) or text VOTE to 4811.  Do.It.Now.

Go Kevin!  Go Kentucky!

Wolf

ps- yeah, this isn't 'new' but the voting JUST started.  Up 'til now, we'd have no impact.  Just.Go.Vote :)

UPDATE:  Sorry about the Hulu vids not working- worked in the preview, but not now.  You can go HERE for the first video, HERE for the second.  Hulu has great resolution to watch them on.
