Red Hot Chili Peppers

  One of my favorite acts of music I truly enjoy listening to are the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band was formed back in the early 80s but much of their success during the 1990s.

The first time I ever heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was when their cover song of Higher Ground was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie back in 1995 and I have been hooked ever since.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the Peppers was their wide varies of different styles in all of their songs and albums. It could go from funk, rock, metal, rap rock. It keeps me grooving in some many ways and I think it is pretty amazing to see any band change up their style but at the same time, never change who they are and I really appreciate that with them.

Their sound in my humble opinion is the ultimate California sound. Which makes sense since their are from Cali 😆. But what I mean by that is every song I have ever listen from them just makes me feel like I am driving in the summer time with the top down and feeling the wind in my face and beautiful sunshine gracing my skin. Just being with people you care about and getting away from the world and just enjoy life.

Lead singer Anthony Kiedis vocals and storytelling really resonates with me as well. Whether he is singing or rapping, you can feel everything that he is saying and it just so real and I am always amazed with how open and honest he is in his lyrics.

I can never get tired of listening to any of their songs, no matter what I am feeling emotionally, I can just play a RHCP song and be sent to another dimension.

They have so many different songs I'm not even sure that I can pick which one could be my favorite. Songs like the Other Side, Snow (Hey Oh), Higher Ground, Give it Away, , Dark Necessities Suck My Kiss, Californication, Dani California, etc. 

However, I will say the one song I will point out is Under the Bridge from the album Blood Sugar Sex Magik all the way back in 1991. What I love about this song was the story about it, now don't get me wrong, the music was amazing, but I really appreciate the lyrics and respect the fact that Kiedis was so honest about his addictions at the time as well as the loneliness that he was feeling. I can always respect anyone who has the courage to be open about how they feel inside and use it to inspire and bring hope to others who are going through something similar. It is pure poetry! 

A lot of respect and love for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I am so happy to see them going strong and I highly recommend them to anyone who loves music.

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
