D is for - Dogs of War



Warning! This video contains graphic images that you  may find disturbing!

 I chose this particular video because it reflects the nature of this song perfectly. Images are jarring and at times heartbreaking. I think it is important that we do not forget the past. The acts mankind is capable of committing. We cannot turn a blind eye to what happens around us. 

 Unfortunately, this song is spot on with the nature of war and those who see fellow human beings as a commodity or less than human. It's timeless.

 When I first heard this song it was performed live and the visuals were dogs, German Shepherds to be exact, with glowing red eyes - running up a staircase. It was powerful but it was the lyrics that resonated with me the most. 

 "Hell opened up and put on sale. Gather around and haggle." 

 Honestly, this song doesn't need a video or photos to convey its message. 

 "You can't stop what has begun. Signed,sealed, they deliver oblivion."

 How does this song make you feel?

What is more 80s than INXS?  The sexy frontman, Michael Hutchence, taken from us all too soon. Instead of boring you with my memory of this group and their "kick" ass songs, I'll let you all just enjoy the vision that is INXS. What is your fave?

Can we take a moment and revel in the brilliance that is 80s music videos? Okay, back to the topic at hand, The Cars. They rolled out hit after hit and we kept wanting more. Ric Ocasek walked on water and we didn't question it. Record Store Day!

B ~ Beetlejuice

Before Winona Ryder hit the Stranger Things scene and Alec Baldwin finding his muse in Donald Trump, they were rocking Harry Belafonte in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice. Oh, Gena Davis was there too. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and became an instant hit - launching its own animated series. And, there are rumors of a remake or sequel sometime in the future. Make it happen, Hollywood! If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"
