Michael Jackson vs. Prince - Who Was/Is More Talented?

 

 Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

My friends, this is one that I have wrestled with on both sides of the fence for many years.  Even my biggest musical idol Miles Davis wrestled with this question up to his death.  Michael or Prince?  The greatest single solo artist/entertainer on stage of my gener… Read full post »

So I've spent a few introspective days.  Actually, my last few years have been very introspective as I search for enlightenment. One thing is for sure, there is an ebb and flow in the learning curve.

I have been scarce on Open Salon for the past few weeks.  At first my son and I got H1N1 and were layed up and lacking in energy.  This past weekend my father was admitted to the hospital in the ICU with double pneumonia.  He did not have H1N1, but he… Read full post »

I am about 36 hour into my ordeal with confirmed H1N1.  Keep that in mind with the relative brevity of this post, but I am hoping to translate what I've learned so far to all my fellow OS friends with a desire to help.  My 8-year old son and I both… Read full post »
