What Else Could You Put on Here Except The 2009
X Factor Winner

Well he did it and  have to say it was as exiting as winning the Newcastle/Sunderland Derby.  Fabulous!
As the episodes continued I found it became more and more tense and in the semi-final I have to admit, I hid my head in a cushion as my nerves got  the better of me, so what Joe felt like is anyones guess.  He certainly didn't show his nerves in his performances but over the last few weeks it bacame apparant by his expression the pressure was building.  Being a humble and down to earth lad, as the results were read out in the semi-final and final, it was plain to see that Joe was never complacent, never made the assumption that he was so good he couldn't do any other than win. He kept his feet firmly on the ground and certainly wasn't taking anything for granted.  Nevertheless, the first time I saw Joe I was sure he could be a possible winner and as the shows continued I became more and more convinced of his talent, more and more delighted by his personality and more and more proud of seeing his popularity grow.  So well done Joe,  we can all get back to normality for a while before he hopefully returns with this North East anthem on his CD (I hope).  It was a great night Joe, congratulations again from us all in the North East and everyone else in the country who voted for you.

In 1967 the Yardbirds split, Jimmy Page had to fulfill concert obligations left by the band. The two remaining members Page and bassist Chris Dreja had  left with the rights to the band's name. The tour dates had to be filled. Jimmy Page went to hear Robert Plant. Jimmy was really taken by Plant's voice and stage presence, and in August 1968, Plant became the band's frontman. Chris Dreja quit the band and John Paul Jones took his place as bassist and John Bonham joined as drummer.

      Touring under the name the New Yardbirds the tour obligations were complete. I was 1969 the band now re-named themselves Led Zeppelin.  Their first self-titled album was completed in under 30 hours. Before the year was over, Zeppelin signed a contract with Atlantic Records and set out to tour the States.
When Led Zeppelin came out in January 1969, it only took two months for it to catch on like wildfire. The album soared to the top of the charts and Led Zeppelin, with their heavy, free-form, psychedelic style of rock, began their ascent to god-like status.  Their second album, Led Zeppelin II, was recorded on the road. Led Zeppelin II hit the No. 1 spot and stayed there for seven weeks. In support of the album, Zeppelin hit the road and didn't stop for a full year.

Remember this fabulous moving record cover?

For their third album, Led Zeppelin III, the band focused more on the mystical aspects of British folk music which came out in October 1970. But it was the untitled album Led Zeppelin IV, released in November  1971, that the band fully captured the folk spirit. It was also on this untitled album that the band produced their most popular classic songs  "Stairway To Heaven," "Rock & Roll" and "When The Levee Breaks."  the band's biggest album,  more than 16 million copies over the course of 25 years.

Love Life Love Music - Sandkat.  In Memory of John Lennon

John Lennon: Born 09/10/1940 Died 08/12/1980
Famous quotes :

The Beatles were seventh on stage at the Royal Variety Performance in the UK.  They predictably steal the show with songs comprising of  'From Me to You',  'She Loves You', 'Till There Was You' and 'Twist and Shout'.  However, the evening is probably best remembered for the ad-lib with which john introduces the final number .. "Will those in the cheaper seats clap your hands. the rest of you can just rattle your jewellry".

I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
