On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from PorteDauphine , through the Louvre, to the Basilica of SacreCoeur. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running red lights, nearly hitting pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up one-way streets. Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground.
This video brings honor and thanks to all military families for the sacrifices they've made. Dave is a husband, father, and soldier and is being deployed. It is evident the sacrifice being made by his entire family. We also recognize that many "Moms" have to leave their families because of deployment, so we dedicate this film to you as well. Our country needs, respects, and thanks you for your many sacrifices. We love you!
May 25th is Memorial Day, a day in which Americans from all races, all religions, all cultures come together as a nation united to honor those brave men and women who have served in the military. I am a veteran who served in the United States Navy and served a tour of duty in Vietnam, a war in which politicians lied, anti-war protesters rioted and most unfortunate, Americans that turned their backs on those who returned. Over 5,800 men and women never returned home. They never returned home to their families. They never returned home to enjoy the exact freedoms that they fought for. In their honor, a large black granite wall exists with theirs names inscribed. Names of hundreds who were held as Prisoners of War,or Missing in Action. Names of those who this Country forgot. Names of those who this Country failed.
The American serviceman goes where he or she is told. They live in primitive conditions, receive little or no sleep, and have to react to the most serious of conditions at a moments notice, if even that long. The American serviceman fights to defend the freedoms that we have the privilege of living in. They sacrifice of themselves in order to keep us free and safe. Like members of the militarises from centuries ago, many of these men and women will once again not return home. They will give the ultimate sacrifice because they were keeping America free and their deaths should not, and will not be forgotten. Take a moment and pray for them. Take a moment away from your free time and say a prayer for them as they cope with the loneliness, fear, fatigue, the violence of war, and being away from their loved one. Pray for their families to be comforted as they receive the news of yet another hero has died. Pray for America and its leaders to take the stand to defend this great and mighty Country. Pray that America never again forgets, for these are the true "American Idols."
This 1944 act is a real show stopper featuring The Ross Sisters, Aggie, Maggie, and Elmira. The title, Solid Potato Salad, is from the 1944 MGM musical, Broadway Rhythm. It gets better (almost bizarre) as it progresses, and wait till you see how the sisters exit the stage at the end of their performance. The whole act is absolutely amazing to watch!
Whether or not you see eye-to-eye with President Obama, we all should agree that he is the President of Entertainment, our Celebrity In Chief. It amazes us how Obama unlike any other President that we know of has taken the limelight of all the media outlets, including the tabloids. It seems that some media groups are more concerned about how the drapes are placed at the White House, or how tight Obama's tight glowing abs are while vacationing shirtless on Hawaii's beaches.
Don't you think the media should focus on the real issues at hand? We've even heard networks call President Obama the chosen one, even the Messiah! All we can say is; Reality Check Please!

This unique music video was produced by a couple of really smart guys, driven by a passion (www.playingforchange.com), who traveled around the world, recording and filming different musicians and vocalist, including Bono from U2! Everyone in the video is performing the same song, being recorded live on location from their own cities, throughout different parts of the world. Thank God for over-dubs! It goes to show you how strong the bond of musicianship and music really are, who created it, and what impact it has on people and society. Check it out!
