I don't know if they are a fad or the next necessary method of communication, but these days it seems odd to have a webpage and not have a blog as well. So here is our team blog...for better or worse.
Here you will find information that we write about Vienna, ourselves, our families, our team, our experiences. I guess it adds a human touch to a venue (internet) that is otherwise void of humanity. I guess that is why blogs are so popular. So here is our human touch, not to be confused with the 1992 Bruce Springsteen album either (in my opinion he'll never top 1982's Nebraska and, of course, the immaculate Born to Run from 1975). For my money, it doesn't get any better than when he sings When a Man Loves a Woman...er, I mean Thunder Road. Seriously, though, is there any better rock song from the 70s than Thunder Road? I dare anyone out there to come up with a better rock song from the seventies, and if anyone names a song by Boston or Styx consider yourselves "band" from the blog.
I reckon that's all a man should write for a first blog.

| You have a chance to make a statement about the best rock song from the 70s and you don't choose something from the Led Zepplelin oeuvre? Not even some Stones? It's like I don't even know you anymore. |

Rush, Gina got all of the music intelligence from that era (I'm jealous), all I know is that rock reached perfection in 1974, Gina made me memorize that much. I really only know modern rock/post-punk: the recent Dynamite Hack cover of an NWA song is hilarious in its irony, and the bands Treephort and Descendants are underrated, radio stations need to stop playing that poorly writen song by She Wants Revenge, and Yellocard is like Bruggemann, they need to come up with at least one song that sounds different from the others, that's from me (that's actually unfair, out of Bruggemann's 100 books, there are three separate ideas, maybe four).
How's the German coming? I'm reading about German Bilingual education right now (if you get a chance, tell Curt that he should check out John Klapper's _Foreign-Language Learning Through Immersion_ isbn 0-7734-8915-0)
I'm now blogging at http://theblogineveruse.blogspot.com/ |

| OK, I was rambling, and I was thinking lyrically (mostly). Granted Thunder Road isn't the rockingest song from the 70s (I'd give that one to Do you Feel Like We Do? from Frampton Comes Alive), but lyrically, it's amazingly atypical for a 70s tune. And, I'm not seeing anyone name a better song. |

How about "The Beat Goes On" by Sonny and Cher? It was from the seventies, right? I use to dance to it in the shower in the seventies.
And who drops names like Walter Bruggemann? I've heard about salvation by immersion, but German by immersion?
I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Brian is ONE HECKUVA MAN!! When it comes to wisdom, opinion, literary criticism, fashion, or foreign policy - Rush is my number one 'go-to' guy. He'll even drive you to O'Reilly's if your candy-apple-red-sports car breaks down. |
