Grammys best performance

Daft Punk

There were many old timers and new talent performing at the 2014 Grammys in Los Angeles. Some performances seemed not to well rehearsed and some were just not up to the standards you would expect from performers of that caliber. I think that Ringo Starr’s ‘Photograph’ was among the better ones, but to me the Daft Punk performance with Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers really stood out as the best performance in my mind – Quelle surprise!!!

Cemetière Père Lachaise is much more than Jim Morrison & Edith Piaf

Dora was a "subcamp" of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Nazi Germany. The focus of the camp was to supply labor for digging tunnels at the V2 rocket factory as many as 20,000 of the total of 60,000 in the camp were killed.

If you go to visit the cemetery in Paris where Jim Morrison and many other celebrities are buried, I suggest that you also take a look around in other places and you might discover some very powerful and emotional markers for people and time in history that we all need to keep in mind.
