Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love music.

Music has got me closer to others and introduced me to the strangest and the most beautiful of people.

I adore metal and rock and nothing pleases me more than moshing into my bedroom wall and playing air guitar in front of my mirror...I've been in many a mosh pit and have been bruised, cut, punched, hugged and squeezed...It won't stop me getting into more pits...Music tends to carry you away to the best place in the world...

I saw Kings of Leon last night and they thanked the fans for being their for them. They said that if it wasn't for us they wouldn't be where they are today. True. But if it wasn't for these great artists, then we wouldn't be where we are now.

I think proof of how much music affects people is the recent sad passing away of Michael Jackson. He showed that music affects your heart and soul and any artist who brings that much joy into so many different people's lives deserves to be remembered as the true music icon that he is.
