Two days without music is too long time for me.

I feel like the last time I wrote was so long time ago. I hope it really isn't like that. 

I've been to Helsinki for two days, 'cause I attended to "Nuorten Parlamentti", Parliament for young people. Every second year, about 300 9th grade students are chosen to go there. We all had a chance to access to som eof the committees, like Environment comittee, financial committee, I went to meet the Grand Committee about EU stuff. Then, there had been organized a real question hour for us, where we had a chance to ask anything from Finland's Ministers. After that, we met environment minister Ville Niinistö and Minister of culture and sports, Paavo Arhinmäki. So, the day at Parliament House was interesting. 

It was also interesting to be two days without listening to music. How boring life can be without it? What I'm usually talking about, if I'm not talking about music? About school or environment or what? I don't actually know. 

Well, I was shopping in Tuuri and in Seinäjoki yesterday. Here something I found from there:  

Presence by Led Zeppelin, one of the best their records

Richie Blackmore's Rainbow by Rainbow

DVD of Marc Bolan, it cost only 3€, so I needed to buy it <3

And I bought the harp! At last, I've been looking for one since X -mas.

It's 10 necked Hohner's Blues Harp in G major, I was looking for 16 necked, but I could find a good one.

I love the sound. It's warm, rich and beautiful. It's lower as I expected, kinda alto,

if you know what I mean. I wish you do. There's one old instrument seller nearby Keskinen, the harp cost about 35 €. 

And to the end, some good musical news: Jimmy Page is to release new album! It's a soundtrack from the 70's, originally made for the film Lucifer Rising. You can pre-order it form his netpage, and it's coming for the public stores in November. First 93 copies include his autograph. You know what I'm gonna do right after writing this? :3

And, tomorrow is Steven Tyler's birthday. So best wishes for him too, and happy birthday. 

And have ya heard about the new Finnish TV show, which tells about rockstars who rescue homeless animals? The hostess of the show is Tony Iommis daughter Toni-Marie, who's lived in Finland for 4 years now. Many rockers like Iggy Pop, Michael Monroe and Kat von D (I can't remember everyone, there were many more) will visit in the show, maybe Tony Iommi too. So when it starts to come, check it out!

  

So alone

Bullying and teasing at schools are one of the most horrible thing in the world. It can happen to anyone, and it can end to suicide. Do you want that? I've been seeing and experienceing bullying and teasing for last nine years in school, so this is for all the people who've been bullied too. Usually, older students bully youngers. I wanted to write this, 'cause bullying is something I'm really fucking fed up with. I wish that bullied people could pull theirselves together. You know, you don't need to listen to your bullies. They're assholes and hicks, who justt want to show their idiotism to all world. They don't know, who you are, and they don't know how you've ended up to that place.

So don't listen to 'em. I'm so shy person, and I hate performing on the stage. I think it's partly because I've been bullied too, long time ago. Learn to fight (not literalry, violence isn't allowed! Ok, only lightsabers are!) and not to care about those people. If they laugh at you, you'll laugh at them and kick their asses! 
 

The big ones should take care of little ones. 

 Hey come on, they know it in heavy metal world too. So why not in the schools?

For The Good Old-Fashioned Times

It's always us; the young people. I realized, that older people just can't understand us (or me). Especially, if we're talking about music. They can't believe, that we exactly LIKE the same music, or those bands we tell  adults we listen to. They think we're fakin', or we have read information from Wikipedia and then telling it to our parents somehow proudly. Well, that's not true.

Next summer, Queen plays a tribute/reunion/whatever show in Soniphere, Knebworth, with Adam Lambert as vocalist. When I told my dad that I want to go there, he said: "no, 'cause it's not original, that's pathetic, and the band is artifial. " Yeah, of course it's not the real Queen, but it's impossible too see live anymore. Freddie Mercury died FIVE years before I was even born, so I didn't really have a chance to see Queen live. That's not my fault. But when I have an opportunity to see even a trace of that brilliance, which Queen would have had in it's live shows in the 80's, I'm not gonna miss it. That's all I have, that's all what teenage music people have. And it's so sad to notice, that adults don't get it. They've lived the times when Led Zeppelin played, when The Clash played, when The Doors played, and so on. Why adults don't let that same happen to us?

Or do they think, that teenagers are that stupid, that they don't really care? They would go to see those reunion bands as jokes? That's not true. If I could go to Soniphere to see half of the real Queen, I'd probably cry almost all of the showtime. Same with The Clash reunion, or Led Zeppelin, or Guns N' Roses, Hanoi Rocks, any band. The teenagers, who would come to these concerts, really love those bands, I believe, 'cause I do.

And, you must not forget, that unfortunately the music is immortal, but musicians and bands are not. I can't get the thought of Ronnie James Dio in Finland in 2007 out of my head, 'cause I didn't have any reason to stay away from there. Only, that I didn't know any song by Dio, I just knew he was some singer guy... But the point is, that I was alive, I was 11 fuckin' years old, so old enough to go.. if I just would have known. Now, when Tony Iommi has lymphoma, I'm scared that I'm never gonna see him live. If Rolling Stones still leaves for tour, it must be one of the last tours of them, so then I MUST go to see them live. Same thing with the other old rockers. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Paul McCartney... none of them will live forever.

So, I gotta get tickets to that Queen show. If you're my age, and you like real music, you'll know how I feel. And I hope, that even that fake Queen wouldn't be alright to adults, who have lived in the times of Freddie Mercury, the Queen we have now is all of the band for every person younger than 25. And if adults complain that Led Zeppelin without John Bonham isn't real, today's Led Zeppelin with other original members is all that we, young people, can get. We can, or we have to, settle for it, so why the adults can't? Are they really that bitter or what? 

Only one thing more. We can, and we will, fight about these thing with older people as far to future as I can see. But please, let the dead musician and idols rest in peace. They can't change their fate anymore, and they can't defend themselves from all the shit what people can talk about them, so I don't want to make this case to be their fault. Because even though many good people have died, many of them are still alive. The music should be the mainpoint, anyway. And we, the teenagers who love rock n' roll,  are the people, who are gonna save the rock genre some day in the future. Deal with it.
