Mick Jagger turns 72 today. He is the embodiment of a rock star. Together with the Rolling Stones he significantly changed the music as we know today. I have always been a big fan of The Rolling Stones band and also admired Mick Jagger. Though, he is in my opinion not a good looking guy but he has got that certain something women like. So happy birthday and still many more rocking years!

Bob Dylan himself said, that it was a real privilege for him to make this album. He wanted to do this for a long time but he was not brave enough to change the arrangements for a  5-headed band. "We knew these songs very well and therefore we made nearly everything live and mixed the songs when we recorded them. We took these songs out of their graves and brought them in the light of the day."

Bob Dylan is a very successful musician His last 5 studio albums were applauded to be the best of his entire carrier. The Platinum album "Time Out Of Mind" of 1997 received several Grammy awards like "Album Of The Year", "Love and Theft" got platin status and also various Grammy nominations and a statue for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Modern Times" of 2006 became one of his most popular albums with more than 2,5 million sold albums and two Grammys.

The largest billboard in the history of Times Square is rented by Google and Austrian singer Conchita Wurst is on it. Rumours are that the rent costs 2,5 million Dollars every 4 weeks. The reason for this great success of  Conchita Wurst is that in 2014, she was under the top 10 of Google's worldwide most searched terms. Being number 7, Conchita, the winner of 2014 Eurovision Song Contest was in May even ahead of Beyonce or Lady Gaga. I also think it is time for such a step and I that she deserves this big attention for her appearance for tolerance. 

In the list of Googles most searched terms, which Google publishes every year, there ist only one person ahead (number 1): Robin Williams, the big actor. Following the complete list: Robin Williams, World Cup, Ebola, Malaysia Airlines, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Flappy Bird, Conchita Wurst, ISIS, Frozen and Sochi Olympics.

For the very likeable Wurst this happens at the right moment, since on January 11 she will visit the Golden Globes. This will be her first US appearance and many Americans will already know her by then. Some of my posts relating to Conchita: here right after the Song Contest, here a shooting with Karl Lagerfeld and here with Jean Paul Gaultier through the night in Vienna.
