Freedom Music, Shorty Award in Blogger, and MLK Day

Welcome back for another installment of Music Monday, everyone! Because I haven’t posted for the last three days, I am officially out of the running for Project 365 So where have I been, and why did I bomb?

If you look at the new layout, you’ll see some major differences, and I’m hoping you like the look better. I recently made the painful, albeit practical, transition to a self-hosted website. Now I can do pretty much anything I want  to my blog, within reasonable and legal boundaries. Yay! I am freeeeee!

As a consequence, I am currently a week behind in answering comments and visiting my favorite blogs, but I hope to catch up in the next couple of days. I haven’t forgotten you all!

With this being said, I’m looking for a little favor from all of the great readers at LABB (Like a Bump on a Blog). I was nominated for the Shorty Awards this morning in #Blogger, and even though I doubt I have a chance in hell of winning, I surely would love to try. With your help voting nd sharing this post, anything is possible. I know there are better blogs than mine in the blogosphere, but I put my heart and soul into my blog, am consistent, and I’ve come a long way in the 11 months since I’ve begun. It only takes 10 seconds to vote. You can go here or you can click on this very nifty little badge:

Today also is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and I would be remiss if I didn’t include his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. His dream is still alive, and continues to flourish decades later. May we all, as a society, continue to promote equality and destroy the feelings of animosity, racism, and other prejudices that only serve to weaken the bonds of morality and humanity.

Now on to the music part of Music Monday! Because I have liberated myself from the clutches of Blogger and WordPress.com and because it seems appropriate, I thought I’d share a few songs that deal with freedom. Enjoy:

Akon-Freedom

Rage Against The Machine-Freedom

Dj Andi feat. Stella-Freedom

Lee Greenwood-God Bless the USA

What is your favorite freedom song? Tell me in the comments.
