Trojan Horse Thursdays

Welcome back to almost another weekend. It's been proven that I'm horrible with keeping up this blog, as I wasn't able to kick start "The Monday Moves," my new Monday series where I find a new dance move that is about to take the world by storm. Which is not to be confused with your Monday bowel movements.

But I have a good excuse which was the 4th of July weekend, and obviously everybody was entranced by fireworks on Monday so I will continue it next week.

Anyways: Trojan Horse Thursdays. The title for this comes from looking up the word 'cover' on good 'ole Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Underneath the entries there were Synonyms and Related Words. Synonyms were things like blanket, cover, curtain, veil and penumbra (what??). The related words however, started with 'Trojan Horse.' Thus, I picked the one that has almost nothing to do with this NEW segment.

Trojan Horse Thursdays is going to delve into vast the world of cover songs. But do not fear, I will not pick these covers lightly, for I am fully aware of how bad cover songs can be. These will be chosen with much thought and care...or in a pinch, something with a good beat. This first one comes to you from a homeless man (hear me out) who was singing at a mall in Denver, CO. The white man in the beginning is sort of annoying for how he seems to take credit for the singer, but the actual song is really great. The artist, Dred Scott, has a great throaty voice and more of a rock cover of 'Purple Rain.' Also, his Live EP is now on iTunes and will help pay for food and clothing.

p.s. Don't tell me you don't love his Teva sandals and socks. So in right now.
