   JOURNEY'S ARNEL PINEDA
I don't know if you call this the 'American Dream' or the new dream that Youtube has created. Arnel Pineda, once the lead singer for The Zoo (primarly a cover band in Manila) has hit the jackpot. In February of 2007, a friend of his started posting performances of his on You Tube singing a variety of 70's and 80's rock songs to apparently empty bar rooms. By June the videos had attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, including one very important viewer: Neal Schon, the lead guitarist of Journey. Long story short, Schon found Pineda, Pineda auditioned and became the next lead singer of Journey, and the next show he played was a Brazillian simulcast to 25 million people. The collaboration has since recorded a platinum album and their tour was the eighth grossing concert in 2008. Pineda not only sounds like the original Journey frontman, Steve Perry, he might even be a better singer. He has gone from completely obscurity to worldwide fame in 2 years, and has resurrected one of the best acts the 70s ever produced.

        VELCRO SHOES
Easy on, easy off. Velcro shoes make everything in life easier.. right up until the moment the velcros get wet and stop 'velcroing', and you find yourself slipping out of your shoes left and right, trying desperately to get them to start velcroing again. Next thing you know you are getting your self castrated and studying comets.
