Ticket to Skogsröjet

For each day that passes, the ticket to Skogsröjet becomes the best investment I've made this year. But me and my friends (if they'll come with me) will stay at a hotel. We hate camping. And the closest hotel is half an hour car drive away. It would be nice if someone with a driver's license could come with us, so I don't have to be the chauffeur that whole weekend.
Ah well, just to be there will be more than enough.

Sister was the latest band the be announced. There are so many great acts this year that I am blown away. It even beats Sweden Rock according to me. There will be plenty of more opportunities to see Steel Panther and Motley Crüe later on. I am going to try and find some music from the bands in Skogsröjet's line-up that I haven't heard yet. It's so much more fun being at a festival if you know who most of the bands are. But with this amazing line-up, I am familiar with almost everyone.

Ryan Roxie is back with Alice Cooper

Got some big news for you sick things out there...! Ryan Roxie is back with Alice Cooper!! He toured with the Coop between 1996-2006 and is now back for the forthcoming tour! I'm really happy for him and I am looking forward to all of the work we have ahead of us to promote everything that surrounds the world of Roxie ;) Can't wait to get started!

"I can't even begin to express how excited I am to have the opportunity to be a part of this years touring line-up….to be able to contribute musically with Alice & the band, perform for all you faithful Cooper fans, and have the chance to play guitar on stage next to one of rock music's coolest icons….well, let's just say I definitely plan to 'enjoy the ride'….and yes, just like all good sports-related interview ending quotes, I also plan on 'taking it one show at a time' and giving it '110%' ;) ….looking forward to seeing all you Sick Things out there in 2012!" - Ryan Roxie

Animal lover... really?

Most people call themselves 'animal lovers'. Because it's a nice description of someone who is in connection with nature, humble, loving and caring. Four weeks ago a little bunny was born in Germany. The zoo keepers immediately wanted him to replace another cute animal, a polar bear named Knut, who died in 2011. The thing that was so special about this bunny, Til, was that he had no ears. Can you imagine? A tiny, fluffy cutiepie with a disability? How adorable is that. More innocent than anything! So of course there was a press conference set up about a week ago to introduce this little creature to the world. So that everyone who had once completely fallen for Knut, could now fall for Til. But what happens?

Well, a camera guy accidently took a step back without seeing that Til was standing there. He died immediately. This whole incident is extremely sad and I feel bad for both the camera guy and the little bunny. 

But here is the thing. This happens every single day in pretty much every persons home. Not with bunnies, but with animals. I am happy to say that my conscience stands clear from this, but so many other people kill bugs each day. They kill these wonderful creatures who are absolutely beautiful in their own way! The lady who showed up in Swedish TV with unshaved armpits was being bullied online for several days just because she was considered ugly and gross. But when people stepped up and defended her and made others look at her as an actual human being, things changed. People realised that there was more to her than just a shell. Just like there is more to an insect than just an 'ugly' surface. It breaks my heart when people kill ants, spiders and flies. These animals have been here for much longer than us, so what gives us the right to come into THEIR world and just take over? The actress Lisa Kudrow recently stated in an interview that "Mankind hasn’t been very kind to itself" and it's true. We got here after the insects and yet, we're killing ourselves off when we could actually learn fom the ants, spiders and flies how to survive. But instead we say "we're going down and you're going down with us!". Because we are too damn proud to realise that something smaller than us can actually be smarter than us.

You're not an animal lover when you only love the cute and fluffy creatures

21th of March - You warm, beautiful day

Billy Idol to Peace & Love 2012

YEEEEES!!!! I am SO happy that no one bought my ticket for the Peace & Love festival. Billy Idol announced today that he'll be performing there on the 29th of June. Me and Kiki have said that we have to see him if he comes to Sweden this year, so I really hope she can come with me. It's so worth going to Borlänge just for this. He may not be the what he once was, but s legend is a legend. So now that I have a four day ticket I might as well see some more artists, if someone will come with me that is. Rihanna, Regina Spektor, Kent, Veronica Maggio, Hoffmaestro, Hardcore Superstar.... sure, why not. And hopefully some more interesting artists will be announced soon!
