Week Two Celebrity Match

Hellooooo there. It's good to be back. It is time for yet another celebrity match! But first, a little musical refreshment...
Here are two songs that I am digging at the moment.


Jacaranda Red - "So Heavy"


Jacaranda Red is a rad local Los Angeles band that rocks pretty hard. This song "So Heavy" is quite the Jam. If you dig you should check out their facebook page and say whatsup. Much respect for Jacaranda Red.


Grateful Dead - "Eyes of the World"


This one here is my FAVORITE live version of "Eyes of the World" by the Grateful Dead (Live at the Cow Palace New Year's eve 1776). Phil Lesh does some excellent bass shredding and it is just all around a great jam. I have a large amount of love for this song. The Melvin Doo (My Band) has played this many times and it always feels good.

With that being said, here is this week's celebrity match!!

Adam Sandler





Gary Clark Jr. - "The Life"



First off, Gary Clark Jr. is THE MAN which is partially why I chose this song for mr. Sandler. His debut album "Blak & Blu" is awesome. If you like blues or The Black Keys you will love Gary Clark Jr.. This song talks about a day in the life of Gary and the "Life" that he lives. The chorus, "This is the life, life, life, life, the life", always reminds me of Adam Sandler because often times Adam Sandler plays roles in movies where the character truly has the "life". Many times I have seen Sandler in movies with nice cars, money, extremely attractive female companions, love and many other ridiculous luxuries. Just Go With It, Grown Ups, Billy Madison, and Click are just a few examples. Sandler started his career just out of college when he was very young blasting himself directly into stardom. Adam Sandler is always the protagonist that wins in the end. It seems to me that he truly lives "the life".
