I'm a Detroiter so clearly biased...Eminem!!!

Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.

I always enjoy Latin music. Reggatone, merengue, or latin rock. The rhythm of the music, even though I don't understand the words makes everything seem easier.

Anything is possible--except skiing through a revolving door.

The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.

As an older Sparker, I tend to use old head-banger rock for exercise but your suggestions are great. I get the CD's from the library to see if I like the music and then get it to add my to IPOD.

Thanks for expanding my musical horizons.
