Summer of Love for the Animals

My Summer of Love Virtual Concert will benefit our abandoned and mistreated animals. Many of the groups and individual musicians (like John Denver and Marvin Gaye) who will appear at this virtual concert were activists for a variety of worthy causes, so it is fitting that the proceeds from this lens will go to the Humane Society of the U.S.

On August 15, 2008 the state of Louisiana finally put the act, banning cock fighting, into effect. The Humane Society is offering a reward to report violators. They are also reaching out to save the pets who have been abandoned due to house foreclosures. During Katrina, the Humane Society rescued hundred's of animals from what would have been a slow and painful death. The Humane Society continues to celebrate animals and confront Cruelty.

Benefiting the Humane Society 

draft_lens1578353module4238007photo_squid_pet_aidMy Summer of Love Concert features our favorite artists (mostly from the 60's and 70's), though many of them are still going strong today. The Love Fest would take place out in the Chandelier Islands off the coast of Louisiana. You can only get there by boat and it's easy to get stranded on a sand bar when the tide goes down, but with these fantastic artists and groups the islands would be rocking and no one would care that they were marooned. Proceeds from this virtual concert will go to the Humane Society because our animals have suffered so much in the last few years and the Humane Society has been there to help through it all.

There is a big Hooray in order for Louisiana on August 15, 2008, because the horrible "sport" of cock fighting has finally come to an end in this state! I guess this is a case of better late than never. The Humane Society is offering a big reward to anyone who will report illegal cock fighting and will need plenty of money, because there are some unbalanced people down here who think it's part of Louisiana culture.



Now let's rock!

Marvin Gaye on Wiki 

Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye (April 2, 1939 ? April 1, 1984imdb.com) was an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist with a three-octave vocal range.Billboard: Marvin Gaye Starting as a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows in the late fifties, he ventured into a solo career after the group disbanded in 1960 signing with the Tamla subsidiary of Motown Records. After starting off as a session drummer, Gaye ranked as the label's top-selling solo artist during the sixties.

Due to solo hits including "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and his duet singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, he was crowned "The Prince of Motown" and "The Prince of Soul".

Notable for fighting the hit-making but restrictive Motown process in which performers and songwriters and producers were kept separate,Garofalo, pgs. 261?262 Gaye proved with albums like his 1971 Whats Going On and his 1973 Let's Get It On that he was able to produce music without relying on the system, inspiring fellow Motown artists such as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to do the same.

His mid-1970s work including the Let's Get It On and I Want You albums helped influence the quiet storm, urban adult contemporary and slow jam genres. After a self-imposed European exile in the late seventies, Gaye returned on the 1982 Grammy-winning hit, "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album before his death. Gaye was shot dead by his father on April 1, 1984. He was posthumously inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

In 2008, the American music magazine Rolling Stone'' ranked Gaye #6 on its list of The Greatest Singers of All Time,Rolling Stone: 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time, Page 6 and ranked #18 on 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.Rolling Stone: The Immortals, The first 50
