Bob Dylan Joan Baez Hard Rain 1976

A scruffy looking Bob Dylan and a young Joan Baez and friends perform one of Dylan’s classic ballads “Hard Rain”. It’s hard to believe that so much time has gone by so quickly.

Bob Dylan may look scruffy but so do the thousands of fans out front listening to this great performance. I guess things in 1976 weren’t so good either.

Except for the music. That’s great.

Work Out Knowhow - Relieving Your Aching Muscles

by Lena Hellsten

We all knows how it feels to overdo a work-out session at the gym and end up with an aching body. Especially when your new to working out it might take a while before you find the right weights for your body. This soreness in the muscles doesn’t make you unable to move, but it is experienced as a dull pain together with tightness and a loss of strength that can be pretty uncomfortable.

What happens on a cellular level is that the fibers in the muscle are being torn, which causes the muscle cell to release content. The cell content attracts inflammatory cells and they release chemicals that irritate the nerve fibers and causes pain.

It’s always best to not work out harder than your body can handle, but if the sore muscles are a fact, there are a few things that can make the pain go away faster.

If you give you muscles a good stretch after your workout, usually some of the tightness and stiffness in the muscles can be prevented. Stretching gets the circulation in your body going and this aids the recovery.

Another great way to give relief, is to give the sore muscle a gentle massage. Start with a light pressure and increase it to more strength and depth. This will help the circulation to more efficiently get rid of the inflammatory cells which causes the pain.

Is There Hope for Britney Spears?

Britney Spears is working hard to shake the pop wreck label that she earned with her wild behavior and her late nights around Hollywood. It all started with a party in Las Vegas with Paris Hilton, continued by picking up Lindsay Lohan in Malibu. Soon after Britney’s star and life crashed hard. Paris and Lindsay are hard to keep up with on the party circuit.

Britney Spears is raking in $370,000 a month - more than $4 million a year - despite not having had a hit song for three years. The troubled star’s last big success was her 2004 Greatest Hits album and her last UK No 1 was Everytime in the same year. Britney Spears is fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. And at times crazy.

Britney broke into pop’s limelight after opening for N’Sync on November 17th, 1998 and secured her pop status by releasing her debut album, Baby One More Time, on January 12th, 1999. The album’s title single shot to #1 on the Billboard chart, sold 125 thousands copies in its first week and achieved platinum seven times after seven months. Britney is attacking everyone in the world basically. When someone is that crazy and they think the whole world is against them it makes life tough no matter how much money they may have.
