Tupac Live DVD

Never before released, the show is an action-packed set of state-of-the-art hiphop, R'n'B and all-out funk.- Click Here for the Full Story

Let Your Anger Flow�

PR reports: Legendary country duo The Bellamy Brothers may be registered to vote in Florida, but they've offered to perform their classic 1976 pop hit "Let Your Love Flow" for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in response to its unauthorized use in TV ads for Scharzenegger's opponent Phil Angelides. The siblings are upset that Angelides, California's Democratic nominee for governor, is using an unauthorized, re-recorded version of the song in an ad that takes the state's voters through the highlights of his life and career. In response to Angelides' commercial, The Bellamy Brothers emailed Governor Schwarzenegger's office on Wednesday to inform him that the ad was a re-recorded version of "Let Your Love Flow" using different singers. They made clear that they do not endorse Angelides for governor, and have offered to perform the song live for Schwarzenegger at any time during his campaign-"the original version by the original artist."

In 2005, the highly honored country duo released Angels & Outlaws, Vol. 1, a recording that marked the initial release of the Bellamy Brothers' two-disc retrospective celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Let Your Love Flow," their first number one hit. To commemorate the occasion, Howard and David assembled a wide array of guest artists, including Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, George Jones, and Tanya Tucker, to add a new twist to several of their most recognizable hits. [interesting aside about the ad. It plays while Angelides is looking at a "dump Nixon" type headline which supposedly inspired him to work in government. The song placement was only a few years off. Time to hire better researchers] - Click Here for the Full Story
