The Story of God with Morgan Freeman
“The Story of God,” starring Morgan Freeman, is documentary series on the National Geographic Channel that got started last year. In this series, Morgan Freeman explores various cultures and religions, and their take on religion-related topics, particularly about their belief in a God or a higher power.
The second season just got released recently.
Morgan Freeman’s voice is the perfect voice to narrate anything. I wish my whole life could be narrated by his voice.
Liquid Tension Experiment – When The Water Breaks – Full length version
Genre: Technical/Progressive Rock/Metal
Location: New York City, New York
Now I know what you might be thinking when you see a song that’s 17 minutes long, “You really expect us to listen to that? That’s like 3 songs in one?” But trust me, as you listen to it, it doesn’t feel very long at all. This amazing piece takes you on a journey – a journey through groovy, fresh guitar solos, funky riffs, dynamic ups and downs and Mike Portnoy’s expert drums.
That’s right. This project was founded by Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater as a side project (but ended up roping in John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess…so it was kind just like a different flavor of Dream Theater???) They also had bassist Tony Levin of King Crimson playing with them.
One thing that made me laugh was when I read that Portnoy’s first choice for a guitarist was Dimebag Darrell…you know…of Pantera. Of course Dimebag was an amazing guitarist, but somehow this doesn’t really seem like his style.
A testament to the incredible talent of these band members is that the albums were mostly improvised.

In this film, Mongolian nomads are kicked off their land and relocated to a soul crushing existence where they must work in a strip mine (a very common experience in much of the 3rd world today). However, a young Mongolian boy connects with his destiny to become a shaman and decides to rise up against this oppression.
