Collective Soul

Well, let me start by saying that I would never under any circumstances have ever thought that I would start my own blog.
Collective Soul has this great new competition via twitter (Check it out at: http://www.twitter.com/collective_soul)
that is just absolutely amazing. Although I am in South Africa and cannot win the prizes, I had to enter this competition anyway.
I have been a fan of the band since 1995 and now almost 14 years later, I am still a HUGE fan of the band. They are like a good wine. They just get better over time. Their sound is unique and they try different things in their music all the time which give their music a fresh sound every time.
Personally, they have pushed me to limits I never new possible. Like blogging for instance. Who would have thought that I would blog. LOL!
Another aspect of the band that makes me a loyal fan is that they are not a typical rock band. They have morals and values. They are a wonderful role model for kids and people to look up to that you can learn from. They work very hard and they are justly rewarded. Check out the following links as well:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a plan to go and see them live. It is truly a life changing remarkable experience you won't ever forget.
I have been very fortunate to see them live in South Africa twice and was not dissapointed. They are the greatest band to have come to our shores by far.

Have a great day
