Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix, the World Misses You

Have you ever been experienced? Then you know what it's all about.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Jimi Hendrix would have been 71 today. Instead, he is forever young. He was born November 27, 1942 in Seattle, named Johnny Allen Hendrix. Later he changed his name to James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix. His life's works are well known to generations of fans, and indeed, Jimi Hendrix left an indelible mark, etched in the annals of rock.

Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry really attracted Jimi to rock and roll. He started playing the guitar when he was 15, and play he did.

Fighting A Monster

Artists express their discontent with the monsters found in corporate greed at the expense of the middle and lower class, the consistent attack on human rights and freedom, the misuse of the military in imperialistic wars, and of course in the tragedy of Palestine

(BOSTON) - Aldin Entertainment’s most recent production, Fighting a Monster, continues the focus on societal and political ills.

From the monsters of corruption of governmental institutions and “1984”-style “big brother”-spying on the daily communications of an unsuspecting citizenry, fear-mongering to ensure obedience, the transformation of America from a democracy to a corporate oligarchy, the hypocritical posturings of politicians and faux statesmen, to the monster of the genetic manipulation of our food supplies.

Passing the Torch of Life

Includes new song... The Voice by Ace featuring Ken O'Keefe and Gilad Atzmon....

(SACRAMENTO / BOSTON) - In this life, when confronted with immense hardship, we do our best to form with the changes and preserve our hearts.

We know remaining intact on a personal level is essential for the strength of others. We find ourselves suffering yet we move forward, living day by day, and eventually the burden eases.

Open Letter to Miley Cyrus, the Femen of the Year!

Nudity has become the first weapon of women against male chauvinism

(PARIS) - Dear Miley, Mrs. Sinead O'Connor obviously cannot compete with you and particularly not her matronizing and moralizing open letters on her FB page that overall refer to her own disastrous experience of ill-advised star. You did well to give up all polemic with her; she is too vulnerable.

Your marketing team is obviously far more efficient than hers at the time of her beautiful "Nothing compares to you" and the big fun you make around your own clip is amusing the whole world.

Boston Massacre by Sibylline feat. Ace / A.E.M.G

The massacre referred to in this music video is metaphorical, not real. It is merely artistic hyperbole expressing the artists' impact on the music scene. The artists are all dedicated advocates of Truth, Justice, and PEACE

(BOSTON) - This new song by Sibylline featuring Ace (Our writer Agron Belica) from Aldin Entertainment Music Group, brings many things to mind, but it isn't a cause for alarm.

Songs like this have people on the east coast, particularly in Boston, increasingly asking, who is 'Aldin Entertainment'?

Father`s Day with Bill Cosby, an American Original

In 2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante included Bill Cosby in the book, "The 100 Greatest African Americans."

(WASHINGTON DC) - This Father's Day, I was invited by my son Burke and his fiancé Amelia to attend a performance by Bill Cosby at Wolftrap National Park for the Performing Arts in Northern Virginia.

Cosby proclaimed himself "old"---soon to celebrate his 76th birthday---but he sat on stage for nearly three hours, without a break, and there was never s lull in the laughter.

`BETTER DAYZ,` May Your Dreams Come True!

New song unleashes rage on capitalism, Palestine, and Monsanto GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms.”

(TUCSON) - With the world in a state of chronic crisis, are there better days ahead? Jamal Belica and his crew at Aldin Entertainment think so.

On the surface, the prospect looks bleak. With the United Nations’ dismal record in ensuring world peace seemingly destined to make that organization as historically irrelevant as was its predecessor the League of Nation, the hope for better days seems audacious, to say the least.
