Oscars – Ennio Morricone tribute

I watched the Academy Awards Sunday night, which is the only awards show I watch and enjoy, and was happy to see that Ennio Morricone finally received a tribute from the Academy. I’ve been a fan of his work since the day I first watched A Fistful of Dollars with my Dad when I was about twelve years old. However, I felt the tribute was trashed as soon as they mentioned that Celine Dion was going to sing one of his songs. The happy feeling I felt inside knowing that Ennio Morricone was going to be recognized immediately changed to disgust and dread. Why Celine Dion? Couldn’t they have chosen someone else? Why did it have to be a vocal performance? I think it would have been so much better if the orchestra had played a medley of his most popular themes throughout his career with clips from the movies those themes were from.
If you are a fan of Ennio Morricone and enjoy mixes I highly recommend Morricone RMX.

About ed

I was born and raised in Tallahassee until 1993. There I was raised to love God, Family and the Seminoles, in that order. After meeting a gorgeous girl in 1992 from Jacksonville, where my family had moved to in previous years, I decided to move to Jacksonville where I lived for four years until that gorgeous girl and I decided to move to Orlando. I’ve been living in Orlando with that gorgeous girl since 1997 and still love her and the city. My only major complaint about Orlando is the weather (it’s hot, people, too hot). I have no complaints about her – I love you, baby . I work in the Technology field as a Systems Administrator working with Windows servers and Cisco networking. Because I love my career so much I enjoy technology outside of the work place also. When I’m not exploring new tech gadgets, working on my computers, or tweaking my local home network, I generally enjoy video games, movies, reading and spending time with my family. And when I am not doing all of that, I also work as a consultant for my technology consulting company, EC Technology Consulting, LLC. To sum it up, I’m a tech geek.
