Here we go again. The Tuesday Triple Play has been fun to explore some of my favorite topics/activities.
My hike this week is Wild Rose Trail in North Salt Lake. This is a great hike during the the Winter, Spring, and Fall, but is too exposed and gets too hot during the Summer. This trail makes a nice loop which takes you to views of the Great Salt Lake, City Creek, and Salt Lake City. It is very easy, but very enjoyable.
This week the movie is Shocker. A great movie powered by a great soundtrack. The movie is about a mass murderer, Horace Pinker, being executed by the electric chair. Before this Pinker performs a voodoo ritual which allows him to come back as an energy entity. This movie has awesome heavy metal music throughout including Megadeth covering Alice Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” I wish this movie would have made more money, because I really would have enjoyed seeing Pinker become a horror icon. He was that spectacular of a character.
This week, the song I chose is The Price by Twisted Sister. I like songs about sacrifice for success. Anytime I give time, effort, blood for something that is important, I reflect on this song. While it is slower than most of the songs I enjoy, this takes me to a place where I feel the pain of what I feel Dee is trying to get across.
How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can’t believe I’m through
I’ve tried,
Oh, how I’ve tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew
Oh it’s the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it’s worth it to carry on
’cause it’s a game we gotta lose,
Though it’s a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it’s done
Time seems to have frozen,
But the mind can be fooled
As the days pass i discover
Destiny just can’t be ruled
Hard times,
Oh hard times,
For the prize, yes the prize,
I thought i knew
Oh it’s the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it’s worth it to carry on
’cause it’s a game we gotta lose,
Though it’s a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it’s done
Oh it’s the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it’s worth it to carry on
’cause it’s a game we gotta lose,
Though it’s a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it’s done
Oh it’s the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it’s worth it to carry on
’cause it’s a game we gotta lose,
Though it’s a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it’s done
