Some artists can not reach you because their words do not ring true but
Curse & Kisses writes from his own experience that shared
experience that you likely have had all your own. When you have a
songwriter that is unabashedly, unapologetically raw and real what you
get is great music that reaches out and smacks you like an old friend.The
words are written right from deep inside where all that pain gets
tangled up, where the anger is pushed down. Curse & Kisses is a
true artist with words. He reaches deep inside faces his own anger and
pain and puts it all down on paper than turns it into something that
can reach millions of people in the form of music. "Lies" puts it all
out there. Its honest and a true reflection of an entire generations
emotions. It is unafraid! That is what makes great music. That zeal for
honesty. That raw emotion. The music that makes you feel naked in front
of the artist.Learn more about Curse & Kisses at: www.cursenkisses.com/epk

It’s said that the Ford Mustang has starred in more movies than any other car. Now GTB – Ford’s creative agency – have created a real on-screen first for the legendary marque. To celebrate the iconic driving film C’etait un rendez-vous, GTB worked with Claude Lelouch to recreate his iconic original film, in 360 VR.
Lelouch said of the remake: ‘C’etait un rendez-vous was a first in 1976, nobody had ever filmed an urban drive like it. So I was thrilled by the prospect of recreating this high-octane short using the very latest technology: making it even more immersive.’
Says Chief Creative Julian Watt, “The original 1976 movie captured an audacious eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning. It was thrilling and ground breaking. Our idea was to maintain that essential experience, but bring the cinematic thrill of VR and the driving experience of Ford Mustang.”

Dr. Maurice Rawlings, MD, a heart surgeon, has written a number of books on the near-death experience and clearly shows from his own practice and the experiences of his patients, that not everyone goes to the light when they die, where there is total love. He has written of many patients being resuscitated on the operating table and speaking about being in hell, where there was a real devil and demons, and where the inhabitants were tormented with fire. Dr. Rawlings writes that these people are a lot more reluctant to talk about it than those who went to the good place. DivineRevelations.info
