Fuck Yeah Ann Wilson
Flight To Mars with Ann Wilson perform ‘Rock N Roll’ by Led Zeppelin at the Showbox in Seattle, WA on May 23, 2012 for the 10th anniversary Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation Fundraiser
You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed,
sing like a bird, dizzy in my head,
spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night.
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe,
shine like gold, buzz like a bee.
Just the thought of you can drive me wild.
You make me smile

PARTNERSHIP:
The life and times of Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were an all too brief story of triumph, tragedy, and inspiration. His amazing style and innovation were a bridge between the DJ world that came before him, and the electronic dance music revolution that has transformed the music industry as we know it today. Thanks to the vision and generosity of his mother Andrea Gross, family, and colleagues, through the Memorial Fund created in his name, MusiCares will be receiving support to provide addiction recovery services to our clients. This crucial financial support is being provided as a means to recognize both DJ AM’s profound contribution to the music industry, and his commitment to sobriety, helping others free themselves of the stigma and challenges of substance abuse. It will provide much needed resources to get music people into treatment for their addictions. A special presentation will showcase this partnership, and MusiCares will name the opening DJ set in his honor. It is a fitting tribute given Adam was the first celebrity DJ to play at the fifth annual MusiCares Map Fund benefit concert.
