Halftime Show
A halftime show is a performance given during the brief period between the first and second halves, or the second and third quarters, of a sporting event. Halftime shows are not given for sports with an irregular or indeterminate number of divisions (such as baseball or boxing), or for sports that do not have an extended period of stoppage in play. Ice hockey games consist of three periods, so there are in effect two halftimes at a hockey game: the first intermission is between the first and second periods, and the second intermission comes between the second and third periods. The intermissions are usually given over to contests involving randomly selected audience members, although for major games, like the Winter Classic, the Stanley Cup Finals, the NHL All-Star Game and the Frozen Four, the intermission between the 2nd and 3rd period often features entertainment typically found during halftime shows. The invention of the halftime show is generally credited to Walter Lin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life Is A Highway
"Life Is a Highway" is a song by Canadian musician Tom Cochrane from his second studio album, ''Mad Mad World'' (1991). The song became a number-one hit in Canada in late 1991.

The song was covered by Chris LeDoux for his 1998 album One Road Man and Rascal Flatts for the ''Cars'' soundtrack. Background and release Cochrane has stated that "Life Is a Highway" was originally conceived in the 1980s as "Love is a Highway" while he was still a member of Red Rider, but was shelved at that time because he felt the unfinished song was unusable. Following a trip with his family to Eastern Africa with the World Vision famine relief organization, Cochrane revisited the song on the advice of his friend John Webster, an instrumentalist on the ''Mad Mad World'' album.

Love Can Move Mountains
"Love Can Move Mountains" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion, recorded for her second English-language studio album, ''Celine Dion'' (1992). Written by Diane Warren and produced by Ric Wake, it was released as the fourth single in October 1992. It is an up-tempo pop song drawing influence from gospel and dance music, and its lyrics detail the abilities that love has as an emotion. "Love Can Move Mountains" was later included on Dion's greatest hits albums, '' All the Way... A Decade of Song'' in 1999 and '' My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection'' in 2008. Critical reception AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis gave the song three out of five stars, noting that there are two remixed radio edits of "Love Can Move Mountains", "one bouncy and the other sleek, and two housey club versions, similar to most dance music from the early '90s in that it seemed to possess a since-lost elegance and a since-lost innocence". Another editor, Stephen Thomas Erlewine picked the song as a standou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
