Death Valley churning.

Death Valley is the lowest point in North America. ... You can't beat the heat at Death Valley... Wildflowers bring life to the desert. ... Some of the rocks move on their own at Death Valley... If you listen closely, the sands will sing to Joey. ...

Joey Huertas interviews with Reverend Walt Everett on Restorative Justice and Death Penalty.

Excerpt/clip from filmmaker Joey Huertas who interviews Walt Everett, Restorative Justice advocate. Walt is an ardent advocate of the anti-death penalty movement and is active in numerous abolition and restorative justice organizations. His story has been told in numerous publications including an extensive profile in Rolling Stone. In 1987 Walt Everett’s son, Scott, was shot and killed at the age of 24. For almost a year afterwards, Walt’s emotional state moved from rage to depression. He found it difficult to even go through the motions of his work as pastor of a United Methodist Church. It was only at the sentencing when he heard Mike Carlucci express remorse for killing Scott that Walt felt God nudging him towards forgiveness. Walt describes this journey as the most difficult thing he has ever had to do. He wrote to Mike on the first anniversary of Scott’s death. Thus began a correspondence, which led to visits and finally to Walt’s testifying on Mike’s behalf at a parole hearing. Based on this testimony, Mike obtained an early release and went to work for a trucking firm where his boss described him as “the best supervisor I ever had.” Walt and Mike often speak together at universities, churches and community groups about the healing power of forgiveness, healing for both the forgiven and forgiver. Walt is a pastor of United Methodist Church of Hartford, Connecticut. He met his wife at a bereavement group and between them they have six children, four of whom are still living, and eight grandchildren. Walt is an ardent advocate of the anti-death penalty movement and is active in numerous abolition and restorative justice organizations. His story has been told in numerous publications including an extensive profile in Rolling Stone. He believes MVFHR (Murder Victims Families For Human Rights) is “vital to the cause of abolition. MVFHR is an international, non-governmental organization of family members of murder victims and family members of the executed, all of whom oppose the death penalty in all cases. We view the death penalty as a profound violation of human rights. For too long we have allowed nations, including the United States of America, to go it alone when it comes to human rights issues. The intentional taking of a human life is a violation of the growing standards of morality of the worldwide community, and violates, as well, our understanding of who we are in God’s world.”

'Joey From The Bronx' calls out Tommy Lee debacle ! 22k views!, so far.

'Joey From The Bronx' calls out The Stadium Tour's Tommy Lee debacle !

"I Love Rock N Roll" - JOAN JETT

"I don't give a damn 'bout my Bad Reputation"

POISON stole the show, hands down. Totally unexpected. A cheesy pop glam rock band
literally came out with so much energy and so much enthusiasm that they have taken the Stadium Tour to a higher level. JOAN JETT and POISON made this Stadium Tour worth the money $$$.
Tommy Lee's kit with Taylor Hawkins' face on the kick drum skin

Tommy played only 2 songs and then left the stage, to return for 'Home Sweet Home' later.

One packed show. Largest crowd I've experienced since the TAYLOR SWIFT 'REPUTATION' Stadium Tour. Overall, I am honestly rather dumbfounded at how much I enjoyed this multi-band concert, only because so much of what these bands stood for was pretty 80's cheesy. The venue and how it was organized was next level great despite there being sooooo many people there. I went to the show expecting to just study drum kits and see Tommy Lee one last time even if he has zero respect for the band that gave him his celebrity (Tommy Lee was the single reason that I started playing drums, twirling sticks and making rock bands). The Stadium Show was really fantastic and all of the musicians truly played their instruments and performed as if their lives depended on it. From a scale of 1-10 I rate this show at a 9. Taylor Swift gets the 10.
