INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS is devoted to promoting musicians worldwide. We spotlight exclusive in-depth interviews with both legendary and up and coming music artists and celebrities. We also feature the movers and shakers of the music and publishing industries.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE ROCK STARS GONE?

Rock and Roll, the Blues, and Jazz are America’s contribution to the arts, so why are we not fighting to preserve our own musical legacy and culture?

With roots from the early blues pioneers, the longevity of rock and roll is second to none. But strangely enough, those legendary rock heroes that we were so accustomed to hearing every time we turned our radios on, had mysteriously vanished from the mainstream. The music of the 1960s, 70s, and even the 80s was an important juncture in all of our lives. So many of us timeline life’s precious moments with the music we remember, when the music was so great, when the music mattered. The baby boomer generation is financially imperative to many, yet many of its entertainment standards have been renounced.

One day, the plug was pulled on those legendary music artists. Hackers began stealing music across the internet. Online music stores popularized cheap digital singles and neglected to promote full-length albums. Radio stations changed formats to accommodate talk show radio jocks, while rappers and electronic dance music menaced the airwaves. Notorious record companies began folding in droves. Record companies and radio stations that were once owned and operated by visionaries, were now run by accountants and lawyers, and the music world began promoting untalented wannabes. The economy plummeted, and radio stations became more concerned about how many consecutive commercials they could run instead of providing quality radio programming and entertainment value. Radio stations became corporate machines leaving no room for innovation. Throughout the 2000s, recording studios and live performances began using an audio processor called “Auto-Tune” to disguise off-key inaccuracies in vocal tracks. The device allowed virtually anyone without music skills to become a singer and new waves of mainstream radio stars were instantly fabricated. The business of music became stronger and more important than the art of music.

For more than a decade, I’ve been on a rock and roll pilgrimage to help promote and save the greatest music the world has ever known. Before the internet and Napster, virtuoso musicians traditionally introduced their music by way of mainstream radio stations while anxious music enthusiasts hurried to their favorite record stores and purchased a copy of the artist’s latest release. Talk radio wasn’t popular because there was way too much great music to play over the airwaves. Advertisers didn’t rule the airwaves, the music did. Rock legends toured the world to promote their latest albums and prices of concert tickets were extremely affordable. Proficient musicians, singers, and songwriters are what made the music so great.

  • Naxia's Song: "O Children of The Earth Arise"
    2025/07/26

    Naxia's Song: "O Children of The Earth Arise"

    Based on the novel 'The Liberty Code by Ray Shasho

    [Verse 1]

    I have crossed the silent void,

    Past worlds that burned, and realms destroyed.

    Through every cry in cosmic storm,

    I saw a spark—fragile, warm.

    [Pre-Chorus]

    We watched your kind embrace the flame,

    Then turn to shadows, lost in shame.

    But in your eyes, a restless gleam—

    The ancient pulse of hope... a dream.

    [Chorus]

    O children of the Earth, arise,

    The starlanes wait beyond your skies.

    Your code—etched deep in liberty—

    Can mend what’s torn, can set minds free.

    Let unity be your refrain,

    Or fall again… and leave the chain.

    [Verse 2]

    I have heard the chants of war,

    And silent prayers beneath Earth's floor.

    I’ve seen your prophets cast away,

    Yet truth survives, it finds a way.

    [Bridge]

    We came not as your gods or kings,

    But kindred minds with open wings.

    Your fate was never ours to mold,

    But hearts aligned can break the cold.

    [Final Chorus]

    O architects of destiny,

    Write peace into your legacy.

    Awaken now—The Liberty Code—

    Your final key, your moral code.

    We stand beside—not rule above—

    In faith, in memory, bound by love.

    A final chance, the stars implore…

    Awaken now… and be no more.

    [Outro]

    I return to Centauri’s light,

    But leave this verse in Earth's twilight.

    When you decode its reverent plea—

    May you find the strength… to be free.

    THE LIBERTY CODE BY RAY SHASHO

    In a fractured America ruled by the authoritarian Commonwealth Party, freedom is a relic of the past. Democracy has crumbled, the media is silenced, and truth is a weapon. But one man, Sam Edwards, a decorated Marine veteran and journalist, holds the key to unlocking a future worth fighting for.

    The Liberty Code was meant to be fiction. But with the telepathic guidance of two extraterrestrial Centauri ambassadors, J-Rod and Naxia, it reveals a hidden reality more terrifying, and more hopeful, than anyone imagined. From the classified S4 facility near Area 51 to the ruins of suppressed democracies, Edwards uncovers a global conspiracy and the master plan to stop it.

    After J-Rod’s death, a mission begins to fulfill his vision: the permanent elimination of nuclear weapons, the revival of free societies, and the awakening of Earth's people to a galactic truth long denied. Covert military operations like Operation Yuma liberate nations, and a new chapter begins as Earth’s enemies are exposed and confronted.

    But power resists change. The Commonwealth's grip tightens. The Blackout Committee censors all dissent. Journalists vanish, AI manipulates public perception, and chaos reigns. Through it all, a secret force rises, the Liberty Regiment. Men and women who refuse to surrender, who carry the last ember of the American spirit.

    As the fight for Earth’s soul intensifies, Edwards, along with Naxia and trusted allies, embarks on an interstellar journey to Proxima Centauri b, determined to preserve the truth and document a future shaped by alien allies and human courage.

    The Liberty Code is more than a novel. It’s a battle cry, a love story, and a blueprint for redemption. The truth is no longer hidden. The war for Earth has already begun. Will you decode it?

  • "Liberty Code Prophecy" Music Based On The Novel By Ray Shasho
    2025/07/21

    MUSIC VIDEO BASED ON THE NEW NOVEL BY RAY SHASHO

    "LIBERTY CODE PROPHECY"

    LYRICS

    Verse 1
    Under ancient skies they came and stayed
    Not to rule, but to gently aid
    Built the paths we walked in stone
    Never left us all alone

    Pre-Chorus
    In hidden halls and secret lore
    They watched us break, they watched us soar

    Chorus
    Ohhh, it’s written in the Liberty Code
    From the stars to the streets, it's a heavy load
    We can fight, we can flee — but truth won’t fade
    Peace is the price we’ve delayed

    Verse 2
    Kings and soldiers lost the thread
    Greedy hands pulled what hope had spread
    But through the chaos, quiet and wise
    Alien voices still harmonize

    Bridge
    So rise, brothers, rise through the flame
    We’re the last ones left to stake the claim
    A future made with open hands

    Or buried deep in broken lands

    Final Chorus
    Yeahhh, the Liberty Code still survives
    In the spark behind our weary eyes
    No flags, no fear, just stars above
    It’s time we learn what they meant by love
