School of Steelers Rock – Steelers Songs and Video
Image via Wikipedia
I know that this video has been posted all over the web and these kids have been covered by the Post-Gazette but I wanted to post the video here in case you haven’t seen it yet.
The Pop Rocks are a group of middle school kids who formed a group while attending a summer music camp at The Davis School of Guitar Performance which is located in Harmony, Butler County. If you visit Harmony stop in and say hi to the folks who run the Bottlebrush Gallery located in downtown Historic Harmony.
These kids have a great lyrics and performance all set to the tune of Pat Benetar‘s Heartbreaker.

You can read the lyrics to the song here at Steelers Depot. Looking for more Steelers songs? Check out this post at Steezbros. Even Madisonian.net, a blog by Pitt Law professor Mike Madison takes a look at the copyright around this song.
It is really interesting to see all of the Steelers song video’s on YouTube. Just 3 years ago when Steeler’s songs we only had lyrics to share. Continue reading
Count Down to the Super Bowl
Image by daveynin via FlickrThere is a whole lot of reporting and blogging going on about the game next Sunday. They are filled with Steeler and Pittsburgh love Here are a few links that are worth a look…
OneForTheOtherThumb.com – “These are the non-sensical ramblings of a man obsessed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.” This is some serious Steeler’s love. Help him decide where he should watch the big game here.
St. Petersburg Times article on the Steelers connection to Pittsburgh “Bond between Steelers, city unmistakable.” This sentance from the article sums it up…
But the Steelers? They are Pittsburgh.
Post-Gazette Coverage on Steelers gear – you can order Terrible Towel chocolate bars.
Pittsburgh Food Delivered – Tribune Review article on other items you can have shipped anywhere in the US (and maybe farther – can you ship food outside of the US?) Mineo’s Pizza, Pieorgies, Mancini’s Bread
Facie’s Ramblings – Black and Gold Smiley Cookies are here.
But that is beauty of being a Steelers fan and part of Steeler Nation; you just know your team is going to go back to the Super Bowl again. Sure, it might take a few years, maybe even a dozen or so. But it will happen.
Our nation has a new president (more on that later). But more importantly, Steeler Nation has a big week ahead. As a local resident of Steeler Nation, I will continue to listen to the various fight songs on the radio and watch the endless news clips about the game, players, etc. And I will wear Steelers gear as much as possible throughout the next eight (hopefully nine or ten) days.
