Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Dublin

SPECIAL OLYMPICS: DUBLIN
(Monday, June 23, 2003)

On Saturday night, June 21st, the Opening Ceremonies for the Special Olympics International Games took place at Croake Park in Dublin. Just as they do with the regular Olympic games, all the athletes march into the stadium for the Opening Ceremonies by country. Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan and Richie Sambora (along with their wives & children) proudly marched into the stadium accompanying the American athletes. Then, they all returned to the stands to watch the rest of the opening ceremonies - except for Jon, who took the stage to welcome the athletes, their families and the host families and volunteers and citizens of Dublin who made the event possible. He gave tribute to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who started the Special Olympics as a small local backyard event and grew it into an international phenomenon. And he then introduced a video on the growth of the Special Olympics program worldwide. The entire event was televised live on national TV in Ireland. No word on whether the program will air elsewhere around the world. (The Opening Ceremonies themselves were an unbelievable spectacle including performances by Ronan Tyning, The Corrs, Ronan Keating and U2 plus appearances by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Farrell and Muhammed Ali, as well as many other dignitaries, including the President of Ireland and Nelson Mandela. The evening was capped off with the Olympic torch being lit and a huge fireworks display.)

VH1 Presents:

THE GREATEST:

100 GREATEST SONGS OF THE LAST 25 YEARS

Tune in: Mon June 16-20 @ 10/9c PM

Music can divide a nation or unite a generation. Whether R.E.M. croons about “Losing My Religion,” or Bon Jovi is “Livin’ On a Prayer,” music artists are constantly doling out hits that appeal to the public and cause them to dance, rock out, and even cry. Whether it’s rock, pop, rap, or R&B some of the greatest songs have been produced since 1978 and have had a lasting impact.

VH1’s “100 Greatest Songs from the Past 25 Years” will allow the viewers to reminisce with the top 100 songs that have had the greatest influence and effect on music and pop culture for the last quarter-century, premiering Monday, June 16 - 20 @ 10pm (ET/PT).

From "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "My Heart Will Go On," every song on the list has helped define the past 25 years. Not only are they going to show you the best of the past 25 years but they’re going to tell you why and who says. The story behind each song will be told through interviews with legendary artists who created, or were inspired by the song. Prince, U2, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Guns N Roses, Britney Spears and Run-DMC are among the many artists featured.
