Peter Breinholt (b. March 31, 1969 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania) is a recording artist popular in the Salt Lake City, Utah local music scene. His music is usually classified as singer-songwriter.
Breinholt grew up in Devon, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, where his father Robert H. Breinholt taught at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.
Peter taught himself to play piano, guitar, and drums growing up. Around the age of 11 he began writing his own songs. Later, as a college student in Utah, Peter began performing at local coffee houses and restaurants. The response was so positive that Peter was quickly pressed to track his compositions for release. The resulting recording, "Songs About the Great Divide" caused a sensation in Utah, eventually being described by Salt Lake Magazine as "an underground classic on Utah college campuses". It became the best-selling, independently released CD ever in the state, almost entirely by word of mouth. Groups like the marching band at Brigham Young University soon began playing the song "You Wear Flowers" on the football field at halftime, and local high school choirs doing their own arrangements of the song. Breinholt began selling out major concert halls in his home state of Utah and eventually in surrounding states.
Peter Sagan (born January 26, 1990 in Žilina) is a Slovak professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTour team Liquigas-Cannondale. Sagan had a successful junior mountain bike racing career, winning the Junior World Championship in 2008, before moving to road racing.
At the age of 22 Sagan is considered to be one of cycling's most promising talents, having won two stages at Paris–Nice, one at the Tour de Romandie, two and the overall classification at the Tour de Pologne, a record eight at the Tour of California, two at the Tour de Suisse, three at the Vuelta a España as well as the overall classification and three stages of the Giro di Sardegna.
Sagan is the youngest child among three brothers and a sister. He was brought up by his sister as his parents spent most of the day taking care of a small grocery shop they own in his hometown. His brother Juraj Sagan is a cyclist with Liquigas-Cannondale.
Sagan started to ride bikes at the age of nine when he joined Cyklistický spolok Žilina, a small local club in his home town. Throughout his junior age Sagan rode both mountain bikes and road bikes, and was well known for his unconventional style to ride in tennis shoes and t-shirts, drinking just pure water. Sagan drew a significant attention when he appeared at the Slovak Cup with a bicycle borrowed off his sister after he had mistakenly sold his own and the one from Velosprint sponsor was delayed. Riding the supermarket bike with poor brakes and limited gear, he won the race.
Wally’s all night grocery is doing well
Magazines and chocolate can't be hard to sell
Dollar for the news of disaster and war
Sometimes I wonder what I buy it for
It's gonna be a better year
Better than the last one dear
Take it easy, it's all right
Take it easy, it‚s all right
This little apartment has a pretty good view
Neighbor’s kids are fighting but they always do
Watching as they pile into the yellow bus
Can't believe next year there will be three of us
Gonna be a better year
Better than the last one dear
Take it easy, it's all right
Take it easy, it‚s all right
And if the weight on your back is too much for you
Do what all the happy people do
Hold the one you love by your side
And let it ride
It's all right, take it easy
Days have gotten short, the amaryllis blooms
There’s a tranquil blue light in these tiny rooms
Every day we hear of a new tragedy
So I am surprised happiness has crept up on me
Everything will be ok
Feel it in my bones today
Take it easy, it's all right
Take it easy, it‚s all right
And if the weight on your back is too much for you
Do what all the happy people do
Hold the one you love by your side
And let it ride
It’s all right, take it easy
It’s all right, take it easy
