There’s simply no way of stopping it! It’s a never-ending, and involuntary process of osmosis. You become changed by the things that you consume, even if it’s just entertainment that, initially, you don’t give much thought towards. Be careful what you let into your…

Tiger Island – Find Out Who You Are (And Do It On Purpose)
If I were in charge of writing the rule book, I’d make it so that everybody got a happy ending. However, in the absence of my expertise, I’d like to let you in on some bad news so bad that it could…

Most of us didn’t learn anything from the great prog-rock bands of the 1970s! Sure, we bought their records. Thousands of copies of them probably get sold every week, still.

Plastic Icons – All Too Much
There’s still fame to be earned in the rock n’ roll business, and there’s money to be made. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen to everyone. In fact, it’s guaranteed to happen to a lot fewer people than…
