Pitching a tent without poles is a difficult task; sleeping in one for a week is even harder. The wind blows at the feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness. The supposed place of refuge from wilderness becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can…

Now thirty three years into their career, it would be easy for Megadeth to join the likes of many of their contemporaries by living off the nostalgia of the legacy they’ve built. In an age where album anniversary tours are all the rage, the thrash metal legends could easily sustain themselves just by playing mostly old material and putting out new albums with one or two strong songs surrounded by filler every couple years. But luckily for thrash metal fans that’s not what Megadeth elected to do.…
yet the face had no a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. […] But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible” (Dickens, 55). The Ghost of the Christmas Past shows Scrooge his past days that have made him to be the man he is today.

“The wise musicians are those who play what they can master” (Ellington, 2017). The 1960’s were a decade of cultural calamity which with saw the premature political gripes of racial discrimination and ethnic values.
