As I drove through Belden Village on what was a very pleasant February night, there was a different atmosphere than that of the previous months. Excitement filled the air as it was the beginning of a new era. As I passed the Chick-fil-a parking lot, I noticed that it was not filled to its usual capacity. I had finally arrived at my destination that I had longed for many months. Cars were filed around the building twice and occupied the entire parking lot down to Value City Furniture, as police…

The toned down nature of songs and performers encouraged Rock ‘n’ Roll’s acceptance to a broader audience. In the development of Rock ‘n’ Roll, groups began to organize and fight to censor…

Twenty One Pilots’ album Blurryface captures the emotions and feelings almost everyone experiences, but is too afraid to express. With its multi-genre track list, Blurryface could not be identified as one genre due to the complexity of the melodies, off putting beat changes, and depressing lyrics.

He would even stay after rehearsals to go over certain techniques with me that I hadn't been previously introduced to. He worked really hard his senior year…

Who remembers George Jones and Merle Haggard? George and Merle had their own style of music. They sang the traditional kind of music, but you don’t hear it that much these days. Country music today is going towards the pop genre and it’s not like it was in the 1970’s or even 1980’s. There’s one certain guy who has his own twists to music, his own style of the traditional era and has kept it around for as long as most people can remember. Most people call him “King George”, but he’s really much…

characters from a Mötley Crüe or Iron Maiden music video. I was drawn to the tattoos of this one 40-something woman with dyed red hair. Her arms were covered in signatures, tiny black snakes slithering across her wrists and elbows. Names of various rock stars and movie actors: Alice Cooper, Christopher Lee, Tim Burton, C.C. DeVille, Johnny Depp, John Carpenter. She had made her skin her own permanent autograph book for her idols. She had driven in from New Jersey this morning on a mission to…
