Rich, explores the behind-the-scenes business of pop music. He goes into great depths about how pop hits are made, and how “artists” are created.

branched off from alternative music. Alternative pop/rock is a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-1980’s and mid-1990’s.

Most alternative pop/rock bands signed onto independent labels in the 80’s. However, they did not receive as much support as the mainstream acts that were on major labels. Soon enough, alternative pop/rock began to be marketed as…

"Wait for me?" "No." "Come on give me like 2 more minutes," I pleaded, running around my house like a crazy woman. "Fine," Regina said, rolling her eyes and plopping down on my couch. Ok I just needed to find the perfect shoes to go with my dress... I went to my room and looked under my bed for my plain black flats. Since I was going to a party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing.…

There was a special bond the three of them shared and when Mike was shot, it shook Rafael and Sonny to the core. Especially Sonny. He was not only a lover but a fellow squad member and police officer. Everything was touch and go during the night. At first, the doctors were unsure if Mike would make it or not until the surgery was over with. After the surgery, Mike remained unconscious but stable. There was no way Sonny could sleep. And whenever he did he envisioned Mike dying and him attending…

Unlike the previous generation of artists, post-war artists cut almost all ties with conceived notions of high art, and continually broke down barriers of what art is and should be about. Critics such as Clement Greenberg described this newly discovered onslaught of art ideology in his essay “Modernist Painting” in 1960, that stated art should be self critical and call attention to itself and the…
