Tom MacDonald took the internet by storm several years ago by triggering every sensibilty known to liberals. He calls girls girls. He calls boys boys. Crazy, I know. But whether you are a hardcore blue haired liberal or a gun waving, monster truck driving right winger or somewhere in between (if that's possible these days), one song that we may all get to put our protest signs down to listen to together is Withdrawals. Addiction doesn't care about political or socioeconomic status. It's only goal is to destroy. If you've ever made a decision to turn your back on addiction you know full well that it does not give you up that easily. And if we are being completely honest we don't give up the addiction that easily either. "Talk about pitfalls, Surrounded by brick walls, This is what kids call, Withdrawals" -Tom MacDonald

This band needs no introduction. If you've never heard of them please come out from whatever rock you have been living under. Appetite For Destruction, the debut album from Guns and Roses, released in the summer of 1987 to rocky reviews. MTV didn't want to play their videos and music store refused to display their album due to the controversial cover art work. However, after a tweak to the cover and a push to get a little playtime on MTV by the next year the album was not only doing well, it was #1. Appetite For Destruction would go on to sell 30 million records worldwide.

Green Day did in 1994 what most punk bands only wish they could have done (the wishes they kept in their hearts for fear of being called a wanna be sell out), they hit the mainstream with a veracity like no other punk band before them. From music videos on MTV to mud slinging fights at Woodstock '94, this band may have been at the right place at the right time, but the conversations they helped bring to the mainstream may have been their biggest contribution.

On November 18th, 1993 one of the greatest live music performances took place and most people didn't know it was happening. Five months later, with the death of Kurt Cobain, the performance began to take on a life and meaning of its own. 30 years later we look back at the struggle of production and the genius of performance and ask the question: Who knows best, the professionals or the artists?

The final Beatles song Now and Then has finally been released. What started out as a demo from John Lennon recorded sometime before his death in 1980, revisited again in 1995 by the three surviving Beatles at the time (George Harrison later passed away in 2001), and finally completed through the help of Peter Jackson (director of the Lord of the Rings films). This song was made possible only because of the use of AI technology. So AI is a good thing, right? Or maybe it's going to be used to take over CEO positions at rum companies and eventually the world. Who knows?! But if AI spells the end of the world at least it helped generate this cool tune to sing along with as the world disintegrates.

I keep a short list of celebrities that I would love to meet in person tucked away in my brain for good measure, Post Malone is on that list. His ability to reach deep within himself and draw his listeners into the process of expression is admirable to say the least. Lyrically, I believe he has encapsulated the feelings of an entire generation, a generation who has had more resources and technology available to them each promising a new way to fill the void they realize within themselves, instead only to find new ways of being disappointed and left empty. Post Malone speaks from that place, that empty place.

A lot can happen in 12 years. That's how long its been between Blink 182's last album Neighborhoods and their latest, One More Time. The original members Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, are back together and in full force. Does this mean one more time for one more album or does this mean so much more?

On September 7, 1996 Tupac Shakur was shot while in the passenger seat of his car moments after attending a Mike Tyson boxing match at the MGM in Las Vegas, Nevada. Six days later, on September 13 he succumbed to his wounds leaving behind a legacy of music and big screen performances. Now, 27 years later an arrest has finally been made in his murder case. What caused a young man's life to be cut so short? Is there anything we can learn from all the violence that occurred in the East Coast versus West Coast rivalry of the 90's? And after all the smoked had cleared, who won anyways?

I am not a "Swiftie" by any stretch of the imagination. However, I have to admit I am highly intrigued by the whirlwind of media surrounding her new found relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce. All she did was show up to a football game! And while we're on the subject, which side are you on? Did Taylor Swift make Travis Kelce a household name or is it the other way around? Does any of this matter? Why do celebrities who will likely never know our names, much less truly know us take so much time and energy from us? Perhaps, it is not them that is the issue. Is it possible that the issue is actually something living within each of us?

The year was 1999 and while everyone was bracing for the end of the world due to the oncoming doom called Y2K the Red Hot Chili Peppers released an album called Californication. The title track of the record did not describe the end of the world. It did, however, describe the dark world as it was and as it would be for the decades to come, a destination for the export of Californication.
