The Impact Of The Beatles On American Culture
There is no underestimating the seismic change in the cultural values of the young baby boomer set in America, no better way of understanding the sea change that occurred in American youth in the early and mid-1960s than by examining the impact on American music due to the advent of the Beatles, the most influential rock band of all time.

BTS Visit The White House . Top Story - June 2022.
Let's admit it, I too, was surprised to see BTS at The White House in Washington D.C. Well, surprised but not overly surprised because after all, they are known to speak out against many social issues at the global level. BTS has built a respectable reputation to speak out against various issues that address the need for change. BTS has accomplished the defeat to break down various cultural barriers that unite people through music from all kinds of cultures, nations, and languages. Therefore, it is no surprise President Biden welcomed BTS to The White House to discuss about the discrimination many Asian Americans have faced over these past few years.

The Assassination of John Lennon
On the evening of December 8th 1980, English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles, was shot and fatally wounded in the archway of The Dakota, his residence in New York City. His killer was Mark David Chapman, an American Beatles fan who was incensed by Lennon's lavish lifestyle and his comment that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus". Chapman said he was inspired by the fictional character Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye, a "phony-killer" who despises hypocrisy.

Learning About Loonasik
In 2021 , I went to a show in Louisville Kentucky. I had heard one of Loonasik’s earlier projects but never had saw him perform. That changed in November of 2021. I heard Loonasik announced and watched him come on stage. During his set, I noticed his energy was live and his lyrics were dark at times but he did it in a way to keep everyone hype. It was really something to see him perform and feed the morale before the show that ended with Ouija Macc.

John Mayer and other overrated white guys
I was 16 years old in the spring of 2002. It was a rough time to be alive, with 9/11 blindsiding us during my sophomore year of high school. But more importantly for the topic of this post, it was a rough time to be a girl. After the mid-90s rise of Lilith Fair, feminist 'zines, and Sassy magazine, our cultural gatekeepers at places like Rolling Stone decided they'd had enough of this feminist crap. What we needed right now was Britney Spears on the cover of aforementioned magazine in her underwear clutching a stuffed animal, in a nod to "pedophilia chic" - one of the grossest cultural trends of the early 2000s. In any event, truly talented singer-songwriters like Fiona Apple were out. Smug white guys with guitars and pretentious NPR voices were ascendant.
