The Last Return of the King
The year was 1973. Elvis’ censored movements on the Ed Sullivan show were now a thing of the past. He was no longer stuck under contract to continue making what he considered to be “dumb ass flicks.” The small room-like stage of the 1968 Comeback Special was now dismantled and gone. Documentaries following Elvis on tour and in Las Vegas were now just the icing on a tremendous cake.

The Genius That Is Bruno Mars
I'm going to start off by saying I am a Bruno Mars SUPERFAN. I received free tickets to his 24K Magic Tour from Spotify (shout out to Spotify) because I literally listen to him everyday. It's just a part of my routine now to put on 24K Magic and jam.

Things You Missed on Taylor Swift’s ‘Are You Ready For It?’ Video
Okay, so I just noticed this morning that Taylor Swift released another music video for her sixth album ‘Reputation’ for one of her new songs, ‘Are You Ready For It?’ If you’ve seen the video already, you may or may not have already realized that you probably missed a few key clues on what the song is really about when you watched it the first time. Am I correct in saying this?

Aly & AJ: Don't Call It a Comeback
For any American kid who grew up in the early 2000s, the name Aly & AJ is sure to ring a bell. The two sisters were a musical duo with their own Disney Channel Original Movie, roles in shows like Phil of the Future, and two full albums, including the iconic Potential Breakup Song. For a good amount of time, they were comparable to other big Disney stars of the time, like Raven Symoné or Hilary Duff. Albums Into the Rush and Insomniatic, respectively released in 2005 and 2007, were major successes for the girls, but by 2008, they were gone. Now, a decade later, Aly & AJ have risen from the dead with their single "Take Me" released in August of 2017. Where were they for ten years, and where are they going now?

Reputation Secret Sessions 13/10/17
I've been a fan of Taylor Swift since I first heard her album Fearless when I was fifteen years old. I was then lucky enough to go to her Speak Now tour when I was seventeen and I have loved her and her music through all her eras: Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989. I've seen her perform live four times and I feel like we've grown up together. Her music has seen me through so many different parts of my life and has definitely helped me get over a few boys.

Jason Aldean Not Backing Down
How is Jason Aldean keeping it together this week? On October 1, the country singer was on stage for the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. When the shooting broke out, it's been widely reported that Aldean left the stage, likely to try and find cover as quickly as he could in the wake of such terror.

Is Dying a Good Career Move?
Dying as a career move may sound like a strange question, but there’s plenty of evidence that it works, at least for the deceased’s benefactors. There are many cases where the person is remembered as they were but also many who seemed to become more wonderful the second they were no longer with us.

Dear Chester: Thank You for Simply Existing
It's strange how you can mourn for someone you have never met, someone who does not even know that you exist. But then there's something called solidarity. Solidarity in knowing that your music was something that brought a whole community of people together. Solidarity in knowing that your voice and music will be engraved in our hearts for as long as we live. And solidarity in knowing that every broken heart will make sure that your memory outlives the many lives you saved.

I Am: A Predisposition
“I AM” is the most powerful force of intent there is. This energy propels humans into being and gives meaning to the human experience. “I AM” is perceived and described as the human ego. I will use examples using the biography of Bob Marley by Timothy White entitled Catch a Fire, which chronicles the effects environment has on the element of being human and how the ego reveals one's destiny, to form a compelling argument that ego is a predisposition and not just a product of a humans environment.

Top 3 Most Influential Musicians
The greatest singer of all time, Whitney Houston, once said, “We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will” (“Music.” Pinterest). And so she did, as she created a timeless array of music that will live on forever in the hearts of many other artists and be passed down to our posterity. For the most part, she was trying to convey an honest and poignant message that we are all on this planet for a limited time and our job is to find our purpose—what we are supposed to give back to the world—and not to die with the music still inside of us. Notably, 2016 was a rough year for many music lovers all over the world. They mourned the deaths of Michael Jackson, George Michael, David Bowie, and just recently Glen Campbell who passed away on August 8th of this year in his late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, these artists all died at a young age. As the world of music lost some of its most prolific, innovative, unique and charismatic artists, all of these musicians have left something behind that people centuries from now could dig out of the ground. When I come to think of the musicians that left a footprint in my heart, three people stand out the most. Even though Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, and Whitney Houston all struggled with addiction, they still launched successful careers and remain very influential in today’s youth.
