Why One X is Three Days Graces' Magnum Opus
Introduction: The Emotional Resonsance of My Childhood I remember my first encounter with Three Days Grace well. I was only 9 at the time and had no idea the profound impact the day I spent with my cousin would have on my life. We were in the garage talking to my uncle as he worked on some car-related task. The paint-splattered boom box playing a CD I first mistook for a generic rock group. It was the One X CD which had just come out earlier that year.

Musical Time Capsule: Cold War and Nuclear Anxiety. Content Warning.
I've always been fascinated by the idea that consuming art from previous eras often acts as a history lesson and a living time capsule into what the social and political climate was like at the time. Perhaps I will turn this into a series of other events, somewhere down the road. But for now, I want to focus on the nuclear anxiety from the 60s-80s; where tensions between the US and Soviet Union were at an all time high.

Unbreakable spirits
Reetika Hooda stared at the sprawling Paris skyline from her modest hotel room. The Eiffel Tower stood tall in the distance, a beacon of the city’s grandeur and history. Yet, as she gazed at it, she felt a knot tighten in her stomach. The Paris Olympics had always been a dream, but now, standing on the precipice of her biggest challenge, the reality felt overwhelming.

The Record Shop ritual. Top Story - August 2024.
From The Smiths to WH Smiths, that was the ritual. Almost every Saturday, more often in the holidays. Shuffling from shop to shop, flicking through the racks. What’s new and exciting? What’s old but influential? What did I read about this one?

What is auto glass called?
The term "auto glass" is, in itself, the most accurate and comprehensive term for the glass components of a vehicle. There isn't a more specific, overarching term that encompasses all the different types and functions of glass used in automobiles.

Britney Spears, once hailed as the "Princess of Pop," has experienced a life marked by immense highs and heartbreaking lows.

Marconi Plays the Mamba
The Eighties were a paradisical time of lemonade rivers and cotton candy clouds, where everyone had joy and a high fashion sense: hair was big, and women wore lots of makeup, huge earrings, and blouses with shoulder pads. We all ate delicious McDonald's three meals a day, and movie theater popcorn was covered in a buttery substance equivalent to slamming fourteen Big Macs. Eye shadow, lipstick, rouge, Cyndi Lauper hair, and Debbie Gibson eyes were the cultural touchstones that kept Commieland in relative check. (Well, that, and our nuclear arsenal.)

Why Scorpions “Wind of Change” Is The Song of Freedom
History was a sore subject of mine. The only way I found a loophole in learning was connecting the timeline to movies. But then in 11th grade I had a teacher that had a teaching guidance with movies included like I had used to learn history.
