Tyler, The Creator and the Fanbase He Built That He Can’t Escape by NWO Sparrow
Tyler, The Creator’s Evolution and the Reckoning of His Early Shock Value by NWO Sparrow When I saw people criticizing Tyler, The Creator again, I understood why some folks felt frustrated. A conversation started online about whether he built an anti-Black fanbase, and things got heated fast. The backlash came after some of his fans disrespected Tyler’s tribute to the late soul legend D’Angelo. That moment said a lot about how his early shock-driven era still lingers in people’s minds. But I think there’s more to the story and more to Tyler.

D'Angelo
In the world of soul and R&B, few names command as much reverence as D'Angelo. The Virginia-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist is a true artist's artist, a figure whose influence far outweighs his relatively small discography. However, this very mystique and his periods away from the spotlight have often led to confusion and concern among fans. Recently, searches like "d'angelo died," "d angelo dead," and "d'angelo 2025" have spiked, causing alarm. It's crucial to set the record straight: The musician D'Angelo is alive.

Dolly Parton
The name Dolly Parton evokes a powerful sense of joy, resilience, and unparalleled talent. As a beloved singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist, she has been a constant and comforting presence in American culture for decades. However, with her advanced age—Dolly Parton is 78 years old—it's natural for fans to express concern about her well-being. Recent online searches like "Dolly Parton health," "is Dolly Parton sick," and "what happened to Dolly Parton" have surged, often fueled by the cyclical nature of internet gossip. This article aims to separate fact from fiction and celebrate the ongoing vitality of a true national treasure.

Desperate Teenage Love Dolls
Punk rock, like other massively impactful human inventions, such as fire and the wheel, has its ultimate and Divine Purpose—but also, alas, its limitations. The A-Bomb has its limitations too, insomuch as it cannot create anything new except a better breeding ground for giant-sized roaches. Desperate Teenage Love Dolls, like the nukes, could also have, at one time, given birth to a new breeding ground for mutant vermin. Alas, the time when it could have wiped out an entire city has long since passed.

Five Songs That Should Find A Permanent Home In The Red Hot Center Of A Collapsing Star
I wasn’t going to participate in this. Music is like pizza toppings… most people like normal, good quality things, and some people are wrong and like pineapple. It’s not worth my time to argue with the neanderthals who like the latter. There’s plenty around to make my blood boil and delving into those songs I spend time consciously avoiding isn’t exactly what I want to do with my free time.

When Talent is Non-Existent
When I saw Sam Spinelli's challenge, asking us to name and shame our five least favourite songs, I got very excited. I can be a grumpy, judgemental, opinionated ass at the best of times (ask Ruth, the good lady wife!), but when it comes to music, I've learned to try and keep schtum when I think something is terrible. All because I'm just trying to be a better person (My Name is Earl opening ref, anyone?).

Rock 'n' Roll Highschool
Riff Randell (actress P.J. Soles) likes to rock ’n’ roll — that much is safe to say. And in this cult hit from 1979, she does her rocking with the help of those lovable lunkheads The Ramones (who, according to singer — the late frog-legged crooner Joey Ramone — once collectively pissed in a beer before handing it to John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon). She’s ensconced at Vince Lombardi High, a school where even Mötley Crüe might feel at home, thanks to all the “smokin’ in the boys room.”
