She Loves You
The very first Pop and Beatles record I ever heard. It changed my life forever! It's a joyful message from a friend to a friend, She Loves You. The song launches into the hook right out of the gate and races to an exuberant, exultant end. It changed the world.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Understanding the P. Diddy Controversy and the 50 Cent Factor

However, by 2025, the music industry’s most polished facade finally cracked. What followed was a legal and social collapse so comprehensive that it transformed a global icon into a cautionary tale of power, ego, and accountability.
