pop culture
Epic love stories and relationships as depicted in pop culture, though it rarely turns out like that in real life.
Kate Bush v Tori Amos
It was the mid 80s. I was in a hot car, staring out an open window with my hand riding the rippling air of teenage angst and drama. This journey always managed to send me into a state of mental dreariness, particular during the monotonous landscape miles, which felt like slow motion driving over a B-grade movie set. We regularly travelled this 60 minute journey which took us from a beautiful farm into the nearest decent sized town of 3,000 people. During these trips, if the radio managed to crackle into existence, the local station became my vocal pinnacle and I would mumble along to legendary Australian rock, anticipating the occasional mind bend upon hearing international music

The Beauty Over Brains Debate
The beauty over brains debate is a dispute that has been going on, I’d bet, for at least over a century. If you were to have asked me at the age of 12 what was more important, intellect or beauty, I would have looked at you funny. It was an obvious answer to me. I didn’t even think it needed to be discussed. I thought even the mere questioning of it was a sign of stupidity. “Intellect!”, is what I would’ve yelled with no second thought. I would’ve put brains over beauty every time until I was about 20 years old. But now, after having lived more life, my answer is a resounding vote for beauty.

Waiting For The Green Light
This is inspired / stolen from a Bill Hicks sketch, as he was one of the most intelligent foul mouthed comedians ever. In fact this is going to be an appreciation of the great man with a retelling of the Green Light incident.

A Mommie Dearest In The Making?
First off, I want to apologize for the error I made with my last story about Amber Heard. As I’ve looked deeper online in the available articles and videos on the subject, it appears Amber Heard has NOT been fired from her role in the “Aquaman” sequel. At this time Vocal doesn’t have the option to delete published stories, so I wanted to apologize for that mistake. Second, I wanted reiterate that the statements made in this piece are my personal opinion that has been formed through information readily available to me and the rest of the public online. I don’t know Amber Heard, nor do I have any firsthand knowledge about her character or this entire situation.

We all need a Betty in our lives
This is a tribute to my favourite comic book character Betty Cooper from Archie Comics. Although I have not read an Archie comics book for at least 15 years now, there was a time I was a big fan of them. In my early years in India I was very jubilant whenever my parents or relatives would get me a Archie comic book for my birthday. Sometimes they would get me one in other months as well. What a lovely bonus!! I liked the different comic books (digests) but liked the Betty & Veronica series a lot. I would have preferred if they had a series solely on Betty.
