In honor of turning 50, I decided to make a bunch of '50 Favorite' lists. This is my 50 Favorite Albums. How does one make the list? It has to be something I have in heavy rotation, or at least did at one time, or an album that had an influence on my musical tastes. … Continue reading 50 at 50: Albums
Album Review: U2, Rattle and Hum
What on earth would possess me to write a review of a 36 year old album that has already been written about a million times since its release? Well....for one I'm a huge U2 fan and the other reason that I was scrolling through albums to play on a car ride a few days ago … Continue reading Album Review: U2, Rattle and Hum
Thank You Roman
At WrestleMania 40 we saw the end of the longest title reign in WWE since Hulk Hogan's first tile reign that ran from January 23, 1984 until February 5, 1988 when Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns at the biggest show of the year.

Women’s Wrestling on TV in 2024
POST DRAFT SPECIAL I'm back at it! This year has seen some positive movement after 18 months of backsliding and stagnation everywhere, save for NXT which was on an island of high achievement while the others were floundering.

The Crooked Road to WrestleMania
Now this may all be moot come Thursday night, but as it stands right now WWE has created an awful mess out of what should have been a simple situation.
