There were two basic waves of music in the early 80’s. There was glam / metal, such as Ratt and Motley Crue, and there was New Wave, the Human League or B-52’s, or even U2. Musicians, at least the ones I knew, tended to fall into the glam camp, as the perception was that the […]

Classic tune, about a guy who loses his girl to the boys of summer, but not that summer is over he’s […]
Camile Paglia dismantles the fakeness of Lady Gaga. I recently had a conversation on Facebook lamenting how annoyingly unoriginal Gaga is. From all accounts, Stefani Germanotta is a very talented woman. But who can tell; whatever gifts she has is layered in the lacquer of commercialism.
