The River Remembers

Michael Jackson is the greatest performer in the history of music, in my (not-so) humble opinion. He's bigger than Elvis, he's better  than The Beatles, he's thinner thinner than Taylor Swift.

The Smiths rock. According to my vast research (IE, wikipedia) critics have called them "the most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s."

The 80's were such a great time for music. Michael Jackson, Prince,  Hair bands, Abba, and of course, the princess of 80's music(because, obviously, Madonna was the queen) Tiffany.

Obviously, if you're a true fan of music, you can appreciate all genres of music, regardless of whether it's your favorite or not. That being said, it's hard not to appreciate the success(?) of Vanilla Ice.

Johnny Cash is a legend. With numerous awards, multi-platinum records, and a super hot wife, that being June, Cash was a god of music. He was everything that was "cool" about Rock and Roll. Which is why, on this day in 1997, people were saddened when, after falling over on stage reaching for a guitar pick, the "man in black" announced that he had Parkinson's disease... Read Mor

Remember in like, the 50's, when movies would come out that would show scientists meddling with something they had no business meddling with? Wise old men would warn them not to, but they would do it anyway, and then a monster would be accidentally created and would destroy the world until some good looking James-Stewart-type would figure out how to stop it? Well, on this day in 1997 we, and by we

In music, there are very few bands that define a generation. The Beatles, Nirvana, and Miley Cyrus are some of the only ones. There is one band, however, that stands head and pony tail above the rest, and that band....is....KISSSSS.

Music has been, and always will be, one of the most important things in the world. Music draws people together. It creates bonds that no man can break. Music has started and ended wars. It has created marriages. It has inspired generations after generations after generations.

Mmk so, unless you're Canadian, hockey isn't THAT huge of a deal to you. You'll watch it if it's on and nothing  else is, but other than that...meh. But on this day in 2005, the entire world seemed to have it's collective eye on the NHL, because it was decided that there would be no 2004-2005 season!

If you're reading this post, chances are you like music. And if you like music, chances are you like Chicago. And if you like Chicago, chances are you know they formed on this day in 1967. But this article is for those that don't.
