Don’t you just love drama that ends with everyone losing and looking stupid? This week in censorship, that was the case. After an elementary School music teacher secularized the lyrics to “Silent Night” for an upcoming […]
Coldplay continue to slowly U2 on A Head Full of Dreams. However, they also continue to predictably dabble in light plagiarism and all the latest Top 40 fads, so they are able to retain more relevance […]
The man behind the “Gangnam Style” juggernaut is back. However, he’s been “back” before — there was 2013’s “Gentleman” and 2014’s Snoop Dogg-featuring “Hangover,” which have netted roughly 900 and 230-million and YouTube views. And that’s nothing compared […]
