Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: American Idol: 4 of 34
American Idol, the quick and short-term fix. This is a great way to become rich and famous. Especially when you're young and your hopes and dreams haven't yet been squashed.

DISEASE, RELIGION, and WAR: A Modern-Day Shaman's History and Vision I once met a man who claimed that he was a Native American Shaman from the Seminole Tribe with mixed African American ancestry. He said that the earth was in a state of transition, that a new consciousness was emerging and the people of the world were hungry... More..
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes How to write a folk song: 3 of 10
The first thing that you need is authenticity. You can't really fake folk music. It's stripped down to the core. There's usually a guitar and a singer. There could be a band behind the guitar and the singer, but the singer/songwriter element is the focus. Lyrics are the heart and soul, and if you want to write a good folk son... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Is Al Qaeda growing stronger despite global anti-terrorism efforts?: 10 of 30
Al Qaeda and groups like Al Qaeda are, without a doubt, Growing. They are right now in a very young stage of development. But the growth will not be cut out. Look, we as Americans and anyone else who wants to oppose the downtrodden and poor parts of humanity need to face the facts. When people suffer to the point where they f... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Are young Americans in their 20s more likely to favor the political left or right?: 7 of 14
The truth isn't so simple as left or right. In fact, the answer lies within each individual case. How were they raised, and who raised them? What kind of education did they receive? Are we talking about rich or poor? Or middle class (if that still exists)? Are they in college? Have they already graduated, gotten married, and ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Gender equality: The Feminization of the American Male: 1 of 1
The Feminization of the American Male A polite history ignores the parts that do not fit into the moral agenda. Textbooks become tools to introduce characteristics in the developing students that are more congenial to the accepted and re-visioned versions on how to be a nicer, kinder, and gentler America. I suppose this way o... More..
Entertainment > Music Business Musicians: The importance of building a fan base: 12 of 19
You won't last long without an audience. Creating a scene is good for musicians. Every band needs a place where people can gather together and enjoy themselves. House parties are great for bands that have relatively no following. It's more difficult to pack the clubs and bars with adoring fans. And when I say fans, or an audi... More..

Health & Fitness > Depression Warning signs that you are depressed: 4 of 6
Pick up a guitar and sing the blues. You know, when I was a kid, I thought that happiness was a real and tangible substance. I thought you could hold it in your palms, that you could reach out and grab a handful. But experience has taught me otherwise. Now I'm more apt to say that happiness is other people, which is a variati... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Will the actions of Lindsay Lohan or other out-of-control celebrities prove fatal to themselves?: 16 of 22
Out of control? Oh come on! How old is she? Are we living in a perfect world now? What has she done that is so evil? Who hasn't driven drunk? The only thing she is really guilty of, is not using her brain. She is very wealthy, and if she wanted, she could hire a driver. I'm not sure why any celebrity or anyone else who has th... More..
