Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Sad songs that will make you cry

3 of 61

I am sorry but I have to write about this conceptually, rather than figuratively - like I do with many of my articles here at HELIUM. Two songs have made me cry over the past 6 month period; a song by Neil Young called, CORTEZ THE KILLER, and a song by Bob Dylan called IDIOT WIND. I have heard these songs over and over, many...

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews Television show reviews: Heroes

6 of 45

There is more to HEROES than meets the eye under casual observance. At this point the show has reached the mid season break of season one; we are experiencing the first true cliffhanger of the series and now is good time to reflect what all that has happened all means. I consider HEROES to be a show burgeoning on attaining t... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Church: To go or not to go

17 of 86

Replace the word "church" with the word "temple" in this question and many people will start to think differently. The word "church" has earned a disreputable affinity with the organization of Christianity, whereas the term "temple" has a more universal affinity with the idea of a "house of God". Now this question takes on a... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Best guitarist alive today

12 of 35

The "best guitarist alive today" is the man or woman that wields an axe and tunes most strongly into the vibrations of their heart, and in due course transmits the music they create to the largest receptive audience, either by recorded medium or by live performance. In essence I am stating that the "happiest guitarist alive"... More..

2 of 3

Tom Waits album review: Orphans Bawlers, Brawlers and Bastards - 2006 If you don't know who Tom Waits is, who he really is, now is an excellent time to find out. His newest album is packed with three cds worth of songs, growls, grunts, raps, stories, scatting and noises that can only be described as an epiphany experience of... More..

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Problems with contemporary trends in rock music

31 of 39

I would like to propose a different way of looking at this idea of supposed "problems with contemporary trends in rock music" and suggest that the true issue lies in the way that the "contemporary mind" analyzes the world around itself. If you think about it, what is really wrong with the modern music industry? It is differe... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Whose music influences you and why

22 of 25

Another trick question! By influence do you want to know what music has influenced my taste in music? Or do you want to know what influence music has had on me as a person... Two great questions for everyone to contemplate, so I will answer both. The first music that I remember listening to that has created the foundation of... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: Green Day

19 of 20

I have never seen Green Day perform live but I recently attended a "Locals Night" show at 924 Gilman Street, the punk rock club in Berkeley, California where Green Day got their beginning. The story of Green Day is not very different than the story of another quite famous rock and roll band; U2. Arising from humble beginning... More..
