Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: AC/DC: 1 of 25
AC/DC is one of the most polarizing bands in rock. Their brand of straight ahead no frills hard rock is seen by many as boring and repetative. Others however, love the music, love the band and see them as more than just a rock group. When they started out in the early 70's, they were just a bunch of teenagers. They were very... More..

Hockey fans enjoy fighting for one simple reason...we live in a violent society.

Sports & Recreation > Hockey Why hockey is a better sport than football: 1 of 11
Why is hockey a better sport than football? That is an interesting question. These are my two favorite sports, but I think most people's answers will depend on which side of the 49th parallel they live. I was born and raised in New York and I currently reside in New Jersey. I don't think you'd find many people around here wh... More..

My eyes lit up when I saw this title. It gives me a chance to write another article on my all time favorite band, AC/DC. They've sold over 71 million albums in the U.S. alone.

Relationships & Family > Blended Families Calling step-parents mom or dad: 11 of 60
I am the proud step-father of a beautiful 10-year old girl. She is my wife's daughter from her first marriage. This is my first marriage. When I first met my wife-to-be, she told me if this relationship was to ever get serious, her daughter was of course, going to be part of the package. I understood. Having a step-parent of... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Are aging rock superstars like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones timeless or too old to perform on stage anymore?: 29 of 151
In November of last year, I saw AC/DC in concert at Madison Square Garden. The band members are all in their 50's and 60's. Judging by the incredible enthusiasm of the sold out crowd, it's safe to say acts like them are timeless and their music will live on forever. The Garden was packed with people of all ages. There were o... More..

Sports & Recreation > Hockey Should the NHL ban hockey players who have multiple suspensions for intentional injury?: 2 of 8
Thunderous hitting is one of the selling points of the NHL marketing scheme. Most commercials put out by the NHL are dominated with bone-crushing body checks. Hitting is promoted, encouraged, and needed. Hockey players are instructed by their coaches and implored by their fans to "take the body." Hockey fans explode at the i... More..

Since its inception in the late 1960's, heavy metal has been under constant attack. Politicians and religious groups have done everything they could to eliminate the genre from pop culture. In their eyes, metal is evil music that encourages rebellious and scandalous behavior. They believe anyone who listens to this "devil mu... More..
