When it comes to fans, there are no fans quite as devoted as Elvis fans.  Say what you want to about Beatles fans, Nirvana fans, or whoever else, as Elvis Presley enters year 35 after his untimely death on August 16, 1977, he’s still got legions of fans who make the yearly trek to Graceland […]

He’s not the Six Million Dollar Man nor a Terminator from the future (or the past) with a robotic skeleton, but he is a wounded war veteran with electronic terminal devices, or prosthetics. Dr. Daniel McConnell, who lost his right hand while serving in Afghanistan in 2008, has now lost three of his four prosthetic […]

It’s hard to imagine the situation if you’re currently in the Northern hemisphere, being baked by the summer heat as I am, but on the other side of the world?  Our summer is their winter, and vice-versa.  So while we’re sweating and burning and cursing the cruelty of Helios as we drag our kiddie-pools indoors, […]

Hatred and discrimination in any form is an ugly thing. A group in Germany tried to show some right-wing nationalists that there is a way to end hatred.

When Jeff Bridges got to play the role of Bad Blake in the Oscar-winning 2009 film Crazy Heart, he wasn’t just taking another role in a film career full of iconic work, nor was he simply paying homage to mentor and country legend Stephen Bruton (who co-wrote the original songs for the film with super-producer […]

Born John Kennedy Oswald and named for the president who died the year before he was born, you won’t know him by that name.  You’ll know him by the name he rose to stardom under:  Jani Lane.  The lead singer of the 80’s and early 90’s hair metal band Warrant, Jani Lane was best known […]

Yesterday was a red letter day for Apple.  Apple has been on a meteoric rise from a company value standpoint, and that shows no signs of stopping any time soon.  Just last year, Apple rose into the top ten of most valuable companies in the world.  Apple’s passed Microsoft as the most valuable tech company […]
