Best Punk Rock Albums of the Seventies Part 1
When I go out of this world, my thoughts will be three: 1.) I feel very bad about what was done to the Black people. 2.) Punk rock is, as Kurt Cobain observed, the "total escape from pain." However, it is also the music of survivors.

Just A Minute
Introduction As I write this or rather put this together, there are forty-one hours to go before the Vocal "Just A Minute" Challenge, and it got me thinking, what about a playlist of songs that last sixty seconds or less, and there are a lot of good ones that are literally gone in sixty seconds.

Why Actors Like Andreas Szakacs Are Stepping Into Production
From Interpreting Characters to Shaping Stories For many actors, the early years are focused entirely on craft — building emotional range, mastering technique, refining presence. That foundation remains essential. But storytelling decisions often happen long before cameras roll.

can Ozzfest return?
Recently I saw on Instagram how they were asking if should OzzFest return, many support the idea yes i see where you would get the idea that it would be a good idea but since things because of traffic was Ozzy's namesake Festival I i feel like not without Ozzy it shouldn't return because the tradition for Oz Fest was that you see you get to see Ozzy at the end of the night and during the day and the evening and what not until Ozzy comes on stage you get to see pretty cool metal bands too and up and coming metal bands andLegendary metal bands at the end of the night you get to always see Ozzy and stuff and that's where I standThe question should Oz Fest returnAnd can Ozzfest returnI I don't think so it wouldn't be the sameQuite frankly it wouldn't be right at least that's the way I see it that's allPeriodI guess I'm speaking as an Ozzy fan andYes I am speaking as a Ozzy fan and someone that really loves Ozzy. To me it doesn't seem right I mean after all think about this Ozzy just passed and and yet i don't I don't know where yes I do know where I stand I don't think it would work I mean you know this is Ozzy's and Sharon's baby and brainchild and stuff and you know like I said before I just don't i just don't see it that's all that's all I'm trying to say . To have Ozz Fest without its namesake this beautiful child has no way there's just no way that's all. It would be hollow and there would always be a reminder of the fact that Ozzy isn't there. Not only would it be hollow but also empty.

Hot Topic
Hot Topic has had a great evolution in its existence period it began as a heavy metal store that catered to the heavy metal set in its Inception and then as musical trends went on it became something else period hence the name I think that's why the name of the store is Hot Topic because it always stays current andAnd yes it goes along with Trends but still in a good way. That's how you stay successful in business you go along with Trends and you stay current but all the while you stay true to who you are and what your originalBusiness model had been.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

This song was included on a cover album of Willy Chirino songs that I did called en Avenida de Willy Chirino or on Willy Chirino avenue.
