‘I Am Ozzy’ Is Wildly Awesome | Book Review
I don’t remember how I discovered Ozzy Osbourne because it certainly wasn’t through Black Sabbath. I just know that my vivid memory of Ozzy, sort of, was through a season two episode of Hannah Montana titled, “(We’re So Sorry) Uncle Earl,” where Jackson Stewart (played by Jason Earles) does an exaggerated impression of him. Now…
My Top 10 Episodes of ‘Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour’
December 3, 2025 would’ve been Ozzy Osbourne’s 77th birthday. I’m not the biggest Black Sabbath fan, my knowledge on Ozzy’s solo career is as tiny as a ladybug; and I was too young to appreciate the insanity of his reality show, The Osbournes. However, when I got home from the Disney College Program in January…

Kelly Clarkson’s Voice Took Me to Heaven | Concert Review (Studio Sessions – The Las Vegas Residency 2025-2026)
I’ve been a fan of Kelly Clarkson’s music since I was a little girl. Though I have a soft spot for her first two studio albums, I still think she’s put out some stellar music since then. I don’t like everything she’s done, but I admire her for trying out different genres like dance-pop, country,…

Photo by Richard Sibbald / Live Nation On Monday, October 6, 2025, on the car ride to work, my dad casually mentioned that Rush are planning to go back on tour in 2026. I thought it was a joke, at first, because how can the band tour without drummer and lyricist Neil Peart? He passed…
Tom Keifer, Take Me Back, Please! | Concert Review (U.S. Tour 2025)

Ever since AC/DC played Las Vegas this past April, I’ve been obsessed with them all over again. Reminds me of when I was just getting into them during the COVID-19 lockdowns with nothing to do, but listen to AC/DC. Ah, oh so long ago! Back then, I only had two concert films of theirs, No…
Is It Time for AC/DC to Retire?
2025 has been one of the worst years of my life and throughout this hell, music has been my saving grace, especially AC/DC’s music.
