by: Blake Howerton
I turned on the television to see Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld's bespectacled face bob to and fro across the screen -- apparently he was being filmed by a hand-held camera. It was early July, and I was watching a news program on England's own BBC while on vac...

"Once every few years, a hip-hop artist comes along and puts hip-hop on his back," was what Sean "P. Diddy" Combs said in reference to 50 Cent. 50 Cent started his ascent to fame, fortune and eventual redundancy in 2002-2003. Underground hip-hop also wa...

Jesus Christ
No Longer a Superstar
|
|
by: Stacy Davies
God is not cool. At least not anymore. At least not when it comes to rock & roll. Christian rock, also known as "dork rock," is a laughable genre to those who don't embrace the Good Book. With the exception of some Christian-based bands who hide or deny t...

Why do Classic Rock stations play so few African-American artists?
|
|
by: Douglas E. Hill
Classic rock is a music format I enjoy, even though it is not a radio format that we play on KUCI. Classic rock stations typically play some of the best rock-and-roll that I grew up with in the 1970s on AM-radio, as well as the best from FM-radio that I ...
