I’m going to put a pause on the Disney College Program blog posts to talk about something that’s been trending in the music world recently (at least in my opinion). The American rock band Bon Jovi kicked off their 2022 tour in Omaha, Nebraska at the CHI Health Center on Friday, April 1. Unfortunately, they... Continue Reading →
What a Rush! (Florida Trip from 3/10/22 to 3/15/22)
On Wednesday, March 9, 2022, I left for Florida at around 10:48 p.m. The first flight was about five hours, so I watched two movies, Ratatouille (2007) and Couples Retreat (2009). We had a layover in Los Angeles and that flight was about four hours. However, our gate was delayed due to bad weather, so... Continue Reading →
Music Lovers Need to Give Skid Row’s ‘Subhuman Race’ a Chance! | Album Review
I can’t remember when I watched it, but in late June 2021, The Contrarians released a new YouTube video titled, “The Contrarians Patreon Zoom Chat: What is a Contrarian Album you would defend to your last Breath!?” Someone mentioned Skid Row’s Subhuman Race (1995) album and I’ve wanted it since.

Jon Bon Jovi vs. Richie Sambora – Who Sang It Better?
Disclaimer: I’m not here to start any drama between Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, nor am I here to make their fans turn against me. These are just my opinions.

Judas Priest’s ‘Firepower’ Has A Lot of Songs, But Most of Them Work | Album Review

Less than a month after the announcement, the band released their 18th studio album, Firepower (2018) on March 9, 2018. Tipton did play on the album, but unfortunately, he couldn’t...

Ranking All of Chris Daughtry’s Performances From ‘The Masked Singer’
If you’ve read my blog before, you’d know that I am a huge fan of American Idol (2002 - 2016 and 2018 - present). Well, I’m a fan of seasons one to eleven.

My Top 10 AC/DC Music Videos
Ever since AC/DC released their music video for “Through the Mists of Time” back in late September of 2021, I’ve wanted to do a post about my top 10 AC/DC music videos. I didn’t want to do the post right away, though, because I’ve already talked about the band a lot last year. But now,... Continue Reading →
Scott Travis Brought the Intensity Judas Priest Needed for ‘Painkiller’ | Album Review
Judas Priest’s Painkiller (1990) album is the first to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced Dave Holland in 1989. It is also vocalist Rob Halford’s last album with the band until Angel of Retribution (2005). I never realized how common it was for band members to leave and return to the band years later. It...
