Ever since I saw Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) in theaters with my parents, I’ve wanted to see Queen + Adam Lambert live so badly. Five years later, that dream finally came true!

November 2023 Purchases – Just Some CDs and a Whole Lot of Goodness

Who says modern rock music sucks? If you were to ask me that a year ago, I would’ve said, “modern rock sucks and rock ‘n’ roll was only good in the 70s/80s.” However, that was before I discovered Rival Sons; a young band from Long Beach, California that formed in 2009.
