In honor of my tenth anniversary at the ABA Journal, I’ve compiled a list of my law and pop culture features:
-
Saw a funny thread depicting some Todd In The Shadows’ Trainwreckords as “Simpsons” memes. So I tried it with some of my Career Killers.
-
We’ve seen several careers come to an end on (or above) the stage of the MTV Video Music Awards.
-
The Cars tried to go back-to-basics with Door to Door. Instead, they broke up for decades.
-
Limp Bizkit were everywhere in the late 90s/early 00s. Then they fell off the face of the earth.
-
Penty of cult artists have gone mainstream. Not Liz Phair…
-
It’s been said that great art comes out of great suffering or adversity. That wasn’t the case for Metallica’s St. Anger.
-
My latest feature. In a lot of ways, this is the story I was born to write.
-
I still can’t believe Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.
-
Lou Reed was a genius. But not because he was a great musician.
Michelle Branch has always had a strong following. Too bad contract law has always been stronger.
Katy Perry was one of the most reliable hit machines in music– until Witness happened.
Who would have thought a concept album inspired by the Falkland Islands War would end the most successful incarnation of Pink Floyd?
At least it was better than Lulu.
