233 and "No Comment"
Well…yeah.
Will This Horror Ever End?
On Wednesday, June 1st the 233rd mass shooting of 2022 occurred in Tulsa, OK. 233rd. Jesus…what is wrong with us? Are we destined (or maybe doomed) to be beset with this kind of mass violence for ever?

One Band, 5 Songs
Hailing from New York City, Living Colour has defied expectations and genres, mixing and melding elements of metal, jazz, funk, punk, and progressive rock (just to name a few) for decades. Best known for their 1988 monster hit "Cult of Personality" the band has produced some of the most innovative music of the last 30 years.
That’s It, I’m Out
So…
