Why Alanis Morissette May Mean More Now, Than Ever Before (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coming of musical age in the 80s and 90s often presented itself as no-win situations. In the era of being deemed a “sell-out” if as an artist you gained fame – fans often received similar ridicule for any type of fandom. Liking mainstream music got the label of basic or soft.

While the current landscape wouldn’t lead one to believe it, at the time the west loop in Chicago needed this type of store. Snacks, coffee, tea, toiletries and a solid lineup of alcohol – beer, wine, spirits.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XU6A!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fs
The History of Rock-n-Roll (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Indiana University Jacobs School of Music - in Bloomington, Indiana is one of the world’s premier schools for musical excellence. Among its esteemed and sometimes distinguished former faculty is a guy named Glenn Gass, who created the first of its kind for credit class in the 80s, and had been included in the music school’s curriculum for a little over ten years when I took MUS - Z201 & Z202 during my sophomore year at IU: The History of Rock-n-Roll. 1<div class="ca
