About Me

A mid-stage millennial who's been fascinated by pop culture since before he can remember, and is dedicated to untangle the mess that it can often be. My opinions are mine and mine alone, and I try to make sure they are as well-researched and understandable as humanly possible. Because there's enough confusion that I have no interest adding to.

  • Tina Turner’s Greatest Triumph
    The Queen of Rock and Roll's resilience, enforced by her unshakable sense of worth, love, and respect for herself, is her greatest legacy.
