DIANA ROSS

Who could ever forget Diana Ross’s 1983 concert in a torrential rainstorm in New York City’s Central Park? What I remember most vividly was when she was crying, addressing the crowd, and said, “Maybe they’ll let me do it again tomorrow…” as the wind and rain soaked her from head to toe. Well, they did indeed let her do it again the next day. Read More

Downton Abbey

If you were to look back on the most popular shows of the first two decades of the 21st century, you would find a subtle shift in the form of storytelling; there was a new edgier, “millennium” vibe to the stories being told. They were progressive without being too serious (Modern Family), they commented on American consumerism and the deconstruction of American values by… Read More

Madonna Rocks On

I distinctly remember Easter in 1989 when I—a 12-year-old—came downstairs to find my basket. Already past the age of believing in that magical bunny, I was in it mostly for the candy. But to my bewilderment there was indeed an “Easter egg” waiting for me—Madonna’s Like a Prayer album. It may seem like an odd present to celebrate a Christian holiday, but for many Madonna IS… Read More
