Community activism leads to run for office

MSU Denver top Colorado college for enrolled students of colorMelanie Mocciammoccia@msudenver.edu

Ethnic demographics among students in Colorado’s four-year institutions are rising each school year. But the title for the most diversity on campus belongs to an Auraria school.

As of fall 2012, MSU Denver held the highest percentage of students of color with 33 percent, according to a university fact sheet available on the school’s website.

The urban location, strong sup-port system and affordable tuition provide students from every race, background and ethnicity the opportunity to receive a fair and reasonable education.

“For black students, I think

affordability is an issue,” said Winston Grady-Willis, professor and chair of the Department of Africana Studies at MSU Denver. “Also, just the fact that there is a tradition at MSU Denver, sort of being an institution that black students can call home, which has not always been the case for some other institutions in the state.”

Grady-Willis was a professor at Syracuse University and Skidmore College, both prominent institu-tions in New York.

This is his third year at MSU Denver and he believes that the Department of Africana Studies here is as great as any other college in the country.

“I know as a professor — I’m not only a department chair, but a

professor — I know that as some-one who teaches in the classroom, the work that the faculty does in this department is on par with the work of anybody at any Ivy League institution,” Grady-Willis said.

According to Grady-Willis, his department often partners with the MSU Denver Department of Chicana/o Studies. The Latino student population is the highest out of all other ethnicities with 19.5 percent, compared to the black student population, which is 6.3 percent.

It’s vital, Grady-Willis said, to the various departments on campus to make sure that students of every race are welcomed and are able to learn about their different backgrounds. Caucasian students

are part of the program too. “Our department is for every-

one,” Grady-Willis said. The departments don’t only

emphasize on history of ethnic backgrounds, but they also attempt to participate with the community outside of MSU Denver.

“Part of our mission as a de-partment is to not only be active as scholars, to not only do well in the classroom, but to also build bridges with the larger community,” Grady-Willis said. “I think that’s another key thing.”

Being a part of the community is something that attracts students to MSU Denver. The depart-ment tries to teach students about contemporary issues, such as HIV/AIDS, prisons and problems with

the educational system. By participating in outside

activities and having a good GPA, students in the Department of Africana Studies are eligible for three $1,000 scholarships. The department and the Denver Urban League Guild provide the awards.

Not only does MSU Denver have the highest percentage of students of color in the state of Colorado, but it also leads the state in professors of color, at 22 percent.

Grady-Willis takes pride as being a part of the department and believes that it is the best at MSU Denver.

“A place where you literally feel comfortable,” Grady-Willis said. “You feel welcomed, you feel as if you’re not just a statistic.”

Jeremy VanHooser was all about diversity and activism while he was a student at MSU Denver.

His activism and dedication to diversity did not end when he graduated in May 2011. He has been working in the non-profit community consulting for differ-ent organizations in marketing, fundraising and event planning.

Now he plans to take his work to the next level. He’s running as an openly gay candidate for the Colorado House District 1 seat that will be vacated by Jeanne Labuda in 2014.

“I’ve been involved in politics for a while, and I currently serve as captiain of my house district,” VanHooser said. “From there, I started organizing a lot of people and being a general activist. I felt like it was the next logical step from telling people what I wanted to see changed to being part of that change.”

As a student at MSU Denver, VanHooser worked to promote diversity.

“I’ve worked for [Community College of Denver] in the Student Life Office as their human resourc-es intern,” VanHooser said. “I did a lot of their homeless outreach. I worked for Metro in GLBT Student Services at Auraria. I also worked for a year in the Office of Diversity where I helped plan the Higher Education Diversity Summit.”

According to VanHooser’s website, he has lived half of his life

in HD1 and he and his extended family still live there. VanHooser believes in giving back to the com-munity and has been a volunteer as the Democratic Party captain of House District 1B. It’s a position that’s made him known to his constituents.

VanHooser said as a polititian, he would like to focus on civil rights.

“My background has been in diversity and building communi-ty,” VanHooser said. “What I want to see is much more strengthening of our civil rights, not just GLBT rights, but women’s rights, voting rights.”

While working with GLBTSS at MSU Denver, VanHooser helped redefine their GLBT safe zone training and ally development.

“Safe zone training is mak-ing offices and people more GLBT friendly,” said Steve Willich, direc-tor of GLBTSS at Auraria. “We’ve been calling it safe zone ally train-ing because even in offices that are not GLBT friendly, there are allies who are and who can help the of-fice become more tolerant.”

The training, Willich said, is nationally known.

VanHooser said that being gay facilitates a different dynamic in campaigning, but it isn’t a liability in Denver.

“Denver’s fairly GLBT friend-ly,” VanHooser said. “At least one member of City Council and four legislators in the general assembly are openly gay. It’s fairly safe, but it’s a different direction than if you were, say, a straight man running,

or even a woman. You have to be willing to hear people say, ‘I don’t think you should be a person or should be running.’”

VanHooser said that adverse treatment hasn’t been an issue in his life.

“I have seen some, but I wasn’t gay bashed,” he said. “There’s been nothing physical. There’s whispers and stuff, and you hear them. You get used to that. But there was nothing major in my life.

“I was expecting it when I came out, but I didn’t see it. I was wait-ing and I was waiting, and then I was having a panic attack because nothing was happening and I was expecting it.”

Rather than issues arising because he is gay, VanHooser said that he runs into more criticism concerning his age.

“People have no idea how old I am,” he said. “I’m 29, and I don’t look it and I know I don’t look it. They see me as much younger than I am and they say, ‘You haven’t put in your time. You need to pay your dues.’ I’m going, ‘I understand that, but half your legislators started at my age.’ I meet every constitutional requirement, and then some.”

VanHooser has a great respect for those who have forged the path ahead of him, but looks to Colo-rado State Sen. Pat Steadman as an inspiration.

“He’s who I want to grow up to be someday,” VanHooser said. “He’s been doing civil rights work for years. He started with Amend-ment 2 and was one of the lawyers on that. He’s been working all the

way through civil unions now.”VanHooser said he has his pet

issues, but he’s waiting to see what the political landscape looks like should he get elected.

“Things may dramatically change this next year,” he said. “Democrats still have majority in [the house and senate], and if my issues are taken up, I also want to protect and make education more accessible, particularly higher education because I’ve come out of higher ed.”

Though he sees legislative work as the next logical step in his life, VanHooser doesn’t see himself as a career politician.

“I won’t stay in office forever,” he said. “I like helping people and working within the system to help people express their voice because so many people don’t have a voice in the community. I want to help

give them that voice. In the long run, I may end up helping more young people who run for office.”

For now, though, the campaign season is just starting. VanHooser said that his time consists of fun-draising.

“I knew I would be doing fundraising,” he said. “I just didn’t know it would be a lot of fundrais-ing. And then walking and talking to people and knocking on doors and finding out what people want and how I can be their voice in the community. Then the next step is more fundraising.”

Understanding the need for tolerance, VanHooser is reaching out to the state Republicans.

“I’d like to get a hold of people in the Republican party,” he said. “I think it’s important reach across the aisle and show people we’re not so vastly different.”

InSightTheMetropolitan October 3, 2013 5

With the commencement of the NHL season on Oct. 1, and the NBA season on the horizon, it has me thinking about the tremendous potential the Nuggets and Avalanche possess heading into 2013-14, considering the moves each franchise made this o� season.

New head coach Brian Shaw is a breath of fresh rari� ed air for the Nuggets. Shaw served as assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers in 2011-12, and has been given high praise from the Zen Master himself, Phil Jackson—the owner of 11 championship rings and the man Shaw studied under while with the Lakers. � at can’t be a bad thing.

� e hirings of Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy by the Avalanche is exciting. Rest assured the Avs will have a di� erent mantra come the Oct. 2 home opener with Roy behind the bench and the tenacity he’ll bring to the club.

� is, a stark contrast from the ho-hum coaching style of former head man Joe Sacco. � e type of leadership—or lack-thereof—that puts your team in the dra� lottery for the No. 1 overall pick.

Lets not forget that besides being the greatest net-minder of all-time, Roy wasn’t afraid to drop the gloves either. � at type of spirit and passion for the game is unmatched, and I’m ecstatic that St. Patrick is back in the

fold. Roy’s capability of leading the Avs to the post-season may be his big-gest save yet.

When you � nish 29 out of 30 teams as the Avs did, bringing in a person of Roy’s caliber is a respectable move. Not only is he a familiar face with deep ties to the franchise, he’s had coaching experience with the Quebec Ramparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for the bet-ter part of a half dozen years, leading them to a Memorial Cup champion-ship one season into his tenure.

Postseason success is on the horizon for the Nuggets as well. In Shaw I Trust. � e future is bright for us Colorado sports fans. � e dark ages of our

teams not named the Broncos are fading away—a light beacons. Dan Favale, featured columnist for the Bleacher Report, predicts the

Nuggets will � nish 49-33, good enough for the second spot in the North-west Division behind the Oklahoma City � under.

Sean Hartnett of CBS predicts the Avs will � nish last of seven teams in the Central Division, although no overall record was given. I can’t imagine it’s an above .500 record with where he’s ranking them.

My prediction, the Nuggets will win a playo� series for the � rst time since 2009 and the Avalanche will make the playo� s for the � rst time since 2010 come regular season’s end. Rejoice!

Now that the government is shut down, and since I pay for school with federal loans, Congress has prohibited me from having to study anymore for my midterms.

As a Poli-Sci Major, I declare that legal.

Comic created by Robert Shea • rshea5@msudenver.edu

Around this time of the fall semester, the campus is swarming with brain-dead creatures with burdensome backpack, sagging eyes, dragging feet and little to no drive.

As someone that is juggling six classes while putting in about 50 hours into this job per week—I know the midterm-zombie feeling.

I can’t remember the last time I got a full nights sleep, ate a decent meal and honestly I think my ass is glued to my o� ce chair. Serious-ly—I can’t remember the last time I stood up from this uncomfortable, wheeled monster.

� ankfully, myself—and many of my classmates—are modern day Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes. OK, I probably lost you—allow me to clarify.

So “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is a well-known classic by Robert

Louis Stevenson about a doctor that creates this potion that trans-forms him into this “monster” of a man. In the original book, Hyde is a small, frailer looking version of the doctor, but thanks to Hol-lywood, we think Hyde’s a giant monster of a beast. Pick whichever version tickles your fancy.

Anyway, back to the point. In this day and age there is a magic potion, just like Dr. Jekyll’s, that has the ability to transform stu-dents su� ering from the monotony of midterm season. � is potion is called ca� eine.

It has the ability to convert a half awake, waste of a college student into an alert, test annihila-tor that can accomplish just about anything.

Ca� eine is our new-age potion of alteration. It can be found in co� ee, soda, energy drinks—hell, you can even � nd ca� eine in some alcoholic beverages.

Personally, I know that because of ca� eine I have been able to plow

through a multiple page paper, stay awake for an important test and even write a last minute column just a few hours before having to send a newspaper to the printer.

Ya, ya—I get com-paring a college student su� ering through mid-terms to a renowned classic story is a stretch, but you can’t blame me. I’m tired, stressed and haven’t had a sip of caf-feine in 45 minutes.

Modern Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeThe real health care dilemmaKayla Whitneykwhitne2@msudenver.edu@kayla_themet

� e Republicans say Obam-aCare is a mistake. Are they wrong?

We’re going through govern-ment shutdown over ObamaCare, or the A� ordability Care Act. It’s the Republicans’ fault. � ey don’t care about the American people and the thousands who can’t a� ord health care.

ObamaCare is supposed to help those who can’t a� ord medical care by o� ering them something that � ts their budget. Sounds good on the outside, but a closer look re-veals a startlingly draconian side.

� e American public has from Jan. 1 to March 31 to make a deci-sion. Get health care from the gov-ernment or from an outside source or start paying the price.

� at’s right. If you can’t a� ord health care or don’t qualify for deeply discounted government care, you will be punished.

� e penalties will increase over the years as refusal to join contin-ues. � e penalty money will come from tax returns, which should be a pretty trick since most of the working class people I know end up paying rather than getting a return.

Don’t hesitate to join. � ey’re the government. � ey’re going to help us.

If you believe that, perhaps you should know that the majority of U.S. doctors do not.

� e American Medial Asso-ciation has made a huge show of

supporting ObamaCare, includ-ing a photo op in the Rose Garden with white lab coats provided by the White House.

What the AMA hasn’t said though, is that they actually represent less than a quarter of America’s doctors.

In 2012, Forbes magazine did a survey of 5,000 doctors. Sixty percent of those doctors said that ObamaCare would have a negative and restrictive impact on patient care. Forty-three percent said ObamaCare would cause them to retire in the next � ve years.

In another Forbes survey of 3,000 doctors, 55 percent said that the only option for ObamaCare was to repeal and replace the plan.

What a ringing endorsement. I always wanted to be forced by

my government to buy something I can’t a� ord, that not even medical professionals can support.

So, the original question was this: are the Republicans, who are trying to hold up ObamaCare treasonous, unreasonable bastards who are trying to keep the poor, unfortunate, uninsured popula-tion from having a� ordable health care?

Or does the blame lie with the Democrats who are trying to foist upon the American people a health care plan that they themselves will never use?

I’m not suggesting that a gov-ernment shutdown was the right thing to do.

I’m just suggesting that maybe we should take a look at the whys before we start pointing � ngers and laying blame.

The Department of Africana Studies at MSU Denver hosted the two-day Sankofa conference on Sept. 26 in the Tivoli Turnhalle with the theme “Represent: The Influence of Hip-Hop Culture on Race, Space and Identity.”

Chuck D was originally set to speak at St. Cajetan’s building at Auraria, but was moved to the Tivoli Turnhalle to accommodate the gathering crowd.

For decades, Public Enemy has influenced the hip-hop commu-nity, battling oppression and pro-moting political activism through-out the world. Chuck D stressed self-determination to do what you need to do to progress in life, while being your own person.

“You are in a system that wants you to be a consumer, instead of somebody that figures out how to exist as a human being,” he said.

Chuck D rallied the audience by addressing hip-hop’s relevancy in society in its present state, list-ing artists which stopped gang activity with the positivity of music from as Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash.

Chuck D described his mes-sage and opinions he shared as a “vibe session about rap, race and technology.”

He told attendees to go to the origin of hip-hop, reaching back to days of slavery, using lyrics as code and spreading love music.

“Our musical legacy always meant, this is our life, this is sur-vival,” Chuck D said.

He also believes you have to study the migration of people to follow the music up the Mississippi as hip-hop, blues and expression evolved.

“When you take music, and especially black music from educa-tional systems, you re easily strip-ping people and a country that can grow better by learning the history of people,” Chuck D said. “If you deemphasize it, you re stripping people of the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that will even-tually bring us together.”

Chuck D is currently pushing

all of our nation’s radio stations to yield 40 percent of their airtime to local artists within a 150-mile radius through the Occupy Free Air Movement, which he launched in September 2013.

In closing his “vibe session,” Chuck D advised the audience to “leave with your own mind, keep your own opinion” and be aware of the influence technology to own you as a consumer.

He asked the audience not to clap for him saying, “it ain’t about me, it’s about you and how much you can hold on to yourself. Hip-hop is entwined with this because it can give a level of communica-tion and wisdom and understand-ing as a universal language that will open you up.”

Before taking the stage to perform before Chuck D’s address, local artist Ietef Vita aka DJ Cavem Moetavation commented “I like vegetables, I know Chuck D likes vegetables and I think that healthy hip-hop is the way to go and, as an activist, I think we should promote healthy hip-hop the same way Chuck D promoted political issues in the hood.”

DJ Cavem’s lyrics speak out about nutrition being a part of

peace, love and unity. Chuck D supported his friend DJ Cavem, saying “he is able to come with some knowledge, wisdom and un-derstanding. Those are things that can’t be put in the microwave.”

“The event is very enlightening as far as the foundation of hip-hop educating people on it’s expansion and the roots of it,” Arasia Earth, DJ Cavem’s wife said. “Chuck is a large part of the culture and the evolution of hip-hop.”

Dwight Gentry, Brother 2 Brother program coordinator at MSU Denver’s Student Academic Success Center, had a booth set up at the event. He said B2B is just starting out at Auraria, but they have over 30 MSU Denver male students in the program already.

Brother 2 Brother is an urban male initiative program built to as-sist students through “four pillars of success: academic skill build-ing, social enrichment, leadership development and career/graduate school planning,” according to their website.

“The retention and graduation rates are low for males, in par-ticular men of color. We average somewhere close to 12 out of 100 graduates in six years, so we are

trying to improve on that,” Gentry said.

This is the third Sankofa lec-ture series in 18 months, with the first in April 2012.

“For this to gain momentum, it’s a testament, if you will, to the labor of love,” said Dr. B. Afeni McNeely Cobham, visiting assis-tant professor for the Department of Africana Studies. “Wonderful artists like Patrick McGirr and so many others come for free to be part of this, to be a part of the community. So, it’s just galvaniz-ing, which speaks to the heart of hip-hop when you look at it from that perspective.”

McGirr, a painter and graf-fiti artist, airbrushed a portrait of Chuck D, which McGirr created to hang in his daughter’s room for her to look up to.

“Peace and prayers go out to the people in Colorado that lost their homes up in Boulder and be-yond. Just stay alert, pay attention, it’s the cheapest price you can pay,” Chuck D said. After the speech he sat at the edge of the stage to an-swer questions from the audience, followed by an intimate meet and greet with autographs and photos for attendees.

On Sept. 27, Denver band Varlet celebrated the release of its first full-length album, American Hymns at the Hi-Dive in a spec-tacular fashion.

While raindrops fell outside, Varlet called on the musical aid of fellow Denver bands, Tjutjuna, At-tic Attack and Champagne Charlie to warm up the audience with a fantastic blend of rock ‘n’ roll, indie rock and drunken cabaret songs from the sea.

Hipsters, metal heads and mu-sic fans alike converged upon the dimly lit nightclub for a cocktail and a solid lineup of some of Den-ver’s finest talent.

Just after 11:30 p.m. drum-

mer Will Duncan sat atop his throne to warm up his kit. Bassist David Scott strapped in, ready to pluck his axe with a thunderous vengeance as Cole Rudy slowly followed with his amber hollow bodied six-string. Vaughn McPher-son quickly climbed the short and narrow steps on stage to sit behind his piano and organ he declared, “I’m like a 4-year-old boy on Christmas tonight.”

As the boys from Varlet did a quick ambient jam, the lead singer and ferocious vixen Lilly Scott emerged from backstage.

Wrapped in an American flag, Lilly Scott was met by an eruption from the crowd as she grabbed the microphone like Grace Slick in a seductive and passionate manner to start the show off right with “Dirty Sock,” from 2011’s EP, The

Drifter.The show kept its momentum

as the band played a psychedelic shoegaze version of “Cellophane,” from American Hymns. Rudy’s explosive slide guitar was met by a solid lyrical combination from Duncan and Lilly Scott.

The band bounced around through all 11 tracks of American Hymns. The album showcases the many different sides and styles that Varlet was able to accomplish after spending 10 days working with James Barone of Tjutjuna behind the control board at the famed Hideaway Studios in Sedalia.

Duncan’s soulful vocals sent a bone-rattling echo off the back walls of the Hi-Dive as McPher-son’s walking piano line on “The Nod,” were equally matched by Lilly Scott as she danced back and

forth in front of a near sold out crowd.

The band ventured on in a deep-south jazzy cabaret fashion as Lilly Scott announced that they would be slowing things down a bit after an ode to Montel Jordan by saying, “It’s Friday night and I feel all right.”

Rudy then grabbed his mando-lin for a subtle, yet lustful solo as Lilly ran through the jazzy lyrics counting down from eight to one on Varlet’s heartfelt catchy jazz-pop songs “Saunter.”

“Their new tunes were conjur-ing up the best of vibes,” said Matt Vogel, drummer of Champagne Charlie.

Lilly Scott’s voice then sparkled like a diamond in the rough with her call and response backed chorus from the rest of the band on

“So You Go Along.” Varlet gave an epic perfor-

mance backed by Lilly Scott’s pow-erful vocal chords. The new album was played in its entirety ending with “In My Pocket,” the final song from The Drifter.

Nestled away in one of Denver’s most historic parts of the city stands the Rossonian Hotel.

Once known for being one of the hottest jazz spots in town for stars like Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker, the Rossonian was a popular hang out for people in the bohemian gen-eration. Writers like Jack Kerouac used to spend countless evenings drinking and dancing the nights away at the Rossonian’s jazz club.

In tribute to the musical legacy of the hotel and the surrounding neighborhood, a few Denver trans-plants decided to call their rock band, Rossonian.

Rossonian are, just like the neighborhood the band lives in, a constantly evolving indie-rock band. With roots and influences that can be drawn from the likes of Radiohead, Beck and Steely Dan, the guys are a real do-it-yourself kind of band that isn’t afraid to think outside of the box and try something new.

The band has released its first EP, You Are Your Own Dentist, all by themselves. On a cool, breezy fall morning, The Metropolitan was able to catch up with Seth Evans, Kramer Kelling and Scott Roush of Rossonian for a cup of coffee and some quality words.

The Metropolitan: The name Rossonian holds some serious musical and historical context in Denver, how did you guy’s land on that for your band name?

Seth Evans: We kind of threw around a bunch of ideas that no one was super into and didn’t nec-essarily have any sort of meaning or context to us. We all live in the Five Points neighborhood, within

a few blocks of The Rossonian [hotel], so I think it was my idea to one day run it by the dudes and we all thought it was cool. Since there is such a rich, musical history and legacy behind the name Rossonian, mostly for a style of music that we don’t play, we try to parallel behind it. We have been drawing from comes from that beat era where, at the time was kind of on the fore-front of a counter culture. With our music we are trying to tap into that eclectic-ness that was going on back then with our new album.

The Met: How long have you guys known each other?

Scott Roush: About three years.

Kramer Kelling: Scott and I have known each other for six years. We’ve played in a number of other bands with one another.

SR: Kramer and I actually met Seth at a music summer camp that he was teaching keyboards at.

The Met: You guys just released your first EP, You Are Your Own Dentist, can you tell us what’s up with that name and a little about the album?

KK: For me, it’s like a super sarcastic phrase. My ex-girlfriend had some dental tools in her medicine cabinet, and she was like “these days you got to be your own dentist Kramer,” and I just thought that was a pure sarcastic line of beauty.

SE: We are DIY musicians, mu-sically we do everything ourselves. We don’t move on until its right.

SR: Good enough isn’t good enough. It’s got to be right. The name really stems from us being able to and doing everything ourselves.

The Met: The EP sounds very diverse. Is that DIY method of

making music something you guys were going for? Or did that just happen organically?

KK: I think with how diverse the album is, stems from us being completely inundated with so much content all of our lives.

SR: We’re really the first gen-eration to grow up with a wealth of music at our fingertips.

KK: I think not limiting our-selves to one particular style really helped us grow and create this album. Being able to do things our-selves, made the songwriting and recording flow seamlessly.

SR: One thing that adds to the eclectic mix of songs is one of the only rules we tend to abide by, to never do something the same way twice. Otherwise we start to feel as if we are pigeonholing ourselves a bit. There was a ton of trial-and-error going on that helped us really refine our sound.

The Met: How would you guys describe your sound?

SE: You know — we like to say that we play indie-rock and pop, which can encompass so many dif-ferent things and genres.

KK: To me, we are just trying to make widely influence pop mu-sic that’s well received.

SE: But our Twitter page says that we are pop, garage soul, elec-tro sexual rock ‘n’ roll.

The Met: You guys had the privilege of working with graphic designer/photographer extraordi-naire Scott McCormick on your album art, how was that experi-ence?

KK: It was a blast.SR: He is perhaps one of the

most creative people we have ever met, and ideas just come spewing out of him.

SE: He’s such a talented guy that is full of so many unique and crazy ideas. He warned me that he’d be calling me throughout the night with strict instructions to not answer. And when I would, he would just spit out a thousand ideas and then hang up on me. Five minutes later he’d call back and tell me that he figured it all out. He’s an enthusiastic guy who’s not afraid to be himself.

The Met: The future is now, what’s next for Rossonian?

SE: We’re playing the Summit Moon Room on [Oct.] 16 with a band from the U.K., Rook and the Ravens. And we have some other recordings that we’d like to release on a 7-inch in the future.

KK: We’d really like to go on tour back in the Midwest. So we’ll see what happens.

Rossonian moves forward by looking back

“Blacking Up”examines race in hip-hopStephanie Aldertonsalderto@msudenver.edu

MSU Denver’s Sankofa Lecture Series took on race and hip-hop in the fi rst day of the series with the fi lm “Blacking Up.”

At the McNichols Civic Center Building on Colfax, the Depart-ment of Africana Studies spon-sored a screening of the docu-mentary “Blacking Up: Hip-Hop’s Remix of Race and Identity,” which was followed by a discussion with the fi lm’s director, Dr. Robert Clift . Th e fi lm seeks to explore the complex problems of racial percep-tions by looking at the increasingly popular work of Caucasian hip-hop artists.

B. Afeni McNeely Cobham, who teaches African-American

studies at MSU Denver, helped to organize the Sankofa Lecture Series as a supplement to her own teaching. She said she wanted to show “Blacking Up” because of the eff ectiveness of hip-hop as a medium for talking about race and culture.

“I thought it was by far the most provocative and eff ective doc-umentary on race dialogue that has not been able to happen for I’d say this generation of young people,” Cobham said. “Why? Because hip-hop was the backdrop. Now [Clift ] is going to unpack so many diff erent concepts around race and identity, but because hip-hop is there, people are drawn to it.”

Th e fi lm certainly dealt with a wide variety of issues, considering its one-hour length. Th rough inter-views and recorded performances, it looked at what draws Caucasian, suburban youth to a music style borne out of the urban struggles of African-Americans. It showed that Caucasian rappers tend to get a lot of fl ack from others in the

business. Some Caucasian people make fun of them for “trying to be black,” while some African-Amer-icans see them as exploiting black culture in the same way minstrel shows and blackface performers did 100 years ago.

Th e fi lm doesn’t take sides, but it does show the complexity of the issues. It depicts Caucasian performers who use hip-hop as a vehicle for borderline racist comedy, some who wear their hair in dreadlocks and speak with a Jamaican accent and others who just seem to love the music.

Th e fi lm touches on the depic-tion of violence and racism in rap music. One scene shows a “rap battle” where artists of all colors verbally abuse each other with ra-cial and homophobic slurs. It also shows the way hip-hop can bring people of diff erent races together. A scene toward the end of the fi lm has a black break-dancer showing a young Caucasian boy some moves.

Th ere were many empty chairs in the upstairs gallery where the

event took place, but those who did attend had strong opinions about the issues brought up by the fi lm. Aft erward, Clift fi elded an ani-mated question and answer session that lasted about an hour. Cobham eventually had to cut the questions short in order to keep within the time limit.

Roshan Bliss, an attendee who used to live near the small town of Bloomington, Ind., where most of “Blacking Up” was fi lmed, partici-pated in the discussion more than most.

“I grew up in a mostly white place, as one of the only black kids, and a lot of my exposure to hip-hop was actually from my white friends,” Bliss said. “It was them, in a lot of ways, grasping something that was extraneous to Indiana.”

Bliss said he thought “there is validity to the white experience of hip-hop.” As the fi lm showed, not everyone sees it that way. Clift fi nished up the event by explain-ing that race and hip-hop are not “black and white” issues.

“I always tell people my objec-tive is not to answer the race ques-tion,” he said. “My objective was to nuance the discussion around the white hip-hop artists, to kind of complicate it through people, through examples, by getting people to talk, not just by writing a paper.”

It all started with a man in tighty whities.

Two thousand and eighty-three days ago—on Jan. 20, 2008—TV saw the start of a legend. The pilot episode of “Breaking Bad” was the first of 62 episodes that captivated audiences and left fans at the edge of their seats each time the credits rolled.

On Sept. 29, 2013, the five-year journey ended and fans were finally able to sit back, jaws gaping, eyes watering and hearts filled with mixed emotions.

“Felina,” the finale of the series, aired last Sunday. According to Entertainment Weekly, around 10.3

million viewers tuned. A surpris-ing number, considering only 1.9 million viewers watched the season four finale, which aired Oct. 9, 2011.

With the huge popularity of the show at the time of its end, much debate has arisen on the quality of the ending.

Many felt it was too forced, some wanted more of an open-end-ed feel lik the “Sopranos” season finale, while other—including myself—thought it was absolutely perfect.

When the second half of the fifth season started up in August, fans everywhere were constantly questioning what in the hell cre-ator Vince Gilligan’s master plan was.

For those that either haven’t

seen the finale or may be interest-ing in checking out the show at some point, this would be a good point to stop reading. Feel free to catch the last two graphs.

By the last few episodes, we had Walter forced into hiding and on the brink of completely giving up. Jesse was a slave to the white supremacist meth dealers. Hank was dead. Skyler and the children were living a far from perfect life under a terrible spotlight. And the clever Saul Goodman was in Nebraska—poor guy.

After everything the charac-ters had already gone through, it was impossible to guess how it all would end. One could only hope for redemption and grace—and that’s what Gilligan gave us.

Laser pointers, ricin, Stevia,

and a mechanical trunk gun were all it took for Walt to put a beauti-ful end to one hell of a series.

The firefight that takes place at the end is a fantastic mixture of Walt’s cunning creativity to kill people, redemption for Jesse, and a passionate standoff between Mr. White and Pinkman. At first you don’t know which of the two would shoot the other—the anticipation was nerve-racking.

But Walt did the right thing and as retribution for everything he had put Jesse through, he let him go.

The entire episode was—as always—artistically shot. But the best part of it all was the last few moments a gravely injured Walt spent in the meth lab.

When the song “Baby Blue”

started playing as Walt picked up the gasmask—I for one lost it. It was at that moment I realized that this is the end for Walter White. As the camera draws back into the ceiling and a raid of cops bust into the lab, with Walt dead on the floor, five seasons of glory were over.

For me, it was nothing short of perfection.

Since day one, “Breaking Bad” has been an artistic rollercoaster of drama, suspense, wit, tragedy, and at one point or another, every emotion a human being is capable of experiencing.

After more than five years Gilligan gave us what he always dreamed of—the perfect television show, from beginning to end.

Perfect end to five years of glory

It may seem like there’s nothing in space, but that doesn’t mean

you’re safe. “Gravity” is a nonstop suspense

space adventure that keeps your heart pounding and adrenaline up for nearly 90 minutes straight. There really should be a warning that this movie isn’t for the faint of heart.

The premise is pretty basic. Two astronauts are the sole sur-vivors of the Explorer shuttle that was pummeled with debris from a satellite crash. The surviving astro-nauts—Ryan Stone (Sandra Bull-

ock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney)—are forced to make their way to the International Space Sta-tion as their fuel and oxygen levels slowly drain.

The movie is nice enough to give the audience a good dose of comedy and calm at the very beginning. A witty Kowalski drifts around the Explorer, telling hu-morous stories to Houston, while Stone and another astronaut are hard at work outside the ship.

The tranquility doesn’t last long and soon a space shuttle in pieces, a bunch of dead astronauts and Stone spinning off into space. From that moment, the movie is nonstop suspense and you’re constantly questioning what terrible thing will happen next.

The flick is definitely a thrill ride and once it gets going, it doesn’t stop. There are a small handful of peaceful moments that occur within the chaos of charac-ters that float helplessly in space, just trying to find something to grab onto. Probably one of the greatest calm moments involves Bullock’s character barking like a dog as she drifts through space in a damaged escape pod. It’s a mixture of depressing and hilarious.

The last 15 minutes of the movie are the most frustrating and suspenseful minutes of all. After everything that has happened, you just want a moment of redemption and a glimmer of hope. Don’t be surprised if you end up yelling at the moviescreen.

Chances are there will be a few moments where you might pass out because you’ll find yourself hold-ing your breath with the chaotic action or a suffocating character. Please—remember to breathe.

In terms of space adventure movies, “Gravity” doesn’t top the charts by any means. Although it’s thrilling, suspenseful and a great watch, don’t expect to add this to your space movie collection.

The action is pretty repetitive—float here, grab on to this, don’t get hit by debris, avoid this, etc. So don’t be surprised if you experi-ence some déjà vu.

The take away meaning and moral message are pretty cliché and basic—overcome death and survive, no one has ever seen that

in a space movie, right? With the contrived and repeti-

tious moments, this film is forced to ride on its action, suspense, music, visuals and occasional humorous bursts. Those elements in and of themselves are enough to sell it, but still, this movie is really only worth one watch.

The movie comes out this Fri-day, Oct. 4. If you do decide to see it, it’d be a good idea to cough up the dough to see it in theaters. The large screen and surround sound will make it that much more worth it. With all of the amazing Earth shots and detail of space equip-ment and action, there’s no way this movie would be the same on the average living room tube.

When I learned that the alt-rock band Deer Tick was putting out a

new album, I immediately became full of emotions I had long since forgotten from their last album, Divine Providence.

With the recent release of their fifth studio album, Negativity, I found myself longing for that once experienced pleasure and joy I got from Deer Tick in the first place.

The boys from Providence, R.I., have been churning out alter-native indie folk/rock songs since early 2004. I became used to the hard-partying songs the band used

to wrote on their previous four albums, but on Negativity, there’s nothing to laugh about.

The album is a strict lineup of 12 tracks that don’t mess around.

John McCauley experienced some less than hard rocking party times in 2012. His father was sent to prison for tax fraud and his wed-ding engagement crumbled like a pile of dirt in a young boys hand.

Like many other emo-rocking musicians, McCauley projected all of his anger and emotions onto a new set of songs for a new start on a new album.

Negativity opens with “The Rock,” a ‘70s rock anthem so dark, deep and full of emotional text that McCauley pleads through a pure set of heartfelt lyrics with Deer

Tick’s always-solid horn section.The album bobs and weaves

through a number of slower, more serious tracks that seemed hard to get into upon first listen.

About halfway through Negativity at track 6, “Mr. Sticks,” I found myself fully immersed in the album from that point on.

It felt as if Deer Tick lightened the mood on the last half of the album as the band reunited with its twangy alt-soul roots, which drew my attention in the first place.

Overall, the album is another solid product from Deer Tick.

But it seems like they were hav-ing more fun being the hard-rock-ing substance-fueled party rockers we came to know and expect.

When Mazzy Star released the 1996 album Among My Swan, with the

title track “Disappear,” no one thought they would do just that.

Thankfully, Mazzy Star has returned with a new album titled Seasons of Your Day, released Sept. 24 on Rhymes of An Hour Records as the psychedelic dream-pop band picked up right where she left off, on top of her game.

Mazzy Star might be best known for 1993’s ambient pop love song “Fade into You.” The song sent the band into mainstream success rather than its previous underground indie cult follow-ing they had amassed prior to the song’s release.

Seasons of Your Day is an al-bum that acts as if time stood still, while lead singer Hope Sandoval’s raspy intelligent voice echoes in a hazy, relevant, post alternative rock kind of way throughout the entire album.

The album opens with “In the Kingdom,” a dark and twisted masterpiece backed by an Addams Family-esque organ so dark and mysterious it may as well be the theme song to the movie or TV show. Sandoval’s voice is so ade-quately matched by David Roback’s pulsating plucks upon his furiously

thrashing of the slide guitar. The two come together in an incred-ible way to set the tone for the rest of the album as listeners quickly remember why they liked this band so much in the ‘90s.

“California,” the albums sec-ond track, is a little “Over The Hills and Far Away” Led Zeppelin-ish while Sandoval’s vocal’s spew out a late ‘70s psychedelic-folk-rock sound that should make the likes of Lou Reed or Eric Clapton happy.

The 17 years have been worth the wait, but if there is one thing lacking on this album, it’s the fact that Mazzy Star has done little to grow from their last album. The sounds and feelings you find on Seasons of Your Day bring back nostalgic feelings like opening an old photo book to remember the good times. Mazzy Star as a whole connect with listeners on a deep emotional level, something they have always been good at and will most likely continue to do.

The 1940s weren’t so different from today.

That’s what I took away from the Denver Center Theatre Company’s production of “Death of a Salesman,” which premiered last week at the Space Theatre.

The performance was a won-derfully acted and moving per-formance which brought Arthur Miller’s classic play to life.

The performance I attended on Sept. 25 was a preview, but the only signs that it was not opening night were a few barely-perceptible slips in the actors’ lines.

Well, that and the absence of the main star Mike Hartman who was cast as Willy Loman. Hartman had taken a trip to the emergency room the night before, so his understudy, Erik Sandvold, took over the role for the preview performance.

Hartman must be a truly extraordinary actor, because his understudy was brilliant. Sandvold

gave a complex performance as a lost man who dreams of wealth and respect but keeps bumping up against his own failings. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.

The other cast members were excellent as well, particularly John Patrick Hayden as Biff.

The minimalistic set — just a table, chairs and two windows — allowed action to move freely between Willy’s flashbacks and the present, and offered the audience a clear view of the actors from all sides, an important consideration for an arena theatre. The intimate space also helped the action to feel intense and personal.

“Death of a Salesman” was written more than 50 years ago, but the reason it became one of the most famous American plays is because its central themes never go out of date.

Salesmen don’t drive around in Studebaker cars anymore, and you can’t fix a refrigerator for less than $2, but haven’t we all tried to think of ourselves as more popular, talented and special than we really

are? Hasn’t everyone felt frustrated at times with the seemingly un-reachable “American Dream?”

The Denver Center produc-tion captured all of those themes — and more — in a way that made them painfully relevant. Even the costumes looked familiar, consid-ering how popular retro fashion is these days.

The audience consisted of almost as many under thirty-year-olds as over fifty-year-olds, which is a bit unusual for a Denver Center play, and the actors were very ap-preciative of that.

As the action built during the second act, culminating in Biff’s final confrontation with Willy, ev-eryone seemed to be holding their breath. At the end, the audience gave the cast a standing ovation.

It was well deserved. I’ve rarely seen a play that moved or pro-voked me as much as this one did. If you’re thinking about taking advantage of your student discount at the Denver Center, see “Death of a Salesman” first.

Deer Tick lacking that classic vibe

Tess Hagenlock of the Metro women’s soccer team had a spring break to forget when she tore her anterior cruciate ligament roughly five months before her senior season of collegiate soccer began, relegating her to redshirt this sea-son, with another year of collegiate athletic eligibility.

But, she’s kept the ball rolling. Especially since it’s her second go-around with an ACL tear. This time, Hagenlock has been more prepared to cope with the injury.

“Well, it’s been extremely dif-ferent, this one from the previous one. I think a lot of it is maturity,” Hagenlock said. “I’m older and I’m more mentally tough, and I know what to expect now, so that’s definitely been easier.”

Hagenlock was bed-ridden for a week after her first surgery but was mobile with the assistance of crutches the day following her second time under the knife.

Born and raised in Bozeman, Mont., where she was a three-year letter winner in soccer, two-year letter winner in basketball and Montana’s 2010 Gatorade Player of the Year in soccer for Bozeman High School, Hagenlock returned to her home state in March for an ill-fated vacation.

Hagenlock was playing a pickup soccer game when it hap-pened.

“It was actually on the same

field where I [tore] my first ACL,” Hagenlock said.

She tore the ACL in her oppo-site knee during her junior year of high school, which, she explained, is a big college recruiting season. Colleges cannot contact potential recruits until players are of a cer-tain age, usually beginning around their third year of high school because of age restrictions.

Hagenlock had email cor-respondents from colleges prior to tearing her ACL, but the injury took her out of the recruitment running.

Stony Brook University came calling her senior year when she at-tended a tournament that included a player the Seawolves were scout-ing. SBU asked Hagenlock to play for them, and she went with it.

Growing up in the small town of Bozeman, the transition to play in New York was just what the doc-tor ordered, albeit short-lived. She played 16 games in the 2010 fall season for the Seawolves, and then departed at the end of the semester.

In the spring of 2011, she took the semester off and went back to Montana.

“I stayed home and I just worked,” Hagenlock said. “I had two jobs, and just hung out with my family, kind of getting my head on straight before I made any more big decisions.”

Her decision to join the Road-runners evolved through a former Metro women’s soccer player, and Hagenlock’s former high school teammate in Bozeman, Jordan

Simpkins. From what Simpkins told her

about Metro, and the similarity of the state to her home state of Montanta, Metro became a good fit for Hagenlock.

She was not recruited to play at Metro, and when she visited, her tryout with the Roadrunners didn’t go as planned.

“I was God awful,” Hagenlock said laughingly. “It was the worst soccer I’ve ever played in my life.”

She spoke with head coach Adrianne Pietz after the tryout and was adamant about joining the Roadrunners.

“I’m a very quiet person, but I was aggressive about telling her I wanted to play here,” Hagenlock said.

Hagenlock went on to play in 19 games her sophomore season and logged 1,118 minutes with a plus-13 plus/minus rating.

“She was definitely a pleasant surprise in our preseason,” Pietz said.

Hagenlock then started 22 of 23 games her junior year and led the team in assists, while finishing second in goals, points and shot attempts for the Roadrunners.

Hagenlock has found reassur-ance through her Metro teammates while she deals with her knee injury. Senior midfielder Becca Medina tore her ACL in 2012, and senior midfielder Nicole Pollack has dealt with her fair share of knee injuries.

“She’s done a very good job [coping with the knee injury],”

Pietz said. “It’s never easy watching from the sidelines, and she’s still been a leader.”

Hagenlock is out this season, but she has found the silver lining.

“I’m actually really excited that

I get another season because I still have three semesters of school,” Hagenlock said. “So, it’s nice that in my last semester of school, I’ll be playing. That’s one of the positives I’ve taken from getting hurt again.”

Women’s soccer improves 5-0-3 overall

Metro women’s soccer played to a 1-1 draw against Adams State University Sept. 27 at Auraria Field.

Junior forward Brandi Farley scored the lone goal for the Roadrunners in the fourth minute of the game off a pass from junior forward Abby Rolph.

Farley’s shot hit off the Grizzlies goalie and carried into the goal off the momentum of the shot.

The Roadrunners controlled the second half, leading with a 13-4 shot advantage, but it was the Grizzlies who were able to score, when Dezirae Armijo scored off a free kick that got past Roadrunner fresh-man goalie Nicole Jablonski in the 66th minute.

The Runners held a 28-7 shot advan-tage over the Grizzlies, with a 12-5 advan-tage of shots on goal.

In the 4-1 win over New Mexico High-lands University Sept. 28 in Las Vegas, N.M., four different players scored in the first half.

The win improved the Roadrunners to 5-0-3 overall and 3-0-1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Scoring for the Roadrunners were junior forward Karisa Price (4:31), sophomore midfielder Jordan Post (27:18), senior mid-fielder Becca Medina converted a penalty kick for a 3-0 lead, and freshman defender Alexie Marr scored the final goal at 38:54 off a header from senior midfielder Nicole Pollack.

Volleyball knocks off No. 17 CSM

Mario Sanellimsanelli@msudenver.edu@mario_thenmet

Metro volleyball defeated No. 17 Colorado School of Mines in four sets at Auraria Event Center Sept. 27.

The Roadrunners’ 29-27, 20-25, 27-25 and 25-23 victory over the Orediggers extended a three-game Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer-ence winning streak, and four-game winning streak overall after Metro stood at 3-4 Sept. 14.

“I think it’s the only way you win conference,” head coach Deb-bie Hendricks said. “There are go-ing to be enough tough opponents along the way that if you don’t get off to a strong start, it’s really hard to win the conference.”

Metro dropped both meetings against the Orediggers in 2012, losing 3-1 on the road and 3-2 at home. The Lady Runners grinded

out the four set win Friday, going to extra points in the first and third sets.

“We had the advantage of hav-ing Mines at home, but we didn’t take care of that last year, and this year we did,” Hendricks said. “They’re a very difficult team to beat at their place, but we’re going to focus on this one right now. I think this was probably our best win yet.”

Metro hit over .300 in two of the four sets and registered 62 kills in the match, led by junior right side Lauren Quijano, who pounded 17 kills and hit .419. Junior middle backer Kylee Hoagland added nine.

“We’re running a much bet-ter offense, and just our system in general, we’re flowing better,” Hendricks said. “We’ve spent more time feeling the flow than not feeling it, but our offense still has a ways to go in some of the choices we make. The tempo, our ball con-

trol, our passing can still be better, which runs the offense.”

Hendricks attributed the improvement on defense, particu-larly the uptick in blocks, as the area that’s most improved from the start of the season. Metro regis-tered 15 blocks against Mines, the most in a game since 2011.

“We were averaging less than a block a set two weeks ago, and tonight we averaged almost four blocks a set,” Hendricks said. “Our backside defense is getting better. That’s honestly more where we’re seeing the improvement than our offense.”

Quijano and Hoagland each had seven blocks, while senior libe-ro Alex Green pulled 19 defensive digs and junior defensive specialist Savannah Garcia contributed nine in two sets.

“Our defense has been amaz-ing this past weekend,” Quijano said via the Metro State Broadcast Network. “My setter, me and Betty, we’ve been connecting. We’re get-ting closer as friends and it’s all connecting. It’s just great.”

Junior setter Betty Van Lith had 41 assists as she split time in the first two sets with freshman setter Brandi Torr, who had 12.

“We knew coming out that this team was going to be really good,” Quijano told MSBN. “They’re one of our main competitors. I’m ex-cited about the way we played.”

Metro was upset by Colorado Christian University in five sets at Auraria Event Center Sept. 28.

The Cougars defeated Metro 25-21, 21-25, 20-25, 25-20 and 6-15 as CCU rattled off nine straight points to take the deciding fifth set. Eleven of CCU’s 15 points came off 10 hitting errors and one blocking error by the Lady Runners in the fifth. Quijano posted a career-high 22 kills in the loss.

Metro is 7-5 overall and 3-1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Men’s soccer wins 5-1 on roadScott Corbridge kcorbrid@msudenver.edu

Metro’s men’s soccer won 5-1 against Colorado Christian University, Sept. 25 at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood.

The Runners had to overcome an early deficit after a sluggish start when the Cougars were able to score within the first five min-utes of the game.

Metro was able to even the score when junior midfielder Makir Oropeza forced a CCU turn-over in their own backfield and put the ball in the upper corner of the net around the 10 minute mark.

That eventually led to two other goals within a 20-minute span from sophomore forward Danny Arrubla at the 28th minute and one minute later from sopho-more midfielder Pierce Galan.

“The first 10 minutes we did come out a little slow once they scored and we were like, OK hang-overs over. Time to come play.’ And we put five in the net,” Galan said.

The Roadrunners played ag-gressive the rest of the game and controlled the overall tempo by outshooting CCU 23-5 and held a 12-1 advantage on corner kicks. Although they weren’t able to add

another goal in the second half until the 76th minute when Arrubla added his second goal from an as-sist by Galan.

“When we had our chances, we took them and went for it and made something happen,” Galan said.

With the game all but over, Metro added one last goal from redshirt freshman midfielder Roe Shrestha at the 87 minute mark as he was wide open from 18 yards out at the top of the box and put the ball in the upper corner of the net.

“[I] just went out there to work hard and I saw it and I went for it. I got my first goal,” Shrestha said.

Metro’s offense appears to be clicking with 10 goals over the past two games. Head coach Ken Parsons talked about the offense surge.

“A lot of players contributing on the attacking end so that’s good because that’s going to help us in the end,” Parsons said.

Junior right side Lauren Quijano of the Metro volleyball team was named RMAC offensive player of the week Sept. 30. Quijano registered 17 kills and a career-high 22 kills to accom-pany 11 blocks in two matches.

The men’s and women’s cross country teams are both ranked in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Associa-tion NCAA Division II top-25 polls released Sept. 25. Women’s XC remained at No. 9, while the men’s team climbed in at No. 17. It’s the first time since Oct. 26, 2011 that both teams are ranked at the same time.

The Metro women’s golf team finished in third place at the Adams State Invitational Sept. 29. Juniors Jazmine Roland and Dani Look, along with sophomore Valerie Cruz placed third, fifth and sixth respec-tively as the team shot a season-best 707.

Freshman women’s tennis player Nao-mi Holopainen became the second female Roadrunner player in school history to win a regional singles championship with her win in the South Central Region Intercollegiate Tennis Association championship Sept. 29. Freshman Josh Graetz won the singles consolation championship, Adrien Delvaux and Graetz won the doubles consolation championship.

Metro vs. CSU-Pueblo

Metro and Colorado State University-Pueblo ended in a scoreless tie after double over-time Sept. 29 at Auraria Field.

The Roadrunners are 4-1-3 overall and 2-0-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

� e last time the government shut down was when Monica Lewinsky was an unpaid intern, so yeah — just ponder that one for a while.

Breaking Bad’s ending was really just a sick twisted plot of a book Marie stole during season one.

If you wake up with a bullet in your back, � nd a chip in your arm, and have miraculous physical and spy abilities, you’re either on bath salts or named Jason, Jason Bourne that is.

Everyday you wake up you’re one day closer to pooping your pants as a grown adult. Truth. FYI: A glory hole isn’t what it sounds like.

� e real lyrics to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” are “Hold me closer Tony Danza.”

Nicolas Cage is set to appear in a new � lm. � e twist — he somehow manages to still get work.

If you’re thinking of giving up Starbucks co� ee because of the price, just think about how much Victoria’s Secret charges per cup.

You might as well go ahead and ask that guy/girl out that you’ve been staring at all day in class because they are starting to notice, and it’s kinda creepy.

Since the government shut down one can only hope dubstep will die o� , forever.

As the seasons change, an internal desire for creative change arises. Maybe consider introducing music or another creative pursuit into your life.

� ere’s certainly a hole, but the glory part doesn’t always have honorable consequences.
