I Am: A Predisposition
“I AM” is the most powerful force of intent there is. This energy propels humans into being and gives meaning to the human experience. “I AM” is perceived and described as the human ego. I will use examples using the biography of Bob Marley by Timothy White entitled Catch a Fire, which chronicles the effects environment has on the element of being human and how the ego reveals one's destiny, to form a compelling argument that ego is a predisposition and not just a product of a humans environment.

Top 3 Most Influential Musicians
The greatest singer of all time, Whitney Houston, once said, “We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will” (“Music.” Pinterest). And so she did, as she created a timeless array of music that will live on forever in the hearts of many other artists and be passed down to our posterity. For the most part, she was trying to convey an honest and poignant message that we are all on this planet for a limited time and our job is to find our purpose—what we are supposed to give back to the world—and not to die with the music still inside of us. Notably, 2016 was a rough year for many music lovers all over the world. They mourned the deaths of Michael Jackson, George Michael, David Bowie, and just recently Glen Campbell who passed away on August 8th of this year in his late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, these artists all died at a young age. As the world of music lost some of its most prolific, innovative, unique and charismatic artists, all of these musicians have left something behind that people centuries from now could dig out of the ground. When I come to think of the musicians that left a footprint in my heart, three people stand out the most. Even though Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, and Whitney Houston all struggled with addiction, they still launched successful careers and remain very influential in today’s youth.

Taylor Swift, from 16-Year-Old Breakout Star to Now
Taylor Swift, love her or hate her, she just broke a world record. Her new music video, “Look What You Made Me Do” is now the record holder for most views in 24 hours. The previous record was 27.7 million views set by Adele’s song “Hello.” Now one article on EnGadget speculates that it may be because if fans play the music video more than once, they get a better chance of getting tickets for Taylor’s new tour. For those who don’t know, as of August 29, 2017 Miss Swift is not outright selling tickets, instead you can earn points by purchasing certain merchandise and get a better chance of being able to buy a ticket.

Looking Back at Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour
In celebration of Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour coming to DVD and Blu-ray in September, I’m reflecting on her fabulous Nashville concert stop back in January 2016. The two-hour-plus show was the first Music City performance of the superstar’s career, which now spans more than three decades. This egregious fact didn’t go unnoticed by the singer as she jokingly professed to be a “Nashville virgin” when she took the stage.
