Last night’s show was surprisingly well done. It coul dhave easily been a train wreck, but turned out to be pretty entertaining. Here is my run down. Li’l Rounds was not very good. I’ve decided that she is simply not as good as originally thought. She is not a musician, she’s a singer. And not […]

Do you ever have those days, or weeks, where you feel like maybe, just maybe, this is the moment when it will happen. When every ounce of composure you’ve managed to muster up to this point has slowly been siphoned away and you will finally lose your mind once and for all? Yeah, me too. In fact, […]
