Sometimes Stars Leave Behind Great Mysteries
December brings to mind not only snow, but celebrations, mistletoe, lights, gifts, and a host of memories wrapped around the experiences associated with Christmas. Many often forget the spirit of these celebrations. Jesus Christ not only made his mark on the history of human civilization, he also left behind an influential religion of the mind, containing mysteries hidden inside the depths of Christianity whose answers still await discovery. Maybe, a more real Jesus will give us a better appreciation of his miraculous birth. Scholars are still discovering answers that only hint at the answers waiting in the ruins of ancient Rome.

This Isn't Your Parents' Punk Rock
Punk isn’t dead in the new millennium, but its commercialization and sanitization by the media and recording industry has arguably left it on life support. Is it possible that director Penelope Spheeris or the participants in her groundbreaking documentary on the once underground punk rock scene, The Decline of Western Civilization, could have predicted such a day? Not likely. Was such a fall inevitable? Positively.
