I Listened To Guy Fieri's New Spotify Playlist And It Is Slammin'

So you don't have to (even though you should).

There are many things that give me anxiety. Taking tests. Being late. Being forced to socialize with other human beings.

But on Memorial Day, I opened Spotify on my phone and experienced anxiety like I had never experienced it before. Among the classic Spotify playlists like Hot Country and Today's Pop Hits, there was a playlist unlike any other I had ever seen. A playlist that sent shivers down my spine.

Country Cookout With Guy Fieri.


My mind immediately went to the grotesque: Guy Fieri plays electric guitar (probably one with flames all over it) in his spare time and has created a Spotify playlist showcasing his skills.

This must be the ninth layer of Hell that Dante Alighieri was talking about.

Then I noticed that the aforementioned playlist had over 7,000 subscribers. That meant one of two things: either Guy Fieri's playlists is not chock full of his Kenny Rogers covers, or it still is and humanity has completely gone to shit.

I decided to put my faith in humanity (quite the leap, I know) and came to the conclusion that it couldn't possibly be a bunch of Guy Fieri covers.

Therefore, my mind moved to another scenario: this playlist was just a compilation of every Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker song ever made. Even the deep cuts. I happen to like Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker, so personally, this scenario didn't concern me in the slightest.

BRING ON THE

But I am not a selfish person, and I realized that most people aren't avid fans of Mr. Rock and Mr. Kracker. This could still be catastrophic. What has the world come to if a whopping 7,000 people have my taste in music? I don't even want to think about it.

Then I realized that I could both get on with my workout and get a definitive answer by just playing the damn playlist.

So I pressed play and...

It was actually really good. My listening experience began with the Willie Nelson classic "On The Road Again", and only got better from there. There was some Darius Rucker. The perfect amount of both Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker. Hell, there was even some Glen Campbell. GLEN CAMPBELL!

I f****** love Glenn Campbell!

And it wasn't just oldies. There was some John Pardi, some Thomas Rhett, and some Chris Stapleton.

And did I mention Glen Campbell?

All in all, if I had to rank Country Cookout With Guy Fieri on a scale from one to gangster, I think it breaks the scale:

I give it a resounding SLAMMIN'.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
