My little brother, John, has always liked to sing and dance. His taste in music is unique and varied, to say the least, so I've decided to share with you his favorite songs. These are the songs John requests on every road trip, the ones he plays around the house at high volumes, the ones the thinks everyone should hear.

1. "Wham Bam" by Silver

"That's my song for whenever I want to have fun."

2. "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Jay and the Americans

"I like the trumpet."

3. "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry

"First of all, Chuck Berry is one of the greatest musicians of all time. Also, I like the upbeat tempo."

4. "Home" by Phillip Phillips

"That's me and my friends' song about how we're always there for each other."

5. "Ooh Child" by The Five Stairsteps

"It reminds me that no matter how hard things are in life, things will always get easier."

"It reminds me that bullies can't get to me... not today!"

10. "Migraine" by Twenty One Pilots

"I like the part where he says 'life has a hopeful undertone.'"

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.

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.

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.
