When Willie Nelson dropped “On The Road Again” on his 1980 album Honeysuckle Rose, it was a smash hit, rising to the charts and winning Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1981. It stands to reason that Home Free would cover it with their own style. The all vocal band do a good job…

Most often character development becomes campy rendering the story sci-fi in nature, but the story grows philosophically inconsistent. The writers end up rewriting religiously inspired canon in a way that idealizes ‘evil’ and depreciates ‘good.’ There…
Because everything is stupid, a bunch of bored SJWs went after ‘The Magnificent Seven‘ star Chris Pratt. Why? Well, no one really knows. He wore a shirt with the historical “Don’t Tread On Me” flag.
