After a two-year hiatus, Kelly Clarkson is putting it all together with her seventh studio album, entitled "Piece by Piece (Deluxe Version)" (Feb. 27). Although it’s been 13 years since Clarkson claimed the title of being the original "American Idol" (2002-present), this latest album from Clarkson is reassurance that her lasting influence isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. While there are some weak points on the record, it shines as a whole and demonstrates Clarkson’s extreme musical versatility.
A sense of rural serenity and quietude pervades many of Robert Frost’s poems. Such well known lines as “The woods are lovely, dark and deep,” from Frost’s famous “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” (1923) almost effortlessly conjure up images of peaceful landscapes, untroubled by modern ...

The first night of JumBonnaroo played like a scene from “Animal House” (1978). More specifically, it played like the scene in the film where Delta Tau Chi is getting down to the live band’s version of “Shout” (1959) by the Isley Brothers, clad in togas and flailing their limbs to the sounds of a blaring horn section. While JumBonnaroo was devoid of togas, it was not devoid of high energy and wild trumpet solos -- though it did take a while for the energy of the concert to get there.
“Once Upon a Time” (2011 - present) returned for its midseason premiere on March 1, beginning the second half of its fourth season. For such a conceptually nontraditional show, it seems to be taking some risks with its newest plotline: a villainous alliance between Maleficent (Kristin Bauer Van ...

Graduation is a scary thing. It’s even scarier for people like me who are a. still unemployed, b. enjoying college and c. really, really not ready to become an adult. Unfortunately, though, it’s a reality that all of us seniors are going to have to face in just 72 meager little days. There are so ...
