Joan Jett sounds like Little Richard Foreigner's Juke Box Hero sounds like a Joan Jett song Joan Jett has good taste in cars Joan Jett is a Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Joan Jett flew in a jet like she belongs in Top Gun Introduction           I just had some randomly interesting but unrelated connections between Joan Jett and rock 'n' roll history, as well as other random connections in pop culture. I am using quotes from her 2010 biography,  Joan Jett by: Todd Oldham, to support my thoughts. I bought it off the Blackheart Records shop for $10 half off and have enjoyed it four times over so far. Joan Jett sounds like Little Richard           So, this is quite random because you would never compare Joan Jett with Little Richard, but her style of music sounds just like his. Little Richard saw success in the mid-1950s as one of rock 'n' roll's pioneers, and is referred to as the " Architect of Rock 'n' Roll ," having inspired the Beatles and o

         I recently got to drive a loaner 2024 Acura Integra from the Acura dealership that had 439 miles. It was a base model in Majestic Black with Graystone interior. Driving something new for a change compared to a 2005 Acura TSX has really validated my perspectives on how small cars in the U.S. have changed in 20 years.         What do I mean by this? The TSX feels small and nimble. The pillars are thin, so you can actually see well around you without the need for a backup camera. The steering is tight because it is a sport sedan. I grew up learning how to drive with that tight steering. It feels  fast when you accelerate, even though torque isn't a strong number. I read about people's experiences with old Honda Civics, like from the late 1980s and 1990s. It's easy to say that that it's so much better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow, and the Civic is the epitome of the former, or a Miata. An old Civic is so basic and weighs so little that the driving

Introduction          The shopping cart theory is a viral Internet trend from 2020 that started with a social media post. It describes the act of returning a free shopping cart at a store as defining one's moral character. The author of the post says:          I agree with this sentiment, except at the end, the author gets very direct and finishes off with some more radical statements accusing those who don't return shopping carts like they are ready to invade Poland. While it has received a lot of praise, the shopping cart theory has been accused of being too extreme. I think the author worded their theory too radically, and it really should be taken lightly.         Some people have mentioned being disabled or having chronic pain which would prevent them from returning a cart to a cart return, which they may not have the luxury of parking next to if the parking lot is very full. The words that the author used conveys a harsh sentiment for those who don't strictly follow i

        You open this blog post and your eyes land on the first line of text, about to read it, when suddenly, you look up from your device and you see that you are outside and a big white volleyball is coming straight towards your head. You miraculously grow a six-pack and gain some giant toned muscles as you whack that volleyball back to the other side of the net, where it lands in the sand as the beautiful bodies on the other side dive to attempt to recover the ball. Everyone's smiling and having fun, and you yell a manly growl as you flex your huge chest. As you get into your zone position with your hands on your slightly bent knees with your eyes shooting directly forward at the enemy, you start to hear the faint high-pitched guitar riff of Playing with the Boys, and sure enough, Kenny Loggins comes shuffling onto the beach with his six-string strapped and ready to rock.          The enemy team serves the volleyball as Kenny Loggins unleashes his energy and his joyful movement

          I originally wrote this article with the title of “Is Joan Jett the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll?” but I renamed it to the current title because I think it better reflects why Joan Jett is legendary beyond her musical ability. I wrote a new article about why Joan Jett is the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll that I think better answers the question, that you can read  here . Introduction Is Joan Jett the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll?           The short answer is yes and no. She can be depending on how you define "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll." But I think she is really up there with the legends.           Some people may define Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll as the greatest rock vocalist, and many agree it is usually Ann Wilson ( Nancy Wilson is a great vocalist too), Pat Benatar , or others, but those are the ones that I’m more familiar with and big fans of. They have extremely large vocal ranges that not many well-known people can match.          If the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll is th
