For most of us, when we think of Rock Star an image of a male musician pops up in our head. We consider guys like Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix rock gods, immortalizing them through idol worship and love of their music. But we all know by now that women were there too. Janis Joplin, Debbie ...

It hasn’t even happened and it’s too much for you to bear. And it’s WAY worse than those Valentine’s Day blues that make you want to stay in bed all day eating junk food and spiking your coffee with Baileys to turn your blues into delirium. I’ll say it just this once…it’s the royal wedding. ...
