Pearl Jam’s Vs. is a better album than Ten. There, I said it!I know it’s not the popular opinion. Many publications out there will list Pearl Jam’s Ten album as one of the quintessential albums of the ‘90s grunge era. And I’m not here to dissuade you from the idea that it’s not an iconic album.

OPINION: How Concert Etiquette has changed because of ticket scalping, smartphone culture | Front

However, Swift took on that challenge, performing a little over three hours for over 50 shows within the United States. The queue for tickets on Ticketmaster is now referred to as a “war zone” by many. Many were […]

The West’s double standards – opinion

Israelis are outraged at the International Red Cross for refusing to deliver badly needed medications to Israelis being held in Hamas captivity, and for telling the families of hostages that they should consider “the Palestinian side.” This comes after UN Women took almost two months to condemn the massacre and mass rapes that took place on October 7.
