Vinyl (HBO) Episode 10: Zelig, Carnac, or "Record Man"

This is my Episode 10 recap of Vinyl (HBO) - The Season One Finale

They call the episode "Alibi" and I call my recap: Zelig, Carnac, or "Record Man."

In this episode, Richie kind of wins, Zac definitely loses, and The Nasty Bits are fictionally amazing?

The Race of Rock? (Simmons v N.W.A. part 3)

This is my third post concerning the dispute between Gene Simmons of the band Kiss and Ice Cube of the hip-hop group N.W.A.

I am writing this because I was concerned with several of the responses I received yesterday and wanted to make my arguments even more directly to these arguments.

I Hate "The Life of Pablo" - Am I "Rockist" or Right?

I hate "The Life Of Pablo" - nothing personal about Kanye - just the music and some of his messgae. Does this make me a "Rockist" or just right?

I am asking my followers or visitors to read my argument and vote here by leaving a comment or on the Twitter Poll pinned to my profile.

This new feature will generally appear every Wednesday and I will report on the final voting every week. Enjoy!
