Heroes Reborn

"When you look back on the decisions you've made in your short life, the one thing you don't want to feel is regret".

Dubbed the poor man's X-men, Heroes returns to the NBC line-up on Thursday September 24, 2015.  Several original characters were announced not to return either because they had successful movie or tv careers on other shows, so it's going to be a rebuild.  I'm interested in seeing who comes back and the new characters that will have their story line develop.  I saw a storyline from the "Dark Matters" chapter that discrimination against "evolved humans" will take place.  

There was a part where a brother who was human had an evolved sister that went to college and tried to get a job, but human resources told her the position was filled before interviewing her.  Their justification for not giving her a job was that the company only hires humans despite her being qualified for the job. When the brother pointed out that was discrimination, the human police beat him up.  I think the writers are capturing real life events plaguing our society, so it's going to be good.  

To be honest I stopped watching the show after season 1, so hopefully it's better than it ended. It's a new beginning, so I'll give it a fresh start.

Country Music Controversy in Music City

I don't usually post about this but since I live in music city and this is hot topic I will say my bit about the country music controversy.

“If you want to make ratings in country radio, take females out,” Keith Hill tells the industry publication. 

All I have to say is that people like that were waiting in the dark to strike once Taylor Swift left country music.  She single handedly kept country music relevant to the public and when she left the ratings and spins went with her.

Folks that ain't from Nashville or on the country music probably were never aware that a lot of people hated Taylor Swift here.  You saw the award shows and millions of fans, but you never saw the internal struggle she faced trying to gain appreciation in the country music industry.

There were hundreds of Taylor clones or  veteran artists critics always said were better than Taylor Swift, but with each record she managed to sell millions and shine the spotlight on female achieves in the country music genre until it returned to a powerhouse.  I use her as an example when I get hated on thinking people may not like you but remember Taylor Swift kept her head held high, stayed dedicated to her profession, and always succeeded so never give up and keep achieving your dream.  I can't stress this to anyone who has a dream and works hard to achieve it, "Always go where you are appreciated". 

Taylor left country music a year ago, found new friends, created a new image and life for herself. When she left country  music, she took her fame, ratings, and power with her. All I got to say is this is a prime example of why you don't take a young star for granted.  You never know what battles she fought and how much she truly did until you see the results of her absence.
