Welcome to “New Dad Goggles,” a semi-reoccurring column here. People always ask the hypothetical, “If you could forget and re-experience any piece of media, what would you choose?” You obviously can’t do that, but the next best thing? Becoming a parent. It’ll give you a whole new perspective on life — and the media you […]
For reasons that are still unclear to this writer, few modern musicians — if any — are as polarizing as Taylor Swift. Those who love her, the “Swifties,” offer her unwavering support no matter what she does, or even if she’s an actual witch. Those who hate her could see Swift walk on water, and […]
