Day 335

Fresh Start_335: Thank you Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre
As I was watching the first two parts of the newest HBO documentary “The Defiant Ones” I realized something about music that I haven’t before. Watching the rise of Jimmy Iovine and his career that has landed him being a major part in a $3 Billion deal between Beats headphones and Apple, is something that is truly remarkable.

We all love music. Music is something that gets us to work, calms us down, and makes us motivated. Music is a beautiful tool that nothing else in this world can compare to. Music makes a connection with us through the chorus, the hook, melody that gives a certain memory. Close your eyes and picture the first time you heard your favorite song.

The type of work ethic that you see on Instagram from up and coming artists or in documentaries it was built from people like Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. The craziness that is the music business and the evaluation of the business is thanks to Apple with Iovine and Dr. Dre having a minute part of that.

The streaming services was the industries answer for Apple changing the business with the introduction of iTunes. To have the ability to buy your favorite song off an album was game changing, and streaming is no different. You still get your favorite song for just a small fee per month. SoundCloud and Spotify are two different sites that you don’t have pay for music if you don’t want to and that itself is insane.

I’m thankful that music is where it is now because of the ground work that Interscope Records produced. For Jay-Z, Kanye West, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and Drake along with the new guys like Chance the Rapper and Logic to be who they are, the 1990’s needed to happen to music. And now, for Iovine and Dre to be a part of Apple I am excited to see what’s next for the music industry.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
