Local music is a lot of fun! You should just go out and check out local music. The Grand Rapids Music Scene has plenty to offer from metal, rock, punk, rap, etc. You name it, Grand Rapids has a band for it. For over 20 years, this band has kept music alive on stages all around the city, and they bring their very unique show with them. Ever heard of the Potato Babies?

Well all gotta grow up, and can't be a Toys R' Us kid forever (or can we?) We eventually stop actually playing with action figures and end up wanting CD's, Guitars, Movies, etc! Media stuff! Sadly, due to online streaming and such, many record and movie stores have had to close their doors. Gone are the days of sifting through records and CD's for hours searching for something awesome. Media Play, was that type of store.

We all have something that we remember growing up with.

Some things lasted for years. And there are a lot of things that we look back and and say, "Who came up with this?"

Effective marketing to the child mind grabbed our imaginations, and said that we had to have whatever it was they were advertising.

The HOTTEST TOYS.

Sonic the Hedgehog sure has had some missteps in his most recent games.

There have been a few good ones, but I think that the majority were just bad.

Mario jumped into the third dimension very well, Sonic kind of stumbled a bit. Games like Sonic R, Sonic '06, and my personal hated, Sonic and the Secret Rings.

The, this gem came around and showcased that the 'Blue Dude with 'Tude' still has some life in him.

Back to the Future, quite possibly one of the best trilogies out there. I have been watching these movies since I could walk, and you can find me quoting them quite a bit in normal conversation.

Next year is the year 2015. That is the year which the fictional time-travel character Marty McFly visited in the 1989 movie "Back to the Future Part II."

Along with the Hoverboard, this movie featured something I think would be awesome to have. POWER LACES! ALL RIGHT!

Forty years is incredible for any rock band.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers have been rockin' for four decades. These are the guys who gave us "Bad to the Bone," "I Drink Alone," "Who Do You Love?" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." This is ultimate classic rock with metal along with some blues and country mashed in.

The band's 40th anniversary tour kicks off Feb. 27 in Las Vegas. While it doesn't have any Michigan dates, it has a July 12 concert at Blue Chip Casino & Hotel in Michigan City, Ind.
