9 June 1963: Johnny Depp Was Born
Born on the 9th of June, 1963 Johnny Depp is a native of Kentucky, having grown up elsewhere in the United States. He is quite possibly one of the most versatile actors of the 20th and 21st Century; he always begs you to question with his changing appearance on roles if you actually know what he really looks like.

Top 5 Young Adult Novel Recommendations
The YA genre is often called out for being overly saturated with "bad literature" by people who respect the classics. But, I beg to differ. If you search through the regulars, you can actually find some really good books in the YA genre. There's a wide array of sub-genres to explore and many different writers and characters to read about. I feel like many people think that YA is really just for teens; but after having to read many a classic novel myself, it's nice to wind down with a wild fantasy or adventure novel particular of the YA umbrella term.

8th of June, 1970: 'Self Portrait' by Bob Dylan Is Released
Recorded between the Spring seasons of 1969 and 1970, this is considered to be one of Bob Dylan's more confusing albums since he doesn't stick to form and does many covers of traditional or other people's songs. Many people intended this to be a very serious change for Dylan since he had changed his sounds and methods before with the "Electric Dylan Controversy," the "Judas" era, and then with the John Wesley Harding Semi-Acoustic era. However, be that as it may—this is what Bob Dylan had to say about it for himself, putting the album into perspective for everyone. Whether this is entirely true or not, we will probably never know; but for now, we've had to take his word for it.

8th of June, 1985: 'Empire Burlesque' by Bob Dylan Was Released
Since time began, I have been ridiculed, made fun of, laughed at and scorned for liking and constantly supporting the confusing and "interesting" album Empire Burlesque. It is a very complicated thing for me to explain since I haven’t really met anyone else who likes the album—but in this article, I will try to give you some background for why I love it.

30 Books to Read Before You Die (Pt. 2)
Hopefully, you've been following along with this series and have read Part 1 already. These lists are not about reading everything and anything but reading the best that literature has to offer. It's about exploring new and different genres, whilst also becoming more aware of different writers, different countries, and different literary movements.

30 Books to Read Before You Die
I love literature, as we all already know. But the one thing I love most of all is sharing my love for literature with everyone else by giving people recommendations and asking for recommendations from others. I like reading new and exciting things that I haven't read before as well as reading around and deeply into my favourite genres. At the time this article was written, I was going through a phase of reading biographies of classic Hollywood actors and actresses.

31st of May 1988: 'Down in the Groove' by Bob Dylan Was Released
Recorded between 1983 and 1987, Down in the Groove is an often forgotten Dylan album, purely because it isn't really like the other albums of the 1980s for him. It has its own character and that character is normally pushed to the background, as everyone is in awe about Empire Burlesque (whether that be positive awe or disgust, it doesn't matter). David Fricke of Rolling Stone Magazine gives some insight into the album for people who want to see the other side:

A Review: 'Dark' Season 1
Here's a bit of background. I had been putting off watching Dark for ages, because I didn't want to get tied down to another TV Show whilst Game of Thrones was still on (I love Game of Thrones). And even before GoT Season eight, I was putting off watching Dark, because it wasn't really that high of a match on Netflix. If you know me, you'll know that I'm all for watching foreign TV shows, because it's really interesting to see the storytelling involved. Now that I've watched Season one, I kind of regret putting it off for so long, because damn this show is addictive.

Top 5 Films About JFK
Now, everyone knows how much I love reading and watching things about the Kennedy brothers. This isn't just the conspiracy stuff, but also things about their life and their legacies, and what they achieved. On May 29, 1917—JFK, possibly the most famous Kennedy, was born.
