Killer Magazine does it again and gives music lovers something to genuinely enjoy when it comes to music literature.  This month’s issue brings bluegrass back into the mix and explains how Billy Strings saved the genre of music for the next generation.  Veteran bluegrass groups, Yonder Mountain String Band, The String Cheese Incident, and Steve Martin and Edie Brickell are also presented to solidify that there’s a bluegrass revolution going on and it’s cool as can be.

After this, Killer Magazine takes a deep inside look at punk rock and determines that it hasn’t died or sold out, but returned to its roots and had no choice but to use mainstream media to have the subculture’s voice heard regarding who and what the punks stand for.  Moving on to the debate about Green Day and their punk roots, Killer Magazine ends the debate about Green Day not being a punk band—because they’re an authentic punk group.  After this, we look at three punk bands in the local scene in three different states.  

Next, we represent three hip-hop artists that deserve more respect for making great rap music.  In this day and age, the genre is having a tough time presenting quality hip-hop artists.  Killer Magazine helps hip-hop fans by showing them how these three artists are helping maintain real rap music. 

K-pop is all the new craze.  It’s more than music.  It’s a training camp and enormous money maker for the music industry.  Killer Magazine showcases six K-pop groups at the top of the genre.

Current alternative music is missing that rawness like we got in the ‘90s.  The article discusses this and infers that newer bands with an edginess need to be discovered.

Finally, we embrace Flea’s new jazz album and let everyone know how awesome it is. 

Turning to the political article, California is in dire straits and needs external help.  What we thought was bad turned out to be much worse in the state.  The article discusses the Left’s lack of concern for lifetime Californians and what needs to be done to change the state for the better.  

The best music magazine in the world is proud to issue its sixth edition—The Jimmy Iovine Edition.  Inside, the life story of Iovine is told and how he’s accomplished much more than all other producers, engineers, and CEOs in the music business and, in turn, became a music industry mogul, philanthropist, and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee.  

After the feature article, Killer Magazine looks at some of the albums that Iovine helped make great.  To date, Iovine has helped produce more than 250 albums all while maintaining a humble demeanor.  He’s the man behind the scenes for many of your favorite artists.  

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band, Tracy Chapman, N.E.R.D, Dire Straits, John Lennon, Gwen Stefani, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are included and their work with Iovine is told like no other magazine to date.  

The Hot Babe of the Month is Aussie dream girl Natalie Roser (Bonner). 

The politics section includes an article about how President Trump’s MAGA movement is now hitting the west coast, and if things continue they way they’re going, California, Oregon, and Washington may flip red before the 2028 presidential election. 

This is a short four chapter e-story.  A work of fiction. Also, available on Amazon Kindle. Print copies available on Amazon.

A unique dissident shows up in Los Angeles and takes the city by surprise.  At first, everything is fun and games.  Then, the hard truth of reality seeps in and it’s learned that this no nonsense, wild man isn’t there for only glitz and glamour.  Eventually, Henry learns that he has a secret crush yearning for his attention.  Because of his notoriety and crudeness, and Ola’s wholesome, it-girl personality, the crush is unable to blossom into a full fledged relationship because of government malfeasance.

      Hint after hint is dropped by the aspiring Russian Hollywood actress to the crazy man to clean-up his act so the two can begin a passionate romance that others envy.  Yet, with the government constantly making their way into Henry’s life the changes he’s willing to make are uprooted when he’s forced to leave the area due to his refusal to accept political values that are against his beliefs and for the good of the public.  

      Even after the separation, Ola ponders about what could’ve been.  As she tries to fill the void of the love she felt, nothing appears to be an adequate substitute.  Her desire for a genuine bond then consumes her so much that she begins to teach women what they shouldn’t accept when it comes to the men in their lives.  The plan has an undercover ulterior motive, though.  Which is to show Henry what she wants him to be so the two can evolve together and, of course, be together.
