Before Jagged Little Pill sold over 33 million copies and made Alanis Morissette a global force in alternative rock, she was a teenage pop singer in Canada, recording dance-pop tracks that barely hinted at the raw, unfiltered songwriting she would later unleash. Her early success in the Canadian music industry gave her a foundation, but it wasn’t until she relocated to Los Angeles and teamed up with producer Glen Ballard that she found the voice that would define a generation. What followed was an explosion of personal, brutally honest songwriting that set her apart from the manufactured pop of the The post Complete List Of Alanis Morissette Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Reminder of What We Almost Had to Endure

“Worcester has gone crazy!” people say to me as I travel about the city. “When is the city council going to get back to city business?” I was bombarded by tons of responses from constituents this past week because I was one of only two votes against making Worcester a “sanctuary city” for transgender and gender-diverse people. The comments were overwhelmingly supportive, encouraging, and extremely thankful to me for “being the voice of common sense.”This decision was not made lightly. I spent hours listening to passionate stories from members of the LGBTQ community. It became clear that while they are indeed victims, they are not victims of policies lacking from our city but rather of an agenda seeking to divide our community and use these residents as pawns.Though my vote against the 'sanctuary' resolution may define part of my tenure, I am prepared to stand by it, knowing it was cast in the best interest of the whole community.The proposed sanctuary resolution was symbolic and would not have provided additional protections beyond those already in place. The term "sanctuary" was used provocatively to draw attention, which it did — garnering both national and international headlines. However, it also risks vital federal funding necessary for critical services in our city.Roughly one in five Worcester residents — 19.8% — live in poverty, relying on federally funded programs that provide essential housing, food, and health care support. As someone elected to represent every resident of Worcester, I must put these basic needs over symbolic gestures.Residents have expressed to me repeatedly that they want the council to focus on tangible issues like fixing potholes, maintaining parks, enhancing public safety, managing taxes, and improving schools. These are the responsibilities we should be concentrating on to improve everyday life for all in Worcester.Though my vote against the “sanctuary” resolution may define part of my tenure, I am prepared to stand by it, knowing it was cast in the best interest of the whole community. I aim to continue focusing on pragmatic, meaningful governance to ensure that Worcester remains a thriving, inclusive city for all who call it home.

Vice President JD Vance entered into a social media feud with former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan over criticism that the Trump administration was acting hypocritically about free speech. Vance gave a highly praised address at the Munich Security Conference that scolded European leaders for shutting down the right to free speech of their citizens. He appealed to the democratic values that should be shared in common between the U.S. and Europe. 'I think there’s a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the WH press briefing room and jailing people for dissenting views.' Among the critics who pounced on the speech to accuse the Trump administration of hypocrisy was Hasan. He pointed to the White House banning the Associated Press over the outlet's refusal to recognize the president's order to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. "Hey @JDVance, I know you’re busy lecturing the Europeans on free speech, but have you seen this?" said Hasan. "Yes dummy," Vance responded on his official account. "I think there’s a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the WH press briefing room and jailing people for dissenting views," he explained. "The latter is a threat to free speech, the former is not. Hope that helps!" Mehdi fired back in another missive that cited comments from Elon Musk calling for the imprisonment of "60 Minutes" journalists over allegations of unethical editing in an interview with Kamala Harris. "Thank you Mr Vice President for taking time out of your busy schedule to call me names," Mehdi added. "Did you not get the memo? Do you agree with Mr Musk on locking up US TV journos?""60 Minutes" was also criticized by Musk for misrepresenting the conditions for firings by the DOGE at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
