In rock and roll, the word “sweet” is as versatile as it is evocative, capturing everything from romance and nostalgia to rebellion and introspection. Artists from across rock’s many styles and eras have used “sweet” to convey complex feelings, whether celebrating love, longing, or even defiance. Through this word, musicians tap into a universal language that resonates with audiences, connecting themes as diverse as spirituality, personal ambition, and gritty resilience. The songs on this list demonstrate just how adaptable “sweet” can be, representing the varied emotions and stories that make rock and roll such a rich tapestry.

Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course Just when you thought you couldn’t be any more disgusted by the mainstream media (or American Pravda, as I like to call it), the aftermath of the resoundingly strong statement election has proven us wrong. Because of exaggerations, misquotes, and outright lies about President Trump, the people who were adamantly supportive of Kamala Harris are in genuine fear for their lives. It doesn’t help that Reddit has turned itself into an echo chamber, permanently banning anyone who tries to speak logically or mentions that they supported Trump in the election. Social proof of the hysteria fills mediums like TikTok, X, and Instagram, where people are filming their meltdowns over the election results. But the real issue here isn’t the reactions. It’s what caused the reactions, and it wasn’t Trump. The lies have caused immense harm. Between the outright lies of the Harris campaign and the way the media picked them up and magnified them, people are convinced of outrageous things. I’m trying to look at this compassionately because many of us have had our own worries about four years under Harris or President Biden and eight years with President Obama. The difference is not that our fears are rooted in reality and therefore more reasonable – not at all. The difference is that our fears were not magnified by every social media outlet but X and amplified by the mainstream media every single day of the entire election. Many of these people are truly convinced that their lives are at risk in a Trump presidency. The news has told them so, and it is reinforced every day, creating a terrifying echo chamber. Because they are so convinced, it’s very difficult to get through to them that things are not as they believe. The outrageous propaganda has accelerated to the point that it’s about to lead to suicides, civil unrest, and perhaps even civil war. And most of it is based on lies and misdirections. I started out being amused by the meltdowns – some of them genuinely are outrageous. But I quickly realized that while for some, it was showmanship, for many others, it was mortal fear – a fear that was manufactured but is nonetheless real. And, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I can’t look at it that way and feel good about it. The monster doesn’t really have to be in the closet for a child to be terrified of what’s in the closet. If they’re convinced the monster is there, then they feel authentic fear. The media will have blood on its hands. The media has the blood on its hands of anyone who commits suicide over this manufactured fear. They bear the responsibility for anyone harmed in civil unrest that arises from this. They’ve lied nonstop and without public rebuttals about things like Project 2025, abortion bans, gay marriage being dissolved, and interracial marriages being dissolved. They’ve been told that even legal immigrants to the country will be rounded up into camps and deported. They’re convinced that there are internment camps there for them. They believe that women will be forced to have babies and that the government will track their menstrual period apps for irregularities. If you think about it, with the camps and such, some of their conspiracy theories have been some of our conspiracy theories. It’s just that the villain is different. And we didn’t spin out of control because we also had the world telling us we were crazy, whereas their world is reaffirming their fears around the clock. Look at some of the following with the awareness that these poor people have been brainwashed to truly believe that what they fear is real. (Warning: Mentions of abortion, profanity, and suicide.) Dude, the media has brainwashed a bunch of women into thinking that Donald Trump is going to knock down their door tomorrow and force them to give birth to babies. It’s that insane. How could people be this brainwashed? It just blows my mind. pic.twitter.com/IjBbdamel7 — Insurrection Barbie (@DefiyantlyFree) November 7, 2024 These screenshots were collected by the X user, Reddit Lies.   It’s easy to look at this stuff and laugh it off. It’s far more difficult for us to understand their fears and show compassion, particularly after we ourselves have been demonized for years. The people who need to be held accountable are the talking heads who reinforced these laws and triggered this fear. Honestly, I see these people as victims of the media and the shady campaign run by the Democrats. I have more to say on this topic, but that is content for a different article. While I’m sick to death of being called a Nazi, a fascist, garbage, an inbred hillbilly, uneducated, and worse, lashing out in anger will do nothing to resolve this. Our anger should be directed where it is deserved: the people creating dark fairy tales and boogeymen and convincing these folks it was real. All we can do individually right now is show people who we really are. Remember that if someone truly believes that a danger exists, it doesn’t matter if it is real or not. It’s real to them. If you can’t bring yourself to feel compassion or kindness, at least don’t make their fears worse than they already are. I believe we can do better than what has been done to us over the past decades. This is our part of making America great again.

Chastity belts are items that titillate and fascinate in equal measure, inspiring the image of a medieval knight locking up his loved one’s private parts to ensure her abstinence during his absence. While exceptionally unhygienic, the belief that a padlock could protect a woman’s virtue has been ridiculed on countless occasions. And while there are extant examples of so-called medieval chastity belts, modern scholars have revealed that the entire concept is pure myth! The surviving information and sources we have all describe the chastity belt in the same way – a metal device which locked around a woman’s genitalia to prevent any sexual activity. However, there are variations in style. Some belts are said to have had leather straps at the waist, others are described as having a further deterrent to any men who may have tried to bypass the belt in the form of spikes pointing away from the woman’s body (and towards any would-be suitor). A 16th-century satirical woodcut about the uselessness of chastity belts in ensuring faithfulness.

In a remarkable twist for a site steeped in Arthurian legend, recent archaeological findings reveal that King Arthur’s Hall on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, long associated with medieval folklore, is far older than previously thought. This remote site was believed to be a medieval structure but has now been conclusively dated to the Neolithic period, placing its construction around 5,500 to 5,000 years ago—approximately five times older than past estimations. According to a BBC report, the discovery was led by a team from Historic England and researchers from various UK universities, including Dr. Tim Kinnaird from the University of St. Andrews. “This is a major revelation,” said Dr. Kinnaird, emphasizing the significance of these findings. “Archaeologists will now have to re-appraise our understanding of the prehistoric landscape of Bodmin Moor.” The results not only alter historical timelines but also provide fresh insights into the lives of Cornwall’s ancient inhabitants.
