Tiffani Barner, of Temple Terrace, wrote ‘I Am,’ which touches on rape culture.
“I Am” By Tiffani Barner Before I was able to walk again I had to crawl out of this ratchet thing you inducted me into See I was already aware of its initiation process because a friend of the family took it upon himself to quote unquote “school” me during my elementary years. I was told I had to give my sweet body to one after the other so I could graduate into this thing called Life if I were to be popular. I had managed to avoid the unwanted pregnancies and demonstrative jeers but how could I defend my young life from this burglar? I found it unbearable the activity so many overlooked, supported or even approved. I had been given all the wrong lessons in this growing curriculum of rape culture. I innocently danced eagerly to Too Live …

The recording from Morrisound studio is special in many ways.
Chuck Owen and Tom Morris recently collaborated on a jazz recording at Morrisound Recording in Temple Terrace. Owen is a jazz composer and professor at the University of South Florida, and Morris is a producer as well as co-owner of Morrisound Recording. The new collaboration is called River Runs. According to an article about the recording on Tampabay.com, "Many composers have tried the jazz-classical fusion, but few are able to bring it off." Yet, the article notes that "With about an hour of music, Owen's opus has the dimensions of a symphony by Bruckner or Mahler."

The trio has announced a Tampa stop on its summer tour – a first for the brothers in three years. That has us wondering: Are these guys are still “in” with your tweens and teens?
Back in 2010 there was no question that an announcement of a Jonas Brothers’ Tampa stop was a big deal. After all, Nick, Joe and Kevin were at the top of their game with hits like “Love Bug,” “Got Me Going Crazy” and “Hey Baby” “Burnin’ Up” the charts. They even broke hearts on their own television show and guest appearances on others. Tears flowed harder than the rain when flooding forced the brothers to cancel their Sept. 8, 2010, tour date at what was then known as the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre in Tampa. Why would I know about or even remember that? No, I’m not a huge fan, but as it turns out my daughter was and she was there for her 11th birthday. To me, it seems like just yesterday that my sister-in-law called to say she had picked …
