An Introduction

This is a blog about popular culture, at its most basic. Over the course of at least the next ten weeks, I will attempt to determine why we care about what we care about and what implications these cultural decisions have on us. From Kanye dissing Taylor Swift to Patrick Swayze to Dan Brown's next blockbuster, I will delve into the stories that we care about the most and give my own take as well as writing about why I think they matter (or if they matter).

I should be back soon with a blogroll, but for now . . . well, I was going to make another Kanye joke, but you really don't need to hear it.
