Consider sharing it with your friends.
2017 is gonna be a great year. And IMHO a good year to have some distractions to avoid the news. What is a better distraction than Pop Culture entertainment for that?
So I ask you students, what pop culture do you follow? I'm very curious to hear your favorite band/musician, movie/movies, tv shows, hobbies, anything else?
This will give me a good barometer for what's important to the upcoming generation. Here's my favorites.
Band: Phish, Kanye, Niki Manaj, Childish Gambino, The White Panda
Movies New: La La Land, I need to see Hidden Figures!
Movies Old: All Godfather movies, Moulin Rouge, Big Fish, Adam Sandler
TV Shows: Not watching any right now, but I like GOT, Silicon Valley, House of Cards, Breaking Bad, Fixer Upper on HGTV
Hobbies: Watching my kids swim :-), Working out
Other: Huge Hamilton Fan! Going to see it in Chicago soon. I suggest giving it a listen.
Please share your favorite Pop Culture topics in the comments.
Oh and my other favorite is the MSU Spartans! Go Green!
