John Lennon, ‘Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection': Album Review
Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He certainly seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer.

Top 15 ’90s Aerosmith Songs
If you didn't like Aerosmith's '80s catalog, there's a good chance you hated their '90s output. After achieving a miraculous comeback with 1987's Permanent Vacation, the newly sober rockers were eager to keep the good times rolling. They continued riding high with 1989's Pump and 1993's Get a Grip, the latter becoming their first No. 1 album in the United States. They returned after another four-year gap with Nine Lives, which underperformed its predecessors but still sold a respectable 2 million copies. In hindsight, it was just a warmup for their first and only chart-topping single, the divisive "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

What do you plan to do when you retire? Will you go for that extended hike in the Chisos Mountains of the Big Bend National Park? Will you spend time landing that big bass at Toledo Bend?

7 Animals That Could Soon Go Extinct in Texas
As an animal lover, it's sad knowing that many more animals are going extinct in Texas than one might think. Before searching the internet a bit, I figured that there would be a few endangered species in Texas, but instead, I found out that there are over 200 species (plants and animals) that are either threatened or endangered in the state, as shown on a list created by the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Keep in mind that this is ONLY the list for Texas, and it varies from state to state -- but either way, this is tragic information.
