The Captain America film franchise has been a special interest of mine since I was in my early tween years, and I have always been (to a fault) eager to jump up and explain to anyone that the films work as rich character studies, filled with complex themes and interpersonal relationships that can tell us a lot about the human condition.

Rock Hall Review: Honoring Jimmy Buffett

However, what stole the night away for me was the induction of Jimmy Buffett.
