OPINION — Justin Bieber’s “Justice” album brings me back to the “Purpose” era Bieber. They both contain songs with deep meaning about faith, hope and love. That being said, “Justice” is an overall slower-paced, matured version of “Purpose”, but this time with many songs dedicated to his rela…

OPINION — Composer Gustav Mahler was met with much tragedy in his relatively short life; the pain of death would follow him from his childhood up to his own death at the age of 50 in 1911. One of 14 children, eight of his siblings would not survive past childhood, and his brother, Otto, woul…
