It's sad to say this, but the days when hard rock music dominated the charts are a clear thing of the past. Do you know the last time a rock song was #1 for the year on the Billboard Top 100 charts? It was 2002, and it was Nickelback's "How You Remind Me", which doesn't even count because Nickelback is the musical equivalent of Nutraloaf. Still, we were at least able to briefly turn back the clock last night, as a slew of Rock Icons from years past (and a few movie stars, as well) showed up to rage last night at Club Nokia for the 4th Annual Revolver Golden God Awards.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Emma Red, or perhaps better known as Red Said Circus, moved to New York to pursue her artistic passions. I recently met up with her at Izzy Gold's studio and I was struck by her passion, talent and sincerity. Emma is a true artist with quite a moving story.

Many people walk through life without a care and without trying to discover their inner strengths and even weaknesses, but part of Emma's journey has been learning who she is and channeling it through creative and expressive endeavors. Whether it's songwriting, designing clothes, or making something out of nothing, she has a natural drive that inspires her art.
