If you've ever heard Chuck Wicks' song 'Stealing Cinderella,' you know what a tearjerker it is. The song tells the story of a man asking his girlfriend's father for permission to marry his daughter -- basically, stealing Cinderella. And while anyone with a heart would be moved by this emotional song, Joseph Gottschall, an English professor at Washington & Jefferson College, was so moved by 'Stealing Cinderella' that he was inspired to write a whole book from the idea.

It just goes to show that music is a universal language, regardless of genre.

It seems like music competition reality shows are springing up with increasing frequency. There's this awesome, brand-new "must watch" show called 'The Vibe,' where the judges critique talent while encased in sensory deprivation chambers. They can't see. They can't hear. They don't know what the heck is going on with the singers who are auditioning. Country singer Chuck Wicks even turns up for a stint as a guest judge, complete with his own headphones, sunglasses and soundproof, coffin-like chamber that is akin to being trapped in a black void for four hours.
