                Morgan Cole Wallen is an American country singer and songwriter. Morgan had competed in the sixth season of The Voice tv show. When Morgan competed he was a member of Usher's team. Morgan later became part of Adam Levines team. When Morgan got voted off of The voice at the end of the season he had sign a record deal with Panacea records later releasing his first debut Stand alone in 2015. Morgan Wallen wasn't going for music and fame he actually went to college on a baseball scholarship but due to an injury he started to pursue his dream in music.


I have a great interest in Morgan Wallen because when I was growing up my dad would play his music outside and inside while cleaning or having family nights. I always thought to myself what are we listening to every time his music came on. I soon started to love his music maybe because it played over and over again in my house or it might've been the way I seen my dad's face light up while singing Morgans song "The Way I Talk' to me. When ever I hear any of Morgans Song they remind me of my dad.

I found out I got accepted into Bloomsburg 2 weeks before Christmas and I was talking to my dad about wanting to go see him concert but he wasn't playing close around us. Then he told me we could take a vacation to where Morgan Wallen grew up and I was excited to go to his hometown. In July Of 2021 before classes started we went to Sneedville Tennessee. Sneedville is a small little town with not many people there but we were lucky to be able to go Elrod falls. 

People participate in fan culture in several ways like joining social media accounts dedicated to him buying his merchandise and even paying over 2,000 dollars for a concert ticket. Morgans fans love him so much that even though the tickets for stage seats cost nearly 2,000 dollars they still pay the price. Morgans shows sell out within minutes of being on sell. People who participate in this fan culture are people from teenage up to adults. People who love country music participates  in the fan culture.

Morgan Wallen has a youtube channel called 'this past weekend " and fans can follow it and watch the videos  they talk about what Morgan did and they even talk about his concerts that are coming up. You could also buy merchandise from cups to t shirts you could order a blanket and you could order custom crocs with Morgan Wallen on them. Fans also participate in fan culture by fan art which is when fans draw what they are interested in. The picture below is an example of fan art.

The One Who Fills a Void

       One day I was spending time in Benton at my uncle's house like I do often. Me and him were working on a 1948 John Deere G that he had bought in the 70's and is now mine. My uncle is an older gentleman who was never married and never had kids, so I am almost the closest thing he has ever had to a son or grandson. Which after my grandfathers passed away years ago, he really filled the void and became almost more like a grandfather figure in way. On this particular day we were trying to clean up the tractor after it was caught in a flood. My uncle was a truck driver and a diesel mechanic his whole life and has a small shop in his backyard full of expensive tools that had almost all gotten caught in the flood waters. We had already spent days cleaning the shop and the tools. At this point we were both getting tired and discouraged. Our 1948 John Deere G I had gone into the house for a drink and when I came back there my uncle sat on the back steps of the house...

My Best Friend

"A sister is someone that is not only your sister but a best friend." That is what Julie, my sister, and I always say because we are truly best friends. We do everything together. We are only 17 months apart in age. My mom would always dress us in the same outfit when we were little and everyone would always ask if we were twins. Julie is someone that I always want by my side, which has made it hard and extremely different since I have moved into college. We have made so many memories together and get along so well. My sister makes the harder times easier and the easy times more fun. We tell each other everything and would always make time in the day too caught up and just talk to each other. Most of the time those conversations would happen at night while everyone is sleeping. Either one of us would go into the other's bedroom and sit on whoever's bed. We would always end up laughing too loud or making a lot of noise and would wake my mom up. She would always come in...
