The 100 People Who Are Changing America


In the March Issue of Rolling Stone magazine. They have come out with a list of 100 people they believe to be “Agents of Change,” featuring those who are changing the world with their powerful ideas. 

Topping the list unsurprisingly is 
Barack Obama, but he’s followed by a few celebrities that may take you by surprise, like Kanye West and Tina Fey

So how did Rolling Stone come up with their list? They say, “We've ranked 100 artists and leaders, policymakers, writers, thinkers, scientists and provocateurs who are fighting every day to show us what is possible — whether it's engineering a new electrical grid, reinventing the way movies are made or challenging us to let go of our illusions and face the brave new world that stands before us.”

Bye Bye Misfit

Misfit clothing is no more. Over the weekend after a visit to Jugernaut and one of the owners, Manny told us to check the name out to see if it happened to be taken. We did and it was taken and they have been operating since 2008 as we have been operating since 2007 but did not make the name official. Misfit is now known as Untucked Clothing.
