Charlie Recchia, Editor-in-Chief
This is my first year working with 42Fifty, and I hope to make it a great one. I have strongly enjoyed writing ever since I was in elementary school. Throughout my school years, I would get so excited to write whenever I had the chance. I am now a junior in high school, and I have found a great outlet for my writing with 42Fifty. I really enjoy watching movies and playing music in my free time. I play the drums in a rock band, as well as take part in Oswego High School’s drama productions. With interests like these, I have the knowledge to be a strong Entertainment Co-Editor. I hope I can bring a lot to 42Fifty’s table during my first year.

Although this record is impressive and way ahead of its time, it does contain a few weak moments and questionable production choices.

I’m not gonna lie, I have been listening to this album non-stop since I’ve been a Wilco fan (starting about when I was 3 years old ). Almost every track holds this cryptic meaning that makes me want to dig deeper into what it all adds up to.
