Resolved Question: What songs reflect the social and political issues in the 2000's?

I am doing a history project on music and how it reflected the social and political issues of the time period. I started with the 60's and picked Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the national anthem because it is widely thought that the noises in it were supposed to sound like bombs and rockets during the Vietnam War. For the 70's I picked "Power to the People" by John Lennon because it addresses women's' and labor rights. These were big issues during this time. I chose "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica for the 80's because it came out at the same time people finally started to care about the Vietnam War veterans and studies were being done on PTSD and such. And for the 90's, I chose "April 26th, 1992" by Sublime because it is about the LA riots which shows that, even in the 1990's race was still an issue. But I am stuck for the 2000 decade. Maybe it's because we're still in it and I just can't think of any songs that are out now. But does anyone know of a song that came out during that decade that had something to do with politics or social issues of the time period? Thank you soooo much! I will award ten points if you are willing to help! more

Resolved Question: Poll: Jimi Hendrix or Michael Jackson?

For my history of rock and roll class, we did a tournament bracket of the 50's, 60's, 70's, and, 80's people in the rock hall of fame. Elvis won the 50's, Jimi won the 60's, Led Zepplin won the 70's, and Michael won the 80's. don't ask how these came to be if u don't agree with it, we had a vote, and this is what came to be lol. But in the end it came to Jimi and Michael. Michael won in the end, but that was because more people in the class liked rap/pop than rock sadly... more

Resolved Question: What do YOU think of my Twilight Saga/Illuminati Theory?

This is all just a random theory that developed in my head, a lot of it falls under conspiracy theories of this world. I think The Vampires in Twilight are a representation of Reptilians (Illuminati theory) -Supposedly Reptilians reside in human form (As do the vamps in Twilight) -The illuminati are a secret society dating back to the 1700s that the majority are unaware of (The Volturi in Twilight) -In Twilight, the Volturi kill vampires who expose themselves to the humans (Apparently the Illuminati murder celebrities who try to expose them, i.e. Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Princess Diana) -Apparently when reptilians shape shift, it begins with their eyes (Blinking, changing color, shape) And i thought of the scene in Twilight where Bella asked Edward if he had gotten contacts because she noticed a change in his eyes, which caught Edward off guard, he began blinking and walked away from her -In Twilight, Jacob Black and his tribe (Representation of Native Americans obviously) are aware of the Vampires because their history goes way back in time, They shape shift as well. -So maybe (My theory) The Reptilians are the ones who killed off all of the Native Americans because they knew their secret Additional info: My great great (native american) grandmother who lived to be 109 was interviewed for a book and she explained how the Native people back then were able to shape shift and talk to the animals in their language This is JUST a totally un-biased theory of mine, please don't call me crazy or anything, whats YOUR opinion on my theory? more

Resolved Question: Why can't black musicians be more like Jimi Hendrix?

These days every time I hear and see a black person in the music industry they are always 99% rapping or if they are girls they are singing R&B. Why aren't there many black rockers these days? I'm not just talking about Jimi Hendrix, I am also talking about Bob Marley they are freeking awesome, and they are what I'd like to call real music. They play music for the soul and not for "street cred". Seriously I'd like to know how black history went from Jimi Freekin Hendrix to gangstas rappin about their life story of how they shot and got shot and how they use to deal drugs and pimpin girls. LAAAMMMEEEE!! I don't hate RAP, I think 2pac was awesome more

Resolved Question: Air Guitar championship?

For my Rock History Class we're having an Air Guitar competition for our major grade. I have to have an Alias(stage name), dress up, and air guitar to a song of our choice for sixty seconds. So far, I've decided on Gimme Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd and dressing up as a cowgirl. However, the guitar parts of the song I have in mind are long (not for Skynyrd) and I wanna incorporate at least the course. My questions are: 1. How do I shorten the song or cut out parts of it to work for my project? AND 2. Would Roadhouse Blues by The Doors or possibly Spanish Castle Magic by Jimi be better choices? I'm trying to avoid bands such as AC/DC and even Jimi Hendrix because I am certain they'll be used by many. AND LASTLY, 3. Good stage name for either of the songs? more

Resolved Question: CHARLESM help please. Please answer to my post in detail. I really need help.?

I am having a really hard time figuring out what the meaning of this passage is. I have gone over it several times and still very confused on what it really means. Please Help. Talkin’ Bout My, Uh, Your, Um, Our(?) Generation Beloit | Jimi Hendrix | Eminem | the Beatles | the Times Okay, class, get out your pencils. Today we have a pop quiz. The times, they … A. are a changin’ B. are a changin’, but not enough C. are a changin’ is ungrammatical D. What. Ever. E. Oh, shut up! F. Dude, where’s my Zeppelin CD? G. None of the above H. All of the above. All right. Pencils down. Every year, Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin, publishes something it calls “The Mindset List.” It is a collection of references that remind college professors they are older than their students. This year’s list notes that most of the current crop of college freshmen were born in 1984. It goes on to list 50 references that professors know, but their incoming students don’t. Some of the examples: They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era and probably did not know he had ever been shot. Tiananmen Square means nothing to them. The statement “You sound like a broken record” means nothing to them. (They have never owned a record player.) Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black-and-white TV. They cannot fathom not having a remote control. Michael Jackson has always been white. Jay Leno has always been on The Tonight Show. They never take a swim and think about Jaws. The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as World War I, World War II, and the Civil War. They’ve never heard: “Where’s the beef?,” “I’d walk a mile for a Camel,” or “De plane, de plane!” There has always been MTV. The Mindset List cocreator, Beloit professor Tom McBride, was quoted as saying that The Mindset List is “an alert for those of us who may be suffering from hardening of the references.” I thought, A cholesterol analogy — there’s another reference they won’t get. As I wandered into a greasy spoon and took a seat at the counter, I was contemplating, as the Stones sang, what a drag it is getting old. A waitress standing a few feet away, unmoored from customers at the moment, sang along to an Elvis Presley song from the Fifties playing on the jukebox. As I listened, I realized she knew every word. The waitress was about 20. Elvis had been dead more years than she had been alive. How, I wondered, did she know the words to an Elvis song? And not to just any Elvis song, but one from the Fifties? I don’t know the words to, say, a Count Basie song. Okay, Count Basie songs don’t have words. The point is that this girl — and, yes, she seemed to me just that, a girl — was extraordinarily familiar with a song that was so ancient as to be practically Biblical. (And Elvis begot The Beatles, and The Beatles begot the English Invasion, and the English Invasion begot hair bands, and hair bands begot punk, and punk begot grunge, and grunge begot thrash-metal-indie-ska-hip-hop.) At 20, I did not possess the same effortless knowledge of my parents’ music. We started chatting. “I love classic rock,” she said. “Led Zeppelin. All that stuff. Everybody in my generation really likes that stuff.” The next day, I stopped to check out a poster sale. The posters taped to the outside walls, presumably to entice customers, weren’t of anything having to do with the current generation. One was of Muhammad Ali glowering over a flat-on-his-back Sonny Liston. Another was of Jim Morrison. A third depicted Jimi Hendrix coaxing fire from his guitar. The only poster remotely related to current times showed Kurt Cobain in performance. What, I wondered, am I to make of this? Is there a generation gap or isn’t there? You don’t hear the term generation gap anymore. I used to think that was because we simply assumed it existed and didn’t need to identify it any longer. But is it possible that the baby boomers so dominated youth culture as to have defined it for generations to come? What with those aging boomers going with their kids to Foo Fighters concerts, has the gap narrowed to a thin fissure? Of course, there is Britney and Eminem and Blink 182. But will college students 30 years hence be singing Eminem songs and purchasing his likeness for their walls? Or will they still be singing old Elvis songs and buying Hendrix posters? Sometimes I don’t know what to think. Let me rephrase that. Almost always I don’t know what to think. But sometimes it’s worse than other times. This is one of those times. As for the times themselves, I have no idea what they are a doin’. I only know that it’s always been fun to use bad grammar. Hey charles m can you please explain each paragraph to me? Then also can you tell me what the full meaning of the passage is. Like completey meaning. Thanks more

Resolved Question: Is America racist, or do we have racists in our nation?

I saw a show of Glenn Beck's, yeah i know, and he asked a really good question; "is America racist nation or do we have racists in it?" i answered that we have racists in our nation. The reason why is because, looking back in history, we have a lot of accomplished and successful minorities. So, for example, Frederick Douglas, Sidney Poitier, Michelle Kwan, Jimi Hendrix, and Anthony Quin all have been accomplished and successful. I think that if America is a racist nation then non of these people would ever be successful. What do you think? Mature, adult answers only please.By our nation, I mean America as a whole. to JennyJones, does that mean that every person in America is racist? Peacelover, I disagree. Those people that you mentioned are individuals WHO are racist. I wouldn't say both. Ching, what you've said is true but in order to overcome prejudice someone who wasn't prejudice must have recognized their talent first. They were also accepted within the circles of their own interests(i.e. abolition, sports, acting, music, etc.) more

The earliest canonical gospel was that of "Mark". It is dated at about 70 CE, roughly 40 years after the death of Jesus of Nazareth. These individuals all died around 40 years ago. We have the luxury of living in modern times and obviously know of these individuals through various means. What if we did not have newspapers, radio, film, television, and internet? What if we only knew of these individuals through stories. Those stories were repeated and changed and embellished over and over and over again, branching out across the regions as they were told. Then, an individual, 40 years later, decided to record a history of that person. Then the story gets exaggerated further. Around 10 years later, 2 more people from different regions record a history, using a few different sources, one being the source from 10 years earlier. Then another 10-15 years go by, and we have another history from someone else. None of these individuals knew each other, and none knew that their "gospels" would be collected together with many others, and chosen as the definitive version(s) of (fill in the blank's) history, even though they all contradict each other in many areas. Which version do you think is most accurate and why? Do the contradictions make you question the validity of the opposing stories?Alexander isn't supposed to be god in the flesh, nor did he do miracles, nor did he require one's complete and total devotion for the afterlife. He was an ambitious leader and conqueror.Oral traditions didn't change???????? How many times are stories told that are ever so slightly embellished? Stories wouldn't survive unless embellished a little bit here and there. It happens all the time. It's not like the story stayed in one area, a closed environment. It spread, and branched out. No 2 people tell a story the same way. It changed over 40 years. If you can't understand that, you are in complete denial. more

Resolved Question: Why don't most modern black people produce their own music?

What happened to Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Tupac... They produce commercial crap nowadays. that I don't dare watch music channels. Why don't they play any instruments anymore... an acoustic guitar seems to be too complicated for them. Back in the 60's-90's a guitar was a pre-requisite for any musician. Why don't they write their own songs? The lyrics are atrocious, nothing profound or beyond the capabilities of a pre-schooler. Do they lack musical talent and creativity that they resort to sampling aka stealing, every superior song they can find? ... Timbaland.. Kanye West - INGREDIENTS TO $$$ - Steal an unknown song with a good rhythm, overlap it with lyrics consisting off sex, drugs and parties to appeal to the massess, place an overused video consisting of pornstars. Straight to No.1!! The talent is overwhelming!! And that worst thing is.. they think they're the king of the world for producing shit ... Quote: "That's how you attack a king? You attack moi?" - fat timbaland. or even worse look at how cocky that illiterate kanye acts! Why do we call them musical geniuses, when my band is original and actually possess talent? Why are they making millions, when other bands and artists assert more effort but can barely earn a living... c'mon this doesn't make sense in society!! Have we lost our sophistication that we now settle for mediocrity? This decade in my opinion has to go down as the worst in history.Oh and on top of that, I realised they can't sing and use voice enhancers! Imagine watching them live... the hilarity!! I'm not generalising an entire race... just the majority of that race who produce this music. more

Resolved Question: please check my personal statemant for univerity?

Personal Statement I am a Dyslexic Student of the arts from PentValley Technology Collage in Folkestone. I have always, since a child, known that I want to become an artist of some sort. My passions all link to the arts. I adore all forms of art and am very open minded towards all forms of it. As a graphic designer I try my best to involve multiple forms of art from photography to fine arts and illustrations into my work. As a student of the arts I have taken a great interest in exploring the history of the arts especially in Photography and Graphic Design. I personally think that it is very important to refer to the past in order to move on to the future, my mother told me this at a young age, as a child I didn’t understand this saying. These days I have found this saying to be very true, When studying and reproducing works of art from the past I have seen for myself that a lot of contemporary forms of visual art have been heavily influenced by elements of the past and have noticed that forms of design repeat themselves as time goes by, like a cycle of art if you will. My favorite style of art is surrealism, I find it to be the most enjoyable and expressive form of art. Surrealism can be found in allot of my work I try to include abstract and surreal vibes in my illustrations, graphic design and photography. As a photographer I have taken great interest in using film over digital. I prefer this medium because I like to be very physical with my photographs. I deliberately create scratches and perform experiments with my film; I have taken a liking To Instant Polaroid film and have had the pleasure of creating emulsion lifts and manual manipulations with this medium. I can however see the benefits of digital photography due to the cost of film and its forgiving nature when creating mistakes. However when working with film I have found it helps me think about the photos I am taking because I don’t want to waste an expensive roll of film, so I pay attention to the settings on my camera. I have also found that being able to produce my own images has helped both my graphic design and artwork. I have found that photography has helped me open my eyes more to the world around me; it has made me appreciate the beauty in natural formations and man made shapes alike. This has especially helped me to appreciate and improve on my fine art techniques as well as 3-D pieces of work. I enjoy playing instruments outside of school as a personal hobby of mine. I play the Bass Guitar, Electric and Acoustic Guitar as well as the Harmonica. I play instruments to help me appreciate the music that I listen to and as a way of relaxing and expressing myself. I have experience with playing along with a band but I find that I prefer to play by myself this is mainly due to my preferred style of music. A lot of my friends listen to contemporary pop / rock music whereas I personally much prefer music from the past. My music taste, like my art is very diverse. I listen to a lot of 1070’s progressive rock such as JethroTull, Procol Harum and KingCrimson. I also like to listen to Jazz musicians such as King Curtis and I am a big fan of blues musicians such as Peter green, Jimi Hendrix and the early music produced by Led Zeppelin as well as Bob Dylan. I have recently taken a liking to folk music as well and have grown fond of the work from The Pogues. I find that all these artists of the past have exceptional talent and can perform live just as well as they can perform in a recording studio. Sadly I find this is not the case with a lot of our contemporary music artists. My hobbies also include taking photographs on some of the many cameras I have collected over the past, Sailing on my Catamaran with my father and relaxing with my close friends. I have also taken a keen interest in writing poetry; My poems are rather macabre and dark with a twist of my dry sense of humor. My favorite poets are Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Bukowski. I have found that writing short poems about my illustrations and photographs has helped both myself and others to understand and look at my work with more depth and better observation. I also read a lot of fantasy books from the author Raymond E Fiest and I am also a fan of graphic novels / comic books, my favorite author being Garth Ennis. I think his dark and gritty, straight to the point story lines are very influential and his macabre nature can be seen in allot of my more sinister pieces of work. I am interested in the course you have to offer me because I am confidant that it will help me further broaden my knowledge as well as my skills in art and design. I have also noticed that a lot of the universities that I am interested in demand a BTEC Foundation Diploma in Art and Design and this qualification is also highly sought after by universities and with this qualification I will stand a better chance of getting into the university of my preferred choice. I have put you as my first c more

Resolved Question: What makes a musician talented, rock and pop?

Okay, here's my little question for tonight, boys and girls. What makes a talented musician talented? For the instrumentalists of a band, is it the skill with which they play their instruments, such as Joe Satriani's Andalusia, John Petrucci in Dream Theater's Stream of Consciousness, or Neil Peart in Rush's YYZ? Or perhaps the ability to write a simple and easy-to-play riff and still make it sound good, such as ACDC's Back in Black, Metallica's One, The Rolling Stones' Paint it Black? For a vocalist, is it their range and ability to sing in a myriad of different tones and pitches, such as Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Rob Halford, John Popper? Or is it the way they can stick through an entire song without changing their tone once, such as Fernando Ribeiro or Martin Engler? Or maybe they can sing at a pitch unattainable by the untrained, like Jónsi Birgisson or Tiny Tim? Is it talent to take a bad singing voice and make it sound really good, such as Kurt Cobain or Brian Johnson? Or how about playing an instrument whilst singing, such as Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, Bob Dylan, Paul Gilbert? BQ: When it comes to bands, do you prefer bands that change with every album, such as Floater and Pink Floyd, or stay relatively the same, such as ACDC and KISS? BQ: Do you prefer Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower or Jimi Hendrix's cover? And, one that note, what about Like a Rolling Stone? BQ: List what you think are the 5 most talented bands in history. You don't have to say why or put them in any specific order.So, basically, Kathleen, what you're saying is a singer is talented if they're Bjorn Strid xD more
